I believe that it took some where in the 2 to 3 year range for my first blooms off of the early plants that I got. Over the years the Charles E X Borneo can be difficult to Bloom, I currently have one plant with 5 mature growths and it appears that each of those has multiple new growths on them. Whether or not it will bloom, Well only that Roth knows that.
I grow my Roth’s in a Grow room that I have built in my basement. I maintain about 80 to 85 degree in there and have various lighting schedules that I have found to work for me. I use HID lights, I have 2 400 watt MH and 2 400 watt HPS. I vary the amount of light with the time working in my light cycle, And what type of light they receive as well.
My humidity runs in the 70 to 85% range. For a growing media I have used just about everything out there. Something that I tried before and had good luck with was mixing Crushed lime stone with Fur bark. Its about a 4 to bark to 1 part lime stone. My Roth’s loved that.
Your right that as your collection grows they will take up SPACE and a lot of it. Well as I figure this board out I will try to get so pictures on here.
Best of luck with your Roth’s, And don’t be afraid of the old Cross’s
