Lincs - try putting it outside in a slightly bigger pot in the summer. They dont need alot of looking after (watering) the increased light levels make them increase and flower really well. I like the watering can!

What a lovely gift. Mine flower every year (one of them twice) and I don't do anything with them. I think they shrive on neglect and lack of watering!!! lol
