Vanda tricolor no spikes
Last year I bought this vanda as tricolor species. The plant has been growing great here with me, stretching overall, with new leaves sets, roots, and sprouted a keiki at the base. But I have noticed that there aren´t any old spikes remains at the leaves joints with the main stem. I suppose is blooming size (from tip to tip 24 inches and stem 10 inches). The plant came from another Mexican grower that had it in a temperate climate. Here in hot weather I think is growing fantastic, but why it never has blooming before?
I think I have a good growing schedule. The other vandas are growing well, blooming, but well, species seem that have their own tricks.
I hope this next spring-summer season, with more light hours, it will bloom. I don´t know where, I read that don´t like sea level lands (Mérida is 9 meters above sea level)
Any advice?
By the way I must to say that I really enjoy the plant, I admire its beautiful shape and elegant curves.
Thanks!!!
Mario
