Hi, thank you both for the reply! I've had this den for a few years, and have kept it outside during the summer/fall when the weather was appropriate, and as cold as I dare leave it. During the winter months I do keep it in the window sill, I could try placing it closer to the glass to help drop the temp down a bit. I tried this summer, and last, to induce blooming by having it outside into the colder fall temps, but both times my poor den decided it would rather be dormant in July instead of growing, and growing in November instead of blooming! I'm sure if I can just get the poor thing sorted out with the seasons, I might be able to achieve blooms. Trial and error it definitely is! I'm not ready to give up on dens just yet

speaking of other varieties, I love latourias! I have my eye on a roy tokunaga den that I just love! still need to do some more reading up before purchasing though.
