Wilsonara Tiger Brew not blooming

[the.joy.of.orchids]

Hi!

I purchased a blooming Wilsonara Tiger Brew from an orchid show about two years ago. Since then, it has been absolutely thriving... plenty of roots, leaves even bigger than before, and two new juicy pseudobulbs (one for each year). However, neither of these BEAUTIFUL pseudobulbs produced a spike! Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? The plants seems to be thriving in all regards, but just doesn't seem to want to bloom.

Many thanks,

Liva

A picture would be helpful. Are the new pbulbs mature? How much light does it get?

Mine is in an East/southwindow (although it has flowered In a north window with Phals). It is almost continually blooming. The extra light makes the leaves look crappy so it was a prettier plant with less sun. I water once a week and fertilize weekly, weakly.

Are the leaves light green or dark green? Those growths should be mature enough to bloom and the plant basically sounds good. My guess is that it isn't getting enough light. Insufficient light is one of the- if not THE- most common reasons for mature healthy plants not blooming. Your plant is of a type that usually likes it fairly bright, and the leaves should be light apple green.

Just an update on the Tiger Brew... clearly, I was just being impatient! Even though the orchid DID miss a year of blooming, now it has blooms more stunning than ever before. What a vigorous grower!

Stunning!
