How does one bloom this sucker? A few months ago I moved it out into more
sun, with the Vandas. Leaf color is appropriate, roots are incredible, over
all a very sturdy plant. It's in a CHC mix and is growing 2 pups. Big
plant; was originally a pup from a larger specimen (that was a couple of
years ago).

I want a flower, not a salad! What more does it need?

Oh, yes: I forgot to mention that I'd had it growing in lower light,
because that's what the culture seemed to call for. It was awfully green,
so I moved it out. It's growing even faster than before.

My experience is that it should be in good catt light, the color should be
medium green with a greyish overcast. I grow it in a large clay pot with
chunks of charcoal, bark and cork none less than 2" diameter for a 2 1/2'
tall plant. Appropriate downsizing for smaller plants is in order but light,
water and fertilizer seem to be equivalent.

Angcm. sesquipedale: The Star of Bethleem. Bloomed last year for Jan. 06 to
guide the Magi. Will bloom again this year at about the same time. I grow it
in the shade, quite cool, and humid in a basket.

Shade where? Shade in Alaska and shade in Florida are two different things,
for example!

Alrighty, then! We've got grow it bright and grow it shady. But, hey if
it's working for each of you then it must be right for your conditions. I'm
in Florida, and the folks I know here who successfully grow this plant all
grow the way I do: outside under screening.

Thanks for the tips. Maybe the cool nights we are currently experiencing
will give it an incentive to spike.
