Getting a Phal to bloom in Caribbean

[dimshane]

Hi

I'm doing exceedingly well with dendrobiums, but phalaenopsis are giving me a challenge. Mostly, they look very healthy, but won't produce flower spikes. I have been reading a lot about how temperature affects blooming. I live in the Caribbean. My temperature hardly ever falls below 25C in the middle of winter. Is all hope lost for my phals?

I am currently trying a little experiment by leaving one phal in an air conditioned office, by the window. Around 22/23C Maybe that will encourage blooming?

Attached is an example of one of the phals.

Maybe I should stick to dendrobiums only 😕.

Any advice (particularly from those in hot climates)appreciated!
