Mine is currently flowering it's head off.  Mine was pot bound, but now it has lots of space, but that doesn't seem to bother it.  I feed during the summer with a general purpose house plant fertiliser or tomato fertiliser and periodically wipe the leaves.  Other than that, I ignore it!  Water when I remember, and I am rewarded with stem after stem of flowers.  I would say mine is in flower for 9 months of the year.  Good value.

Hallo Graceland , my little bit of advice to you is,  that they flower better if pot bound.  Also , be careful not to put it in too fiercely sunny a place as they scorch very easily.   
   However ....if you should accidently  do  just that ( as I have done   ::)  )   it should recover ,although very slowly .      I have a nice soft yellow form which is a hybrid , and the usual coral colour one .    I think you cant beat the  lovely coral orangey one myself .
