to answer Estacion seca, I have a 2' long x 5' tall tent in my bathroom that has a 300w LED fixture. This is where my Phrag Fritz schomburg is. I have a 4' long x 6' tall tent in my kitchen that has a 450w LED fixture. I have my vandas and cattleyas here and several mounted orchids. I have a humidifier and a fan running at all times as well.
The Phrag. on display at the show had a beautiful coral tone with a nice size and I just couldn't pass it up and I'm glad that the one I have is very close if not similar to the one that was on display. The flowers on mine have a 3 1/2" diameter in size but the pouch has a dent on each size and I'm not sure if that is normal or not. I only fertilized twice within the year while the growth was developing and the original growth died when the new growth was developing. My theory is that it was taking all the energy and nutrients from the original plant. Hopefully it will clump on the next growths and have a stronger and much vigorous plant.

You should fertilize more. In the greenhouse we apply a light dose every 2 weeks, except for Nov/Feb, where we only fertilize once a month.
