I bought this plant in 2018; it has grown to 5 feet. It looks healthy, has beautiful green leaves, and the stem is nice and strong. The growth is always vigorous during the springtime, but there are no blooms yet. I had contacted Logees for advice on how to get the blooms, and I have followed the advice, but I am still waiting for the blooms. Researching on the web, I learned that if the plant is grown from a seed, it takes 10 years to bloom, but if it is grafted from an already flowering plant, the blooms come within a year. The store told me that it is not grown from a seed, and it should flower pretty soon. I love the plant, and I am still patiently waiting for it to bloom.

Robust and happy plant. Good size and with buds forming even! In clay pot now with some biochar, perlite, and worm castings.
I purchased this plant a year ago. I planted it in a 12 inch container. I grew quite fast to three feet. I pruned to keep it to three feet. I let the soil go dry until leaves start to droop a bit before I water. I fertilize as indicated here in plant care. Plant looks happy and healthy. (It had some Spider Mites in winter, but I sprayed Neem oil solution and they went away).
There are no blooms yet.
What can I do to get blooms?
