Blooming multiple Odontoglossum spikes simultaneously
I have an Odontoglossum cristatellum that has bloomed pretty reliably spring and fall for me for the last few years. It generally puts out multiple spikes, 1-2 per growth. It currently has 10 spikes with two blooming, and others still forming. I’d love to figure out how to get all of the spikes to bloom at the same time, is there any tricks I’m missing here? The plant is objectively well grown, and is what I would class as a small specimen, nearly filling an 8” basket. I grow it in the SW corner of my sun room, it is in an 8” mesh basket in sphagnum, that sits inside of an outer terra cotta pot, I don’t think light is a problem, fertilizer is K-lite at a target of 25PPM N on each watering, monthly kelpak and probiotic preceded by a fresh water flush.
