I have oodles of AV's-big and small--as I am a compulsive propagator.

My bigger AV,s have not bloomed in at least 2 years.
In the winter--they sit on a long shelf by my LR window and may get
a bit too cold. The light is med.-low--with some sun.

Right now--all my AV babie's are sitting under my light set-up,
The bigger ones are on the shelf that gets good light.
None of them are blooming.....
I use the MG AV fertilizer occasionally.
Is there a magic potion that will zap them into bloom????

here's my babies...they all are healthy plants...and the :nursery"
I have good success growing from leaves this way. I use a 2lb, grape container.
Both tops and bottoms are perforated.
