This is my second topic and im not quite sure what to write but here goes: I have a Swiss Cheese Plant which is about 4", I know thats its knowhere near flowering or fruiting size but i was wondering if possible how to jumpstart this process. I know that you can force flowering on plants such as the pineapple plant by putting it in a dark bag with a rotten apple for a week or so. I am not sure but i think this stops growth in the leaves by realesing an elethane gas (dont ask me how or why im only 13 :p)
and focuses on producing the flower and eventually the fruit. Will this method work with my cheese plant, under the same principles? Does the monstera flower resemble an arum? I have also heard that you need the Swiss Cheese Plant in a hothouse in near perfect conditions to have even a chance of flowering, is this true?
As im intrested in plants and i live near the eden project i regularly go there, i asked if they knew anything but they didnt XD.
All information is greatly appreciated
