19 Coch. discolor
Lovely plant! I bought one of these in Spring last year but so far have failed to get it to flower - although it is only now that it is of similar size to the plant shown. I have tried to keep it warm in plenty of light, cool in the shade, a mix of both and now it lives in the bathroom where it is cool with relatively high humidity... but still no sign of flowers - although it throws out plenty of new leaves. What should I do? Peter Cliff (UK) In message , Wendy7 writes My next best choice. [ A MIME image / jpeg part was included here. ] |

Thank you Peter & welcome.
I would say a little more light (1500ft candles) the entire day. A little breeze & not sure if special bloom booster fertilizer would help? Sounds like you have a good spot for her.

Hi Wendy Thanks for that. Over the past few weeks I have been treating 'her' to Growmore Bloom so hope that will give a boost! Everything else in my collection seems to flower quite freely ( I only have about 45 plants scattered around the house - but did take a First in the Novice section at my local Orchid Society Show for a lovely Dend 'Polar Storm'). Having a West-facing conservatory where there is a mix of light values has helped enormously and wondered about moving the plant there but was worried it may become too hot in summer. Keep it in light shade etc etc. Thanks for the photos. Peter |

Your place sounds wonderful Peter, I would love to have a conservatory.
Would love to see some photos of yours. Congrats on the 1st place! Got a pic? Yes keeping it cool in the summer would be tough. What are your high temps where you are?
