I find it interesting that some people report multiple plants blooming regularly every blooming season without fail. That's never been my experience though it would be nice. Epies take three plus years to become blooming size from cuttings. Yes, sometimes you might get a bloom from a cutting the next season after planting. It happens, but isn't the rule and will only weaken your planting. Plants may begin blooming many years after establishing themselves and bloom irregularly or bloom every blooming season. Plants may rarely or never bloom, which might be normal for them. Point is, enjoy the plant as a plant and count the bloom as an extra. Many hybrids are slow to bloom or bloom only rarely--but are truly unusual and beautiful houseplants worthy of your admiration.

Your plants are both beautiful and healthy. It's obvious that you are doing plenty right! I have found it very hard to identify Noids by their bloom in that many look so much alike and are often in the same family. If very unusual, it can be done more accurately but please be careful and be sure of your Id's if you plan to trade etc. However, I don't know your level of involvement and you most likely know this already. Enjoy your plants friend.
