Hello all! Sandi suggested I post my question here in the tropicals forum too..so here goes:

I have this lovely Protea plant before, though have not been successful making it bloom. I got it in 2008 and till recently was decently alive bot not blooming, just never ending leaves. Unfortunately summer this year, while I was away, my hubby decided to repot it while I was away, and the plant just dwindled and lost all the leaves, so I am not even sure if it is still alive. Hoping it will come back like other plants..does anyone have any experience on this plant?
