I have a log of chids I want and pointers on growting them so here you go...To enjoy a really strong flower spike, you should start warscewiczii growing early January or February. This can be achieved by giving it full sun and teasing it with misting on sunny days, this is also once the growing point breaks and begins to grow. The leaves should be yellow-green and will need a lot of moving air to keep the leaves from getting warm. The catt should require less water until the new growth is at least 4 inches tall. To much water to early seems to retard and not stimulate good flowering. When the growth gets taller, increase the amount of water but let it dry out between waterings, allowing the old pseudo to remain plump but the time the new leaf emerges. For fine tall spiked flowers do not allow the plant to get too warm as the buds emerge from the sheath; otherwise this will cause a curve and spread the flowers horizontally rather than the norm of vertical flowers. Once the buds emerge move it from the out area to a cool porch until the spike is open. They need a long rest after blooming, if you want a good flowering the following year.
