I have rewarded it by potting it on

If possible (and the space), try refraining from tying in the new shoots too quickly. If possible, either let them hang outwards or train them horizontally for six months or so before tying in. This is supposed to initiate flower peduncles (love that word) to form.

This is an image (not mine) of a peduncle just starting with its second set of flowers. It's not H. carnosa but the same idea.

This is an H. carnosa peduncle that has flowered at least ten times judging by the length of it. Talk about value for money!
