Prosthechea cochleata: it is not going to flower, is it?:_(

[TER]

Hello,

I'm quite new to orchids, and although I have managed to rebloom phalaenopsis, paphiopedilums and dendrobiums, it's my first time with this plant.

I was happy, it spent all summer on my balcony, has grown a beautiful pseudobulb, even has new growth coming, but suddenly the sheath turned yellow and withered. So, I'm guessing something went wrong and no flowers this year. Or is this normal?

What can you tell me? Any ideas appreciated.

You never know. But I wouldn't let that plant dry out as much as you have.

It shouldn't be a problem at all, Prosthechea cochleata oftentimes blooms on dry sheaths, so I wouldn't worry too much. If it's growing well, then I think it will flower pretty soon. They sort of flower randomly throughout the year. Sometimes they'll flower in early spring, but usually I think they are heavier on blooms from summer - fall

Ok, thank you, I'll stay hopeful
