Gee...I don't understand. There are 28 hours in a day in my greenhouse.
Those 4 extra hours really make it easy to get all the stuff done that I
want to do.

Knowing not to do it is not the problem. Having the time to spend on
"individuals" is.

What works for me is to put a blue tag in the pot to indicate "do not
water". Then I group all the dry stuff together on the same shelf. That
group seems to be growing with the nobiles, catesetums, cycnoches, etc.

I will definitely give it a try, Gene, although I have a hard time
singling-out plants for individual culture.

Ray,

After seeing the pics on abpo I would think it's time for you plant to
have a nice cold winter and dried out. That may be what it takes to
make it bloom.

Rod Venger gave me a seedling many moons ago. It's in a basket, hung
up with the vandas, and growing bigger by the 'bulb (they're at
18"-20" now), but still no flowers.

Not good, not good. I have a couple of flasks worth of plants of Den
speciosum X Den Ira Butler that I was hoping to start seeing flowers
on this winter. They already are the largest plants in my Den
section. Sounds like it might be a few more years; more repotting and
larger pots. My question is just how cold do they need to get to set
spikes. I am growing them in a greenhouse which does not go below 62
F. The kingianum and its hybrids bloom fine in this greenhouse. I
have a couple of flasks of Den speciosum X Den Ivory in 3 inch pots
and am wondering if I should cut and run. There is always room for
one more plant in the compost pile.
