I was very lucky that the flower was not forming yet and it grew back and flowered several months later. I think it would help to have some air circulation in enclosed heated spaces.
I am using non-LED but the small bulbs, which don't seem to put out much heat. They are right on the stem, I guess I will have to closely watch.
