Profusion of blooms and time of blooming might have something to do with =
the age of the plant. Also for Clivia. Our cactus gets western light =
and blooms but not profusely. A friend has one that gets little natural =
light. It blooms beautifully. Another friend has hers in the SE window =
and it also blooms profusely.
Perhaps it has more to do with the plant=E2=80=99s genetics?
