Reminder to Den. aggregatum (lindleyi or jenkinsii) growers
It's about time to stop watering your plants (if you're in the northern
hemisphere, that is)...cold turkey. If they happen to get a bit of mist from watering the plants nearby, so be it, but unless your agg is allowed to dry out seriously, it won't flower this spring. Even if there is new growth just starting, be merciless! Don't resume watering until you see a bunch of new spikes emerging. Your plant will look like heck by this time, but the flowers will be worth it. Also, try to put your plants in as bright a spot as possible (but watch out for sunburn on the bases of the pseudobulbs) and reasonably cool (I stick mine close to a window here in north Florida, so it'll get a bit of a chill on frosty nights).
