Pleurothallis Stricta bloom question

[farley101]

I purchased one of these last fall at the MN Orchid Society's "garage sale" lol.

It has been growing really well since I got it. Probably put up 8-10 new growths in my care. I have not seen any hints that it looking to bloom at all. I've looked for info on this one and supposedly it blooms a few times a year.

I'm guessing it comes down to culture at this point. I had it in a warm and bright greenhouse all winter. I removed it at some point as the new growths were turning red under the lights. I was told phal conditions would be fine but seems like it needs much less light and cooler temps?

It's in sphag, it's in the house so gets mid 70s to lower 80s temps. I moved it to the lowest shelf of indoor plants that doesn't have lights so it gets indirect bright light from the windows and whatever filters through from above.

Would like to dial in this plant and get it to bloom, even once! Any thoughts appreciated!

Bump.

They bloom when they're happy. Too much light and heat can inhibit flowering, but if it's growing well, it should eventually flower. Are you sure the tag matches the plant?

Yep pretty sure it's the right plant, there's a few places that sell them and they look the same as in the pics.

I'll keep an eye on it, I may have set it back a little growing too warm and bright. Hopefully I can find the Goldilocks point!
