Have a little patience. Not that long ago, the Earth was populated with a number of amphibian species that eventually evolved to withstand the much more arid climate far inland. Instead of being dependent on water in which to lay their eggs in, their eggs became more robust, covered in hard shells that could be laid on dry land. Around the same time, the first malipoense plants started to mature and produce buds. Eventually, those dry land amphibians radiated into several groups, one group became what we now know as mammals. Other groups became full fledged reptiles and dinosaurs. Over time, the dinosaurs essentially went extinct, but at least one group survived and became birds. At this point, the very first malipoense started to open their buds, and now today we get to enjoy them in their full glory. So really, you only need to wait another 150 million years, give or take, and your plant should be fully in bloom by then.
