Majcka, what conditions are you growing it in? They like heat and a lot of light, but not a ton of direct sun. They also like being watered pretty regularly in the growing season, more than most cacti. Do you get hot summers? If so I would think you would get blooms in August or September.

It has all conditions you mentioned Saxicola. Hot and lots of light in the GH. Not direct sun. It grows very fine....but no flowers - yet. If so as you said, I'll wait for another month. Thank you for the info. :)
