Default Angraecum eburneum

Interestingly, I had sprayed the heck out of two plants both in wood slat
baskets. Yes the had
the dreaded Mealies! I took them out of the greenhouse to treat them & when
I put them
back I hung them down low under the bench level, much lower light & this is
the best they
have bloomed for me?
They get the same treatment as all the other children. Intermediate
conditions, water twice a week
in summer, 1/4 strength GroMor with a flush every so often.

Beautiful, Wendy. What do you do with yours? We have a huge one, but it is
a sporadic bloomer. Actually, it wouldn't bloom at all until I moved it
out to the Vanda area a few years ago. Then it came out with multiple
spikes, just gorgeous. But for the last two years, nothing but big new
growths.

I have read that they don't like to be repotted until they've bloomed.
This one really needed it, so we gave it a new pot/media right after the
big bloom. I wonder if these are so recalcitrant that they just hate
having their roots disturbed.
