ANSWER Last week two people answered the

This week, we received two more unique methods.
Thanks to Mary Ann Reich who writes that her mother
in law told her to put it outside during the summer
months and in the fall it would bloom beautifully. She
tried this and so did her sister. It works everytimei she
writes.
Thanks to Bonnie Fogelman, Milton, who said that
hers didn’t bloom until a friend told her to use Peters
household plant food. She began using it a short time
and it bloomed and has been blooming ever since.
She also tried Miracle Grow, which works. Her plants

% to 1 cup of water with the mixture. Now they are
blooming on her patio. In the winter, she sets them in
her bow window where the sun rises in the morning.
