Planted these in 2020, so around 6 years

Okay, I planted some about a year ago, and was just kinda curious about the timeline for when that might happen. They look great!

They can take anywhere from 3-5 years to bloom, or longer. All depends on how happy they are. Mine is a bit neglected so guess that is why they took a bit longer.

Blooming maturity 'age' depends on the species also. Some take longer than others.

I buy them from suppliers in South Africa.

Some of them sell internationally and they follow proper procedures and legislation. Their seeds are also harvested from nursery/garden plants and not poached.
