Got all excited last year when I thought I'd got buds coming, a kindly person told me they were aerial roots  ;D

Spotted the real ones this year!

Cheers Amazin, am chuffed I got them to survive another year without over/under watering and feeding. Kept them in the east back bedroom over the winter and brought into the west facing bedroom in May for the summer - hey presto!

Wow they look great.

Mines produced plantlets on the flowering stem after i cut it back hoping for more flowers! Still looks like i'm getting more plants instead.
