jeelii, You know something. I just saw the lite!!lol. I never had a problem getting mine to flower. Not even a cutting within a few months. Why even the greenhouse I bought them at was impressed. In fact I think you would get great results to, in the beginning! Know what I did. When I repotted them, my old way of doing things, I amended soiless mix with worm compost" worm castings, and fed them at every watering with fish fertilizer. I think this was the trick, but then a curse!! Great mix and fertilizer in the beginning,pushed big blooms and lots of growth, then bang...DIED. I think the same combination eventually was the death of the plants. I think all the castings and fish eventually caused the soil to breakdown and compact, which in turn killed and suffocated the roots.:-(. One of the worst plants for root rot problems! Wow ha. Maybe next time, I will leave the castings out and try just fish with Als well draining soil recipe!!....HUM....

Hello: I had one for 5 years until mine did just as Robert described and mine was in a great fast draining mix and given a perfect environment. It flowered faithfully every year several times a year with lots of sunlight and temps over the 65 degree mark at night. This plant tends to get wilt badly sometimes cause the entire plant to shed. If one is not careful, it is easily susceptible to root rot during this stage. They are also easily susceptible to root rot during the winter months when they naturally want to go into rest mode when days are short and temps cooler. Mine has even been known to shed all its leaves and stay bare until the spring when the hot sun returns. I can tell you that Logees themselves told me they are very difficult to grow, even for them. In my opinion, they are the hardest plant to keep happy and the hardest to grow. If it is not one thing, it's another. What ultimately killed it was Botritis! If you want a plant much easier to care for looking for just about the same fragrance, think about getting yourself a 'Brunsfelsia', Lady Of The Night' from Logees. This plant will not disappoint you. Good luck Mike

Don't forget to add BRUNFELSIA right next to No# 1, next to Bouvardia! The best thing about Brunfelsia is that it is much more hardier than the Bouvardia. Great job with this list considering I am well on my way to having them all:-) Mike
