Hi Chantell! Fingers and toes crossed for you too. Just make sure they have plenty of filtered light, water, and some fertilizer, and you should see blooms:-)

Laura, I can't remember if they bloom on new leaves or old ones or both, but I wouldn't trim until you have to -- i.e., the leaves get rust or look diseased or something. I only trim when the leaves start to look bad. I would definitely repot those and stake the tall shoots that are flopping over. You won't lose blooms by repotting. Most of mine are in huge containers by now. I think the first bloom for Epi oxy is usually around the end of June or the beginning of July.

Here is a rare shot of blooms that haven't faded by the morning light. I think this shot was at about 9:00 a.m. on a gray and foggy morning. The sun just started to come out when this picture was taken.
