Never been a problem to flower this clone. It comes in from outside in September and once the bulbs are fully mature the flower spikes start to grow. No need to worry about drying it out and giving it a rest. It receives a little less water in winter but not too much. The bulbs are still quite plump. It’s also not been repotted in at least eight years but the growth is as good as ever. There are bulbs on bulbs on bulbs on top of the pot, just as in the wild. That is insigne sanderae round the corner.
