Oh that's so pretty! It doesn't look like that one has any pups, and the purple flower is there... so are you saying yours in the pic will soon die?
I would be thrilled either way, to be graced with a pup or a flower. Is there a better time of year to buy them that would give them the most possible time to establish a pup before flowering, or is that a wrong idea to begin with? I admired them for a couple months at the garden center before giving in and taking one home. I think I want more next time I'm at that store.
When I water the tree, 2-3x per week, I dribble some on the tilly also, never when the sun is shining on the pot. Coupled with morning dew, does this sound like a good plan?
