My grandmother told me that many plants will bloom more if you "stress" them a little -- they think it may be their last chance to reproduce, etc. Try keeping it in the dark for a few days, or a slightly colder environment? YMMV. Disclaimer: most of my plants die. Slow, lingering deaths.:greenface

I have a lovely lava plant that has not only kept it's bloom, it is growing new ones!!! I NEVER water with tap water...the chemical treatments kill the plant so I only use filtered or bottled water...

my understanding of lava plants is that we don't need to fertilize them...the lava rock contains ALL the minerals a plant needs for life! It can grow larger and larger without roots, because roots only grow as they look for nutrients!
