Default Maxillaria uncata

This little guy has bloomed a couple of times for me since I got it from Andy's in February but this time there are three blooms!!! (I'll take the little victories anywhere I can get them )

Awesome! I have a much smaller uncata, since February too, and while it grows like wild fire, always putting out more foliage, he hasn't bloomed for me yet.

Am curious about the growing conditions you're providing for him...

It's in my vivarium, 80 to 95% humidity, 70 to 80 degree temps, constant air movement, gets lightly misted daily (w/RO) and fertilized about every other day with 13-3-15 cal mag for RO water and sits about 10 inches below my T5 fixture.

It's been gorwing like crazy the past couple of weeks!

Thanks, irphrog! Yours gets more feed than mine, but I've never thought much about increasing fertilizing for him b/c he's such a good and constant grower. Perhaps it's the humidity ...

That could be it...maybe the lighting?....I wanted to clarify that when I "water" the plants in my viv, I don't remove any of them, I just add the fertilizer and KLN to the mister (it's acutally a misting canister I bought at HD).
