I realised that after i brought this plant from trinidad to california, it wasn't doing anything till it got colder, then it started to make new bulbs and i think i will get about 5 flowers!

Alright, I'm showing my tenufiolia x sanguinea this picture... perhaps it will get it's act together!

What type of conditions do you have it in?

Let's see i have mine growing in coconut husk chips in a clear plastic pot. I keep it moist and it gets the same amount of light as my catts, which is bright direct light.

I feed with MSU and KLN or ST once a week
