How do I get it to bloom?

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

A few years ago I purchased a beautiful chartreuse colocasia named Nancy's Revenge on-line from a place in Hawaii (I have since lost the link for them). This plant gets morning sun (sunrise to about noon) and good bright light the rest of the day. Everything I have read about this plant references its "buttery yellow variegation genetically triggered by blooming". My plant is 5 or 6 years old and has never bloomed. What do I need to do to coax it along?

Thanks, Jean

Give it more sunlight. My taro flowers regularly and is in full sun.

Thank you Dave, I will move it this fall. Unfortunately, the information that came with it said bright indirect light/morning sun. That works for my black magic which is huge and happy in morning sun, but I will certainly give Nancy a new home.

Thanks, Jean
