Default How to get Coelogyne Cristata to bloom

Hi all, I've had a Coelogyne Cristata for about 3 years, it's a good size and healthy. It has probably 4 or 5 new growths on at the moment but I am yet to get any blooms on it. I have Coelogyne massangeana and Coelogyne flaccida, both of which have bloomed the last two years. Do I have to do something different for Cristata?

Here are a couple of pics of my Coelogyne Cristata and the count of the new growths is 8 not 4 or 5

Coel flaccida and massangeana are more intermediate growers. Cristata is definitely a cooler grower though - it could be the lack of winter temperature drops.

I agree with Calvin, C. cristata needs a cold and dryer winter. After the new psb have matured, try to reduce watering and keep it cold (up 5 degrees celcius) for 2 to 3 months.
Here is a link to a culture sheet from the Bakers website: Cool-Growing Coelogyne Culture
