Miltonia

[estación seca]

Mine's doing the same thing, also from Andy's, probably obtained the same time at the bare-root sale. Did you notice how yellow it was when it arrived? Everything I've read says it needs to get that much light to bloom. Anybody with experience care to comment on this?

Mine is on a cedar board in my sun room and gets 4-5 hours of direct sun through a window daily. It remains yellow.

I got one off Ebay that was extremely yellow. Still growing so I am not sure about blooming light. I also got one in bloom from a Michigan Greenhouse that is more green. According to Carter and Holmes they need less light. From their site:
Light conditions for Miltonias are similar to those for Phalaenopsis or Paphiopedilums – bright but indirect light. Direct sun will burn the thin leaves.
