Default Miltonia Kismet
Fragrant flowers, hard to define fragrance, but pleasant.
Multi-spiked.
This is in a plastic pot dumped into a sphag-lined clay pot. Keeps the plant cooler.
In a humidity tray, but gets to a low 40%. Dappled sun. Temps around 75f.

Just repotted. It has got so big that I could have split into 3 - but I kept it as 1. There are a lot of new growths ,as well as roots. I have moved it into a cooler room............ hopefully I can get it to rebloom. I have read that people have issues in reblooming.

Good luck with the rebloom, too!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful orchid.

Nine new growths.

I have moved it to a sunnier spot. I can see I am going to have a space problem with this in about 2 years. At least 9 growths this year, same ++ next, and then wham ! A new house may be necessary

so I counted 13 new growths. Interesting thing is that there is also a lot of root growth from these new pbulbs.
Anyone have any tips on how to get these to rebloom ?
Its going outdoors in a few weeks and will stay there until temps drop. Hopefully that treatment will spur spikes. I got this in spike in Aug ( from Wisconsin ) - when temps here ( and there ) are still very high ! So that doesn't make sense........

the foliage has turned yellow on some growths due to all the filtered/some direct sunlight it is getting.
The good news is that there are at least 2 spikes, the bad news is that there are so few. I'm hoping more develop.
It seems like these require a lot of bright light/sun, similar to miltonia spectabilis.
