Question Onc. Twinkle question

Hi all
I have a question about my Onc. Misake Twinkle Obry 'Only You' that I got a year ago.
my plant has been in spike since september, and it seems to be taking FOREVER to actually come into bloom. It has six spikes and should be covered in blooms at some point, but the waiting is becoming painful!
Do I need to offer it more light or something?
Thanks for any input!

I've heard they can take a LONG time to get to it. There was a thread discussing it.

Yup - this one is just super slow. Spikes take a long time to form. Buds take a long time to develop and then take even longer to plump up and open.

It's a waiting game.

I will say that they last a long time once they're blooming. Mine has been in bloom since November, and is only just now digressing.

That's great to know that they bloom for a good time, since they take their jolly sweet time getting there!

Thanks
