We got ours about 15 months ago and it arrived mounted on cork bark with a moss ball around the roots. There were 6 bare canes and 2 new shoots. There were 2 keikis on the bare canes. I took the keikis and mounted one just as the parent had been mounted and gave the other away. We got blooms on the 2 new canes that had grown to about 24 inches but only on the bottom half of the canes. The blooms were 3 to 4 inches in diameter and smelled just like raspberries and there were over 2 dozen of them. We have a GH and the plants are hanging and the parent again has 2 canes about 30 inches long and the keiki has one cane about 30 inches long. We water every other day all year and spritz fertilizer on the root mass (20-10-20 urea free) 3 or 4 times a week. We change to Bloom Booster formula through the Fall and stop fertilizing in December until they bloom. The plants are doing really well and we're anxiously awaiting their blooming in March. Hope this helps.
