Cryptocoryne Wendtii ‘Mi Oya’ Spathe Update 1

The spathe on my Cryptocoryne Wendtii ‘Mi Oya’ is finally what looks to be fully developed, so hopefully the spathe will open fairly soon. I have yet to fully understand what it takes to make Cryptocoryne’s flower but if I took an educated guess at it based on my research I would say it has to do with the amount of time the plant itself sits in the pot & the lighting duration. I normally keep my lights on for 12 hours a day but once I cut it back to 9 hours a day the plant begun to produce a spathe; this plant has also been in the same pot for just under a year now without being moved/transferred.
