Bellina X Violacea help needed!
I am getting a bit frustrated with this plant! It is Phal. violacea "Tequila Sunrise" X Phal. Bellina from Hausermann orchids. I have heard that Phals of this type can be difficult to flower... mine looks so healthy but I fear another summer will go by without any blooms. Is there something I can do to trigger flowering for this type of plant? I don't know if providing cool night periods is the answer because it is such a warm-growing plant. It is fertilized regularly and I have been bloom-boosting all summer. This will be the 3rd year I have had it, and I do believe it should be blooming size by now... the root system is very extensive and the leaves look great! What should I do??????
