Remove the Keiki's? Perhaps it's putting all it's energy into making

babies
instead of flowering?

Just guessing,

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?
