I have had constant blooming of my minis in reservoirs all summer and still blooming and getting bigger now. They live over my kitchen sink so I look at them a lot and they make me so happy. How many years can you expect a mini to live without doing anything to it except watering it and feeding it? I know that it will get stalk-y as the lower leaves die off and will need to be replanted deeper eventually. How long before eventually?

My babies are now about 2 years old. I have had to remove some suckers that I allowed to grow into big plants. (I will try not to let the babies get that big next time. They were as big as their Mother so it was very crowded in the pot and I had to manhandle them off of her stem. They have all survived so I have more plants now.)
