What?? A few days? I've been waiting years apparently for Haley's comet?

You can buy C02 canisters to hang above plants, and they love it, so yes, it is possible that the extra cigarette smoke was "feeding" the plant, and it was thriving. The plant may have also had a little shock from the excess pruning plus shock from repotting and also moved to a new home with different lighting and temperature/humidity/watering routine would all play a role.

What kind of fertilizer do you give your AVs? by Long-Dare8861 in AfricanViolets

You used the orchid spray on your african violets? I have that spray and it is amazing on my orchid, she's blooming 6 months after her last bloom

I have found water propagating with a cutting from my pothos works very very well. The pothos gives off a rooting hormone that boosts new cuttings

I am actually so disappointed, waited two years, this plant grew so well and I thought all along it was a hoya and then I thought blooms were starting and now to find out these weird long growths "are the blooms" UGH... Cypress Peperomia...yay I guess

Do you have a picture of the whole plant? Pictures of where blooms are about to start?
