I wasn't part of the contest either. My 1st one bloomed itself to death. It was still quite small, and I didn't have the experience yet to change the culture after the 1st bloom. My most recent 1 is on its 3 bloom, there is a 4th "bud" starting, but I'll discourage the plant from blooming until the new leaf is further along. Once this bloom is starting to fade, I snip it off, and move the plant to a slightly cooler location and reduce water somewhat. When I see the new "bud" (it's a triangular bump really) plump up I'll move it back to higher light levels. The humidity is never under 60-70%, and difference between night and day temps. about 5-7 degrees C. Hope this helps.
