After intiating her first and second keiki she still spiked but with less frequency. Her largest keiki has grown large enough to bloom, but like mom, has aborted 4 mini spikes. Rainfall has been scarce this year so I've been supplementing by hand watering 2 or 3 times a day. I suspect this large vanda will overcome her slump with longer sessions of drenching rainfall.
Again, I'd like to thank you. It was not my intention to hijack your thread, only to compare notes with another grower of large mature vandas.
Would still love to see photos of your plant in bloom.  |
Malakody, Just beautiful!
I'm interested in determining if leaving kekis on does hinder flower production? I'm wondering if bumping up a fertilizer regime is needed?
I've left the kekis in place on several large Vandas. While I get blooms, it makes me wonder if I would have more blooms if the were removed?
