Photo's are deceiving ..... the plants look HUGE in some pics, but in reality they are smaller than one thinks ...

Hi nim2951. Will post again tomorrow with the info that I use with my Angs and hope to answer your questions.

All my Angs are potted in a mix of medium bark,charcoal,perlite and granite chippings. I water them every week but not if they are still a little damp-- I leave them to dry out completely. Feeding is very sparse and not very often, maybe once every six weeks.The plant now measures 22" across and 18" high from the top of the compost. Hope this answers all of your questions except that in this part of the world we have to give them as much light as possible.
Regards
Ed

Just to simplyfy:-
eburneum x sequipidale = Vietchii
Vietchii x sequipidale = Crestwood

You're correct

Hi again. Mine are in a heated greenhouse and kept very warm and I still go easy on the watering.

I changed the potting mix and I had it in a net pot, now I use a clay pot, I hope is going to respond better norma

What do you need to do to get them to bloom? Do you have to drop the temp or anything? Mine haven't spike yet and I keep moving them around between the window and my lights hoping I get lucky. Where do you have yours temp & light?

I, too, have yet to get my Angraecums to bloom. I'm also curious about your culture and fertilizer. I was using one formulated for Phrags/Paphs/Phals, but changed to a balanced one mid year (20-20-20). Do they need to stay more moist than Phals?
