At best my most vigorous clone will bloom once every 3 years. My less vigorous clones will bloom about once every 5 or 6 years. Most of my emersonii I have only seen bloom once or twice in the 10 to 15 years I have owned them. I consider them difficult because they are so slow growing.
Good luck.
So the dificulty really is the growth speed of the plants makes it hard to adjust/ and guess which condition really makes the difference.I have had several emersonii for at least 10 or more years. It does not need anything special, but it is so slow that it is difficult to tell when you are doing things right and when you are doing things wrong.
