Pot. (I lost the tag somehow, just noticed it)

I rescued a Pot. about 3 or 4 years ago from Lowes. I had to split the plant and one of them didn't make it. As you can see it likes laying on it's side! No matter what I do it ends up that way. My question is this; I am sure it's old enough to bloom, its in a NE window which gets morning sun for about an hour. I have it in medium bark. It is in a pot which is small since someone told me they like to be root bound. The color of the Pot. is light green. I live in a very dry climate so it has to be watered 2 X a week. I mist it thoroughly when I water it. It gets fed 2 X a month. Does anyone who is successful with these have any advice which may help me out a little? I live in Denver and we have strong sun here and sun almost every day of the year, even Vanda's have to be shielded from the sun behind a sheer curtain.

Thank you for any help and advice you can give me.

It is always hard to say why a specific hybrid won't flower, the plant seems large enough, the color of the leaves is a nice light green, so that usually means it gets enough light, as you mentioned.

I don't now for sure, but it could be the day and night temperatures are to close together? I noticed with some of my plants that they need a sufficiënt temperature drop at night to keep then happy! Maybe that is some how connected with the forming of the flowerbuds? In summer i try to get the temperature to drop at least 8-10 C*, if i can. In wintertime it's a little bit less.

I'm not a big fan a staking an entire plant with sticks and string, but this fellow is a little to flat on his back, so maybe a few sticks would so it some good?

Hope this helps a little, and good luck! Otherwise you could also try to scare it into flowering by putting the orchid next to the garbage bin... 😁😁😁

I generally try increasing light for any non-bloomers ...
