It was sold as blooming size and it has an old flower spike, so it's bloomed before. If it is a winter bloomer, that makes sense. It's been growing well, just seems to be missing the "motivation" to throw a spike, and maybe that's when temps drop a bit more.

Regarding the video, I'll take a look, but most of what I've seen so far says that it's either not enough light or not feeding enough, but it's currently getting so much light that it's getting a bit of anthrocyanin on the leaves and I feed it fairly heavily and it's growing a lot. That said, I'll definitely watch and see if there's a good suggestion in there.

No no no... You have to watch the whole video, you cannot watch the first 2 minutes and come to that conclusion.

You are absolutely correct that I do not believe for you it is a light or a fertilizing issue (if anything it sounds like you are fertilizing a lot)

So you have to watch the whole video and you will notice she says if you are fertilizng enough and you are providing enough light then it could be.....


That is the bit I wanted you to watch. I looked up what other people reckon to this question and I could provide you with 10 guides that will all have their different theories.

Most of them rubbish. This video is very good because it actually emphasises the most important thing is that your vanda is mature enough and has enough roots to support flowering.

If you watch the whole video you will get a much better understanding of what an immature orchid looks like and she rightly says that even the best orchid grower would take 3 years to get it to flower

You are aking this question after 3 months. So watch the video. Then ask away.
