Thanks everybody for comments.
Pheli, you're right and I should answer something like yes but no but... LOL
High temperature is not a problem for this specie but the specie does its best when it has a cool to cold period during winter. And this cool period is not easy to get in Bangkok. Last winter was ok, with temperature of 15C/59F to 25C/77F during more than a month, it is very very cold For Bangkok. But two years ago during this period, temperatures never went down 20C/68F. If the coerulea that you're growing just arrived from a farm in the highlands, there is good chance that it won't bloom.
From my own experience and I can talk only about central Thailand, there are 2 ways of making bloom this specie with short cool period during winter:
- Some farms around Bangkok and central Thailand are now develloping plants which bloom without cool period.
- I have some plants from the highlands and after years, they adapt and bloom. But I say , years , be patient.
What about in Taiwan with this specie ?
