Utricularia reniformis

A gorgeous tropical terrestrial bladderwort that  still hasn't flowered for me :(
Picture
Which one was on the windowsill and which one was in the terrarium?
I received my reniformis from Predatory Plants, although I am not sure which year. I have yet to see flowers, despite growing it in the same conditions as my Nepenthes. Although it has spread prolifically underground and even escaped its pot several times, I have yet to observe flowers!

In an effort to dial in its ideal growing conditions, I divided my reniformis into two during the last re-pot and placed one division in the warm intermediate greenhouse and one in the south-facing windowsill. The one on the windowsill was far more vigorous and had a nicer green tone to its leaves. I moved both divisions to the windowsill and eagerly await its flowers... perhaps after a dry winter "rest"!
Current Growing Conditions: South-Facing Living Room Window
Light: ~260 - 460 PPFD or 16530 - 20110 Lux (depends on the weather outside)
Humidity: ~80% night and 55% day
Temperature: ~68F night and 90F day (depends on weather outside)
Water: Keep moist but not wet
Potting Mix: 100% long-fibered sphagnum

Fertilizer: MaxSea (1/4 tsp/gallon) once a month as foliar spray
Additional Notes: Still waiting for flowers! Let dry out more when growth dies down with shortening photoperiod.
