the spike came after you received the plant, so you must take all the credit for its blooming into a magnificent deisplay(its a special gift to make an orchid bloom= its never an accident)....others might have killed the plant a couple of days in their home....
I lost my citrata from when I gave a party in my apartment before xmas and one of my 30 guests must have absconded with seven of my minis; and I know a couple of kleptos among them....its so tacky because they really dont know how to care for orchids; its just the mere thrill I guess....

Aw - thanks
I haven't detected a fragrance
It did take a few days before I realized I should probably check it at night, but even then - nada
I'll keep checking tho ...
Dang that's brutal someone stole your plants
Especially someone that was invited into your home! I have some orchids out front of my house (gets good morning light there) - and worry, especially when the Cyms are blooming, someone might steal them - nothing valuable, but just the "wow factor" of bigger Cyms with multiple spikes - and then figuring if someone stole them, they'd likely just trash them after they finished blooming
So far, hasn't happened *knocks wood*.

Sorry, Bud, to hear some of your orchids were stolen. Hope you were able to replace them all. That is just terrible!  |
Aw - thanks
Sorry your's didn't fare well
IOSPE indicates these as cool to hot growing, but I don't know how accurate that may be (Andy's has them as cool to warm growing) - mine's been inside, no A/C, but still cooler inside than out during heat spells - usually maxes out mid, sometimes upper 80s, and then with the climate here, always much cooler at night, so never hot 24/7 ...
I will say the "cool to warm" on the tag is why I grabbed this when I saw it - seems most Aerangis really don't like to be cool at all, and as such, might not be too happy with me (heat is set pretty low in winter, especially at night)
