Mature cuttings from the tops of my older plants bloom the first season for me Mary.
This is what those cuttings I root look like. I take the entire tops and leave the fans intact. I like to do 2 to a pot so they are pretty after letting them sit out and skin for a week or two...
Than again, I have to realize that Alaska and Florida are at two opposite ends of the pole, and seasonal lighting and humidity likely will play into the mix...
