After growing it 4 years, now it's blooming. I guess because the tuber is small and young, the flowers are very small and few. 2 years ago, a friend told me that it needs to be dry rest in winter to flower well in spring, but I didn't try the method. Living in warm area, the weather isn't cool enough in winter, so formerly I kept water when the plant was with a leaf even in winter. About October last year, its only leaf was yellow-dry suddenly, I stopped watering it, waited next new leaf, but it didn't grow. Then placing the plant to where without water and beight light, I didn't pay attention to it until last week. That's really a suprise when seeing it flower bud, so soon I placed it out for bright light, and it blooms after 5 days.
There is another species called Sinn. sp. "Pancas" similar to Sinn. helioana. Young seedings of both species are with many opposite leaves, but when growing a period of time, those seedings re-grow a stem with one leaf from tubers, and old stem including opposite leaves is dry completely. I culture Sinn. sp. "Pancas" just one years, and guess it might also take 4 or more years to see it's flowers lol.
