bloom again..
Have you given it a cool down period in the fall? Usually I try to give my phals at least 2 weeks of temps in the low 50's in the fall and then have better success at reblooming. mojomick

Can I do this with just a fan? I would have to move them all otherwise, somewhere else. Not an easy thing to do!  |

I have all my orchids outside in the summer so just leave them out in Sept. so they have a gradual cool down and then they will go into my new greenhouse which should be done by mid SEpt. I find that most of my phals won't bloom until they have that nighttime colling. Don't know why they are so fussy. Mojo
