Well, I spoke too quickly. The Aliceara just spiked! (photo). It is exactly a year since I purchased so it must be an annual bloom. Also, the Mormodes which I purchased a couple months ago has a spike. (Pic included). To answer Q's, light is 1500-3500 fc mostly in the middle but lots of upper range in the am hours. Temp variation: Well I used to keep the G/H cool (75 F.) and saw the error of my ways in July and let the temp go to upper 80's. I believe that has been a problem. I also removed Aluminet which, while rated at 50%, was cutting light to ~1500-2000 fc (G/H is under an oak tree, so gets shade for free anyways).
What should I do while tending these early growths?
Also, Mormodes needs to go dormant soon. Will that effect it's flowering? Same question for my only Dendrobium. It has new growth but will go dormant soon. Is that typical just before wintering? Thanks.
