Clicking 'Reply' should work. Also I read the same update on that thread so it DID work. Not sure what's going wrong at your end.
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question. I keep mine on a window ledge when growing and move them to the mantle piece in the same room when flowering. I move them when the first flower opens, but then I've ended up with twisted flowers before so it might be the wrong time.
