I have a scaphosepalum- any advice on getting it to bloom?
Which one is giving you trouble?
Usually if you grow the orchid right, Scaphosepalum spp. will bloom on their own without any tricks. They're pretty straightforward like this.
Many of them are intermediate growing. Some can grow in moderately bright indirect light. Others can grow as bright as Cattleyas. It all depends on what you've got.
