This plant came to me with no roots in 2014 and I had soaked it in seaweed fertilizer every two weeks then. I was expecting a spike last summer but it does not like the dry summer heat in my area. It grew nicely but it did not blossom. This winter I had set up a mini greenhouse with a 450W LED lights. I keep my Vandas and Cattleyas in here and some phals underneath it. I also have a humidifier inside the tent that keeps humidity at atleast 60%. After just two months, it put out a spike and I was all over the moon when I saw that half inch of spike growing out! It looks to be a pretty old plant somewhere between 8-10 years old. lost some leaves along the way and this is it's first flowering. Flowers are a bit reflexed for some reason. Maybe next time it will be flatter but nonetheless I am pleased with the color and overall look of the flower. Enjoy!
