When leaves are that long it's hard for water to get to the pot/roots so it is in a saucer.

I do keep it watered.

How long will it flower??

I think I'm going to cut the leaves back from the bottom so I can see the soil, and maybe the extra light at the soil line will help it offset. That else can I try???

After some careful leaf removable with my sawzall.
