Thank you thank you.
I hope that helps you get some blooms. But there is nothing simple about plants and orchid growing so it may be just one of a number of things that could be causing lack of blooms. I think some of my Cattleyas like a cool winter rest, and others need a variation between day and night temperatures. But we may as well tip the scales in our favour wherever we can so trying a balanced fertilizer some of the time might do that. Good luck and post pics of blooms
