The only leptotes I have is from this project, so very unfamiliar with them. The bohonkyitis... it blooms in the summer? Not even gonna try to pretend I can spell that

Where do you keep this and how much light is it getting? I still have nothing but leaves after two years. I have gradually moved mine in with my blooming cattleyas. |

I'm stumped. I have followed the IOSPE recommendations for culture as close as possible and I get new growth but no blooms. I have increased light gradually to near cattleya levels with no change. This is year three with this plant. It lives, but other than taking up space (admittedly, very little) it is doing nothing. Does anyone have any ideas? Most everything else in my space is either getting bigger rapidly or blooming at least annually. I don't get it. Any advice will be much appreciated.

Out of the five or six member projects I've participated in, this is the only time I have successfully bloomed a project plant. Let alone not killed it. Mine just hangs there on a stick, under a light, auto-misted three times a day, and I do nothing else with it. It has a bunch of buds just coming on. Hopefully someone else has an idea or two.
