Stanhopea Nigroviolacea No Blooms
We have had this plant for over 2 years now and she grows like crazy and gets over 3000 foot candles of light under 50 percent shade cloth, quality filtered water, regular fertilizing less when cooler days come.
The one problem with her is why she does not bloom, she was a mature plant from a very good orchid nursery, she has had good care she is in an open ceder slat basket, she has roots fresh and alive.
We just got our first greenhouse and she seems like she is doing fine in there, same light but better temps and more humidity. Maybe she will bloom this year.
Anybody got any ideas why she may not bloom?
Prior to the greenhouse she was outdoors all the time with other Stanhopeas and assorted orchids that do fine.
Thanks Gary
