I have had this plant only for about 4 or 5 months now. I grow it with my other vandas, though I have it at a slightly lower light level - about 1800fc

It came potted and I immediately converted it to bareroot and it seems to really like the change.

I soak it in pure water for about a half hour once a day.

It seems to have a scent all the time, and it's a light floral fragrance which at times seems sweet and at other times almost citrus.

Do you have other vandas that do bloom? I am no expert on this plant but with most vandaceous it seems a lack of flowering usually means either not enough light, too little water, or if potted it could be root rot. How big is your root system and are they healthy? Are you potted in medium or is it bareroot? How many leaves does it have - is it blooming size yet?

Thanks for your reply. I have Ascocendas (miniatum & a Princess Mikasa) which flower regularly. These I grow bare root in a vase as the Coelestis... I too water every day (1/2 hr like you) - Light wise I moved it to a window getting more light (next to my Ascos) a month ago.. here's a quick pic..
