I guess I meant drop in temps like the OP. I am sstill learning the lingo around here and made a mistake. Sorry!

Vandas - I grow all my vandas without a drop in temps (indoors under lights) and have not had a problem reblooming. My experience so far indicates that a failure to bloom is usually a result of not enough light with vandas.
Some vandas bloom only once a year.
Someone here posted a Garnet Beauty recently - you might ask in that thread as well for specific advice :-)

No worries. The reason these distinctions are made is because the orchids themselves behave in such a specific manner that is often times very unique. It's often difficult to describe things because at the moment I'm not sure if there are any words or vocabulary to describe the concepts easily and concisely. Everyone learns and everyone makes some kind of mistake in some form or another and to some degree or another, but it doesn't matter unless there's learning happening.

I saw that one!
But it grows in Florida, most likely outside. Our conditions would be quite different...
What kind of light do you use?
I have it on window with south-east exposure that recieves morning sun, maybe it is still not enough. I have half-open blinds there to give some protection from direct sun, maybe I should remove it?
I also have large two-storey window that has direct sun from the morning until about 2:00 pm. It burns all the houseplants except adeniums. Would such sun be harmfull to vanda?
Thanks
