Brassovola nodosa

[Royal]

In nature, B. nodosa gets LOTS of water during active growth, but then endures slight drought conditions.

I grow mine outdoors all summer, then in winter I bring it in an give it a definite rest. Sometimes I'll see the little bloom sheaths forming in late summer - fall. Once I see this I start reducing water and fertilizer. It is in full bloom every December.

Im using 好康多 Hi-Control no1 180 day type fertilizer, solid type look like green bean.

I never altered my N-P-K ratios, just reduced water and fertilizer as a whole. I think a dry rest may do the trick.

1)do i need to reduce the night temp also.?
2)some of my cattleya are using the same fertilizer and they got no problem of blooming.

Eh vinseah.. from GCS are you?

Never bloomed mine, but nodosa doesn't need a great night temp reduction, maybe you can reduce watering and fertilising.

Hi Neverend, yes Im from GCS
what is your nodosa growing condition?
I grow my at my corridor face south,

My night temps do not drop too much because I bring it inside for the winter. The light is decreased when I bring it in, but I don't think it likes the lower light as much.

[Neverend]

I have no choice but to give my 'Little Star' lower light, hence it can't bloom.

Maybe you should try to vary the day/night period by keeping the plant in the dark at night, could be a factor.

after seeking every one advice I change my high N fertilizer to high P, move my plant in to my fridge at night,
the temp set to 18c, holp can see result after few week.
