Default speaking of keikis

Kye,

So that's what is why my Den. kingianum has never bloomed. Will have to
put it outside when temps drop.

Welcome back to the forum. Have not seen your postings for a while.
What has happened with the encyclopedia?

I have a D. kingianum which was badly sunburnt a year and a half ago.

It
has since been growing like wildfire in a 1 gal. pot, and replaced all the
sunburnt leaves, but the problem is that it's growing mostly keikis, with
only 3-4 blooms from time to time. It has had good sun exposure in my GH,
and I use 1/2 strength Schultz orchid fertilizer every other watering.
Any ideas on how I can encourage more profuse bloom?
