We are on March 5th, 2016. More than three months have elapsed since the purchase of the plant whose blooming lasted approximately one month. It would have been shorter if the plant had been placed in a hotter location.
The fine weather returns and I'm going to proceed to the repotting of the plant. Let us reconsider a photo taken on the day of the purchase.
This photograph of the base of the plant shows that it comes from three different stems which were planted too close to each other. (The pot has a 8cm only diameter.)
The plant was cultivated in quite sterile peat, ideal for the rooting but unfavorable for the long-term cultivation.
