im pretty new to orchids i have only been serious about them since the beginning of last year and so far this one has flowered twice for me
i grow it directly under a 27w spiral cfl with a little natural light from a north facing window

nice. I have a Laelia Autumnalis that's a little rink-a-dink thing...barely 1 & 1/2 inches tall with just 1 small pseudo bulb. The learning curve is killing me on this thing. How often do you water yours? Should of gotten a more "mature" one.

i water mine about once a week with fertilizer i mist almost every day and have a fan that goes on for a hour twice a day once at 1pm and again at 9pm

yah...I water once a week w/ fertilizer for all my orchids. I see where people talk about watering their orchids every 1-2 days. Everytime I water more than once a week, they turn yellow & die within a week. In fact, I watered twice last week because the air was so dry with the second application being very lite, and the spike on my psycopsis which was getting ready to bloom has turned yellow/brown. Sheesh! Live & learn
