Watering them leaves-down every week or 10 days for an hour or so, good light. They only bloom once in their lifetime, but that is a little misleading since they also put out "pups"--offshoots that will grow and bloom themselves. They can be separated from the parent plant. So it seems like mine bloom every spring, but it's not the same part of the plant blooming. I don't separate them unless the parent plant actually dies.
