Have faith ... it will ! They flower easily :o)
Did you give it some fresh compost ?

Yes Hywel I'm keeping my fingers crossed I've been giving it more water these hot days .. right or wrong ! ?? x

Yes give it a good drenching when you water it. Let it dry out in between waterings though.

That is an amazing looking plant, Hywel. It reminds me of the old television mast that used to be pictured at the start of BBC programmes when I was young (very young - we're talking 1950s here!)

lol Yes I remember that, and I remember the 50s. My gran had a TV, so I used to see it every week when we visited her :o)
