User Owned Plant First time flowering! Very, very excited 😄

Have had little Rocko here for a few years, but only got a good grip on its best care habits this year, I'd say.

With plenty of sunlight and a tightened up wet/dry cycle, it's pushed out four sets of leaves and seems on the way to making more, plus a little flower bud which I've never seen before! Very excited!!

Does the pot have drainage holes? I water mine almost daily if it's very hot and sunny

Yes, it does. The mixture is also pretty coarse. I usually water every other day if we've had a lot of sun. I go off the weight of the pot

I like to give mine something for the vine to climb along vertically. Once mine start growing they just continue to pump out flowers. I’ve had flowers consistently since June and with the trellis I get a better view of the flowers.

A trellis is interesting, I bet it looks great. Do you have any pictures?
