Paphiopedilum Charlesworthii not flowering

[bobloes]

Hi All,

I have had a successful year following advice received here so thanks for that. My major non success is with this Paph. It is better than it was and has put on a couple of new leaves in the last year, I have had it almost three years. But not a hint of a flower. I feed it every two weeks and water it every week during the hot season. Lots of light but no direct sunlight. It has remained inside the whole time.

I think I read somewhere to put it out in the summer - in shade and all night? Temperatures almost always in double figures. Stress it with no water? Yes you guessed it I was a hard parent!!! Any more knowledgeable suggestions?

Thanks Bob
