Spring flowers

[lily99]

Most of my orchids seem to bloom in spring and summer. These are Blc Hsinying Catherine 'Hakucho,' a white paph hybrid, Dendrobium Lori's Star and P Lueddemaniana.

Lovely flowers....thanks for posting....I am always glad to see other members bloom their orchids

Dendr Lori's Star is a very easy to grow plant. It grows next to my cattleyas under a 400 watt high intensity discharge light and gets watered once a week. I let it dry between waterings. I try to fertilize it once a week. It does not need a cool rest.

Same as me -ecept i have T5 Lights plus Eastern Facing Window.I too Fertilize every Week for 3 Weeks-then one Week plain water.No cool rest---
Maybe it is a one Bloom Plant

I think it's most likely that your den isn't getting enough light. T5 I don't think is anywhere near High Intensity that she uses on her plants.

Plus, tall plants like dendrobiums do not receive even light, only the top portion.

Do you have other dendrobiums under the same setting but blooms well? If so, then yours might be a one bloom plant.

I have a Den Pittero Gold that's doing the same thing-one Bloom-but the 2 Noids beside them doing great-tons of Flowers,
