When I first got my Parrot Plant it had a fair number of flowers. The plant was quite small as was the pot. The flowers all died off over the summer.
Now in Spring the plant is now over two feet tall, in a BIG well-drained pot and well-watered, yet there are no flowers, although it is healthy and strong.

It might be the size of the pot - these plants tend to flower better when the roots are slightly potbound, so if you put it in a pot that was much larger than the original rootball, that may be the cause. Also though, have you been feeding it since April (should be fed fortnightly April through till September) and if so, what with?
