I just grow it mounted like I described and grow under intermediate
condition all year. I use even water and fertilizer regimens and about 30 %
shade in summer, 0-20% shade in winter.

Wowee! Now Gary, I am still convinced you have a special secret.
I have one in the greenhouse & killed two outside. Andy told me to grow
them outside.
There are a couple of new tipped roots but thats it.

Your orchid bloom rate is tremendous to say the least.
Good growing to you.
Cheers Wendy

This plant is a mount with coconut fiber on cedar shingle (about 9 x 12
inches). The stem that has floers fully opened and bloomed before. The
one just opening is the first time. There is a third stem higher up
that's just beginning to send out a bloom stem. Great!
