5. Just checked, and mine is definitely trying to make some new flowers on the existing stalk

and it looks like she MIGHT be making another stalk (coming out above one of the "nodes' on the existing stem-- if that's even possible... time will tell.)

I'm guessing that her broken pot banished her to the discount rack shortly after she arrived in the store and perhaps that's why she's still blooming. She appears to have plenty of life left in her.

After further research, I am using the ice-cube method to water-- one ice cube, twice a week (based on her size.)

I've got some fish emulsion, so will use that to fertilize when the time comes.
