Thank you, Kye. That's what Wilford Neptune told me in a separate
e-mail.

Subject: speaking of keikis

This plant needs to get (VERY) cold to flower well...

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?
