Can only tell you to have patience-lots of patience!......I have a plant from seed for the last 3 years and no flower yet - but yesterday a friend sent me some pics of hers which flowered for the first time in 10 years.

Wow! Where do you keep them - do you have to keep them in a greenhouse the year round?

I have two at the moment, one is roughly a year old, and the other is about 7. Both still have no flowers just yet.

The back of my house is south facing so its sitting in the sun for the majority of the day. Inside of course.
