Brassia non bloomers

[W Stender]

I have two Brassia, Rex 'Tahoma and Brassidium Dragon Fly. Both are very healthy and happy plants and bulbs from last years growth are as large or larger than previous years growth. The problem is that they have not bloomed, and I think they should have by now. In fact they have started new growths instead. I grow in a south facing greenhouse with shade cloth and have these next to my cats. Have good humidity, water and fertilizing schedule (1/2 strength every two weeks in winter and stronger during summer. Growing in NW NJ. Any suggestions?

Sorry, I can't help, but I had a Brassidum Fly Away 'Miami' and it won't bloom either. It seems to push itself out of its pot with roots and grow new growths just fine. It is in a greenhouse that gets bright light during winter and we put a shade cloth on in spring and summer as it gets really bright. It is set back in a little less brightly lit area. The leaves are a good med. green and the only thing I can think is that it is kept a little too cool in winter. The temps get close to 55F where it is at nights and to about 65 in day. Those are winter temps. This is supposed to be an easy to grow plant!
