Do you still have plants in your greenhouse???

Now I was under the impression that the flowers came before the leaves on this one - clearly not.
What is the secret to getting a bloom from it?

A. Yes still have plants in my greenhouses, some of my plants are in there all year round.
M. Not sure what the secret is I let it dry out when the leaves start yellowing then start watering again in spring, it flowerd the first year i had it didn't flower last year, this year it did and I treated it the same so not sure.
