I've had this epidendrum for several years (lost the label, don't know the
name) it was in bloom when purchased with small redish flowers. It has
never
bloomed since.

It seems I have tried every variable. I have split it apart and growing
some
in different locations, some with more sun than others. Varying amounts
of
water, etc.

We're going on 6 years now with no bloom. What's the secret? Anybody got
any
ideas?
