The photo Orchid Kid posted of three cuttings in a clay pot is too small to flower for most Epis. The larger plant is big enough to flower for most Epis.

Thanks, that's good to know that they bloom when they reach a certain size. I have not really been fertilizing much other than watering them my aquarium waste water. Even though it's winter, they are putting on new growth right now.

Thanks but as you can see (see attached pics) I don't have space for any more. I actually have two, one I know is a white flower, the other is a mystery because it was a garbage rescue. It was at the point of death and I believe that is the one that is currently growing for me.
