It blooms well for me in plastic 3.25" square "rose pots" of the sort commonly used for cacti and succulents. Also in 20-ounce styrofoam cups, low and wide ceramic dish-type pots, tiny 2" diameter ceramic pots and boxes commonly used to store sweaters during the summer. I suspect it's the amount of winter sun they get here. My plants have no greenish tinge to them at all. Also, it is a late bloomer; mine aren't in bloom yet this year. Leo Martin Phoenix Arizona USA
