A 24" pot for any Etlingera is rather small. If the plant looks healthy
it should still bloom at some point. Even some of the smaller deciduous
gingers need to be established for a few years before blooming. The large
evergreens take some time as well to get a large enough clump to bloom.

10b? I’ve been dragging a 24” pot inside the house every winter, and
although the plant is healthy, I’m not seeing any sign of flowering. I’m
starting to wonder if this is crazy, and I’m deluding myself that it will
flower for me someday? Stalks are 6-7 feet, and I fertilize with a
15-15-15 time-release every three to four months or so. It’s outside most
of the year, and I bring it in as soon as our night temps get anywhere near
55f. We keep the house around 70f day and night from late October til
around early April, and then it goes back outside when the nights warm up.
