    Default Cryptocoryne help.

    Anyone know how to make Cryptocorynes flower?
    I've got these in my vivarium for humidity control, and to keep their roots nice and wet.




    They look happy, but no inflorescense yet.

    Thanks guys and gals.
    Actually its an Arum, Araceae family. Like Anthuriums, Peace lillys, etc....
    Thats my other favorite type of plant to have.
    And yes, I will keep it forever and ever so long as it looks so lush!

    My experience with Anthuriums has been that they like periodic bright light to set bloom. I drag mine out of the house into bright light and when I take them back in 1 1/2-2 weeks later and they set bud. Could be just luck though.
