Gorgeous Yuet!  My Grandads flowered a few years ago, alas mine has never.  You must be doing it very right indeed!

You are obviously going to get lots of money in 2007 Y-L so don't forget the lottery ticket!

Wow - I've an enormous one of those at work but it's never shown signs of flowering! It just greens up the office and scares visitors :)

How long have you had it, and what conditions do you keep it in? Mine's in pretty uniform 22C with ambient light and hardly any humidity (office is full of server computers therefore has aircon).

absolutely stunning.

I have one that is huge and over 9 years old, produced lots of other plants from it but never any flowers! ???

I believe I have heard somewhere though that to enable to flower you have to let them become pot bound, don't know how true that is though.

trina,
I'm not too sure about that you've mention 'let them become pot bound, don't know how true that is though' because they're in a very large pot! And its been there long long time!

How amazing. I have never seen a money plant in flower before. In fact I didn't even know they flowered! You live and learn.
