Blooming Neofinetia Falcata

[bklorchids]

I have a Neo falcata 'Shunkyuden' which has flowered 3x in last year under t5s in my office--flowering winter spring and fall, with night temps no less than 65 and daytime max 75-mostly nights are around hi 60s and days are low 70s . This seems the only neo which has prospered
and flowered in my challenging conditions

Can you give us more information on your growing conditions? I'm interested to also know how close you are growing to your T5 lights and also the footcandles. How many bulbs are you using and are the they 2ft or the 4ft bulbs. Are your Neo's potted in sphagnum moss or something else? I'm growing under T5 lights as well and I'm just lucky to have my neo's alive for another year...lol.

It's 6 Inches under 2 two foot t5s.
Not sure of Footcandle measurement.
Using sphagnum in glazed pot.
