I once had one until June but that was the only time. My brother gets his to turn red every year by placing a black bag over it at a certain time each day. I don't know when he starts doing it and the bracts are never very big but they do turn red.

Gosh I haven't heard of that, might be worth a try. I have another very old straggly one that I keep persevering with so could try with that one first. I have heard you should put them in the dark for a few months but don't know when that would be and I would probably forget where I put it!!!

My brother covers it with a black bag at the same time every day. It takes a few months to work. I wouldn't have the patience myself :)
