Yeah but it's a 7 year old plant that's flowering for the third year for you. pout! ha ha!! I've had mine for 3 years this fall, and he was at least 1 1/2-2 years old when I got him. I assume, by his size. I did put him in the imperial oncidium mix from repotme so in doing so I might have pushed him into yet another waiting period for blooms. But this mix will last him a long while I think. I have him in the mix, and in a dish with rocks that I fill with my water (rain/snow sometimes just distilled) when he gets dryish in the bottom I water. I sometimes spritz him a bit with the spray bottle too. I went two months of only feeding him 2 times a month instead of weekly weakly. I have a lovely new leaf and another leaf coming in in the last month and a half. Lots of roots. So he's happy, just not happy enough to throw up a spike for me.
