Why won't my orange pigface flower?

I was given an orange pigface about three or four months ago. It is in a pot and had three flowers on it.



Ever since I've had it, it hasn't flowered since.



It gets full sun.



What do I have to do to get a flower?

Why won't my orange pigface flower?
plant it in the ground and once established stop watering it, they are very drought resistant....be patient, this time next year you want beable to see the plant for the flowers
Reply:They are supposed to flower in early summer - what season is it where you are? The nursery that grew it probably mucked about with the lighting to artificially induce flowering at a time that isn't normal for it.



If you're down here in the Southern Hemisphere, maybe it's not in a warm enough spot. It tolerates drought really well, and can suffer from overwatering. Negect it - it will probably thrive.
