It’s all related to the production and storage of phytochemical reserves.

Ray, thank you for your answer and link. I read the article, very interesting. Actually I think I've read every single article you have on your site. They are a tremendous help and have helped me change my growing habits for the better. I have a very small but varied collection of orchids(25+-) in a condo, all bought as young non-flowering plants (too expensive for me otherwise). I think the environment for my plants is pretty good as they are growing and blooming regularly and getting bigger each cycle. As others have mentioned Kelpak and K-Lite are not available in Canada so Cdn growers do a lot of experimentation and help each other out a lot with our home science experiments. So, saying the two variables are pretty decent, my question is: rough ballpark figure, how long will a juvenile Vanda coelestis take to bloom?
