How do you think that I got two flower stems!!! My conservatory is VERY humid.
Best tip seems to be to fill the leaf axils with water.

No chance of it going in the bathroom - the whole plant is about a metre and a half across!

I'll tell you what - these flowers are emerging far faster than any of my seeds that haven't germinated!!!!
