The temperature range of most psychopsis is average 80F (27C), and nights average 62-64F (17-18C), with a diurnal range of 16-18F. Where are you growing it...inside or outside? You may need to move it inside if it's getting up to the 90's regularly. I grew a couple outside here, and they stopped blooming at around 90F and were really suffering when it got to 100+. Then of course had slowed down blooming in fall when I had to bring them inside.

I didn't move them outside one year and kept to a south window in my AC'd sunroom, and they bloomed like crazy. The only downside to that is you have to keep really good humidity for them, but the temp is worth more than the less humidity inside blooming-wise, in my opinion.

Thank you WaterWitch for the information. I'm going to repot a few plants and see how they fare. I keep them outside facing east, if it gets to hot outside, this is South Florida, I will bring them inside. I replied to your private message, unfortunately I must not have sent it correctly, I got an error message. If you could explain to me how to send or reply to a private message I would appreciate your help. Waiting for your reply, Zelvan P.S. In my reply to your private message to me I decided to keep the Zelvan as a user name. Thank you again.

Easiest way to send a PM is go up to my name on my last post to you. Click on my name, second line down click on "send a private message to..." It will pop up a PM message screen. Type in a title, then type body of your message in the big box. Then go to bottom and below the box click on the "send message" button.

See if that works for you. If you're getting an error message still, tell me what it says and I'll see if I can do anything. PMs are something I don't have a lot of control over and can't view anyone's PMs in the administrator mode.

Or you can also select the "send an email to..." if that isn't working for you. Note that it will reveal your email address to me, but as an admin I can see it anyway. So when emailing someone else, note that it will still reveal your email address to the person you've chosen to email. That's why some folks primarily use the board's PM function unless they have set up an email account specifically for the purpose in their profile.

WaterWitchin; Thank you for your advice, I'm of the opinion that the high temperature of this past summer is the problem. I have my plants outside facing east, I will try repotting one or two plants to see if that helps. If that doesn't help, I'll try bringing them inside.

I received your PM message, I will keep Zelvan with my new password as my username to keep things simple.
Thank you for the instructions on how to send PM's, I will try again. Zelvan
