Getting Vanda tessellata to bloom
I need some help, guys. I have a V. tessellata that, although quite happy to grow taller and produce what seems like a billion new roots every year, is stubbornly refusing to bloom. The plant is approximately 2 feet tall (approximately 61 cm) and very healthy. It gets lots of direct morning sun, followed by very bright conditions for the remainder of the day. I water it every day, and it gets small amounts of fertilizer every couple of days (for convenience, I have it growing in a clay pot, but there's nothing actually in the pot except for a mass of roots).
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'm certainly placing the blame on me rather than on the plant. Any suggestions to help get the plant to bloom (short of threatening it with a food processor) will be much appreciated. Thanks!
Steve
