it's also busy growing roots, since it's got all this new space available. so roots and offsets - there's no way it's going to bloom for awhile.
mine bloomed indoors in may-june and then stopped and is now starting again. of course, spaths last for a long time; but it seems that 2 active blooming periods (growing new spaths) is all mine can manage so far in one year. i got it last year in july - as a good start in 6" pot. and it's still is in it's original 6" pot and is ultra pot-bound!
but i also read that they bloom more when repotted and given more room....so now i really don't know what's best.
so, @dyzzypixxy,
i suppose yours is outdoors for the most part and gets good light and humidity. but still, given these conditions, does it produce new spathes in spurts? or continuously? mine is in west window with good bright dappled light (i have a 'domino' variegated one) and i feed it with AV 8-8-8 and TR osmo 14-14-14 granules - so it's pretty much on constant feed.
just curious what is the optimal regime in sunny FL?
