I love it!
I would like to know your growing conditions - light, temp, watering. I have one of these and when it spikes it always blasts so I am sure I am doing something wrong with it!

Hello and thanks to everyone,tucker it is a little fragrant but nothing strong,fishmommy I grow mine in the greenhouse and temperatures during the summer time are no hotter then 82F and during the winter nights are 55F.I water it every other day and it is hung above my cattleya's so it gets a lot of light and air,fertilize it once a week with a weak solution of 20-20-20.This is my first bloom and when I saw sheets coming out,I stoped spray it and started to water with a bottle so water wouldn't stay on them and always watered in the morning so it would dry out in the evening.How do you grow yours?

Very nice, I have one also ! The name's been changed twice since I got it, go figure !

I grow mine under lights....I was giving it catt light but it started bleaching, so I lowered it down to high phal light and we'll see how it goes. I soak daily (it's mounted)
Temp stays under 80F
Maybe the plant just isn't big enough yet - it has spiked a couple of times but the spikes have fallen off each time.
