I’ve just started on this journey. After a few false starts that died, I finally got one to root well. The plant is about 8 months old now and looks pretty happy.
Have fun on the journey! There are several ways to get it to flower if you don’t want to wait, but I’d recommend giving it at least 2 years so the plant can grow big and strong first.
If you want it to flower on its own, I think this is the way to go. You can also cut up an apple or banana and place them around the plant (the gasses they give off will encourage it to flower), or drop a calcium carbide tablet into the middle of the plant with some water (careful when doing this).

I’m happy to let it take the time to get its strength, but I am curious about getting it to flower too. Im guessing lots of light and more phosphorus?

Oh, interesting. Never heard of calcium carbide. Thanks for the info!
Sure! I think it’s how they used to get them to flower. I think they use gas now.
Thanks for this fascinating info!
Why it’s done
Don’t smoke when you do it
Thanks for those! Very cool. I didn’t know why it worked, so knowing now is pretty neat.
