Ursula, I have had my jade plant for 15 years. Purchased it at a junk store for 99 it is in a huge floor planter and this year it bloomed. I did not leave it out any longer than usual I just thought it finally got big enough to bloom. I wish the flowers were fragrant.
I wish I could get my Snake plant to bloom they say those are fragrant. It is so big it is almost busting the pot it should bloom if pot bound makes them bloom something I was told.
