Here's my Kleinia nerifolia in flower,its a problem plant when you repot it as its top heavy so always starts off upright and over time seems to lean.
I have had this for more than 6 years, it came as a rooted offset from a grower in Cyprus it flowers but doesn't make a lot of growth. it has a scent but not as nice a smell as fockea in flower but better than none.

Re: Kleinia nerifolia in flower
A nice display!
I've had one of these as an unrooted cutting for 2.5 years - no sign of any roots, although it did flower over the winter of 2016/17.
Any clues what is needed to get it to root? AIthough gradually becoming more and more shrivelled, it's still looking healthy and is wanting to sprout its winter leaves at the moment.

Re: Kleinia nerifolia in flower
It's a winter grower, growing in the Canary Islands, so if you are keeping it in a heated greenhouse or above freezing environment, I would suggest you water it a little. Providing you grow it in a very well-drained mix, as that is how it grows naturally, which should encourage rooting.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.

Re: Kleinia nerifolia in flower
I would try heated base, moist cat litter and water now, as Liz stated these are winter growers so now is the time for it to root. Did you keep it dry previously ?.

Re: Kleinia nerifolia in flower
Over the last 2 and a half years, I've tried a few things!
Although I acquired the cutting at Easter, so probably not the best time of year. It seemed to prefer rotting than rooting when I tried it damp with bottom heat then.
I'll give it another go, hopefully it's a bit more desperate and seasonally active now.
