I had quite a few of them at the last house...indirect light south window lighting worked for me....I got tired of growing them so I tossed them and now after trying so many other house plants I am ready to try them again.

Great job with getting one to flower...

While getting it to flower, I wish I had also been getting it to live. Don't know what happened but it died last fall and I haven't thought about getting a replacement until lately.
