I never realized den kingianum needs such a high intensity of light. Thank you all so much for your suggestions, helped me a lot. I almost gave up on it.
If you can replicate our growing conditions here in Victoria, Australia your kingianum will excel.

Outdoors all year round - we have hot dry summers and cold but not snowy winters.

Mine lives outdoors all year round and receives direct late afternoon sun, lots of water during growing season

In one growing season the p.bulbs should double or triple depending on the size of the plant. Good luck

I wish it was easy to replicate growing conditions in Australia here in pacific northwest. But it rains most of the time and just for 2-3 months we get moderate sunny days. Winters temperatures go below freezing. So its not possible to grow it outdoors. The only thing that I can control somewhat is with the light and temperatures upto 70F.

Hmmm, consider placing them out during those 2-3 months of sunny days to establish good canes and allow the temperature develop some spikes?

Yes I did have it out during the summer july - sep. That probably could also have contributed to the 2 new pseudobulbs that I see growing. Now I have it indoor under very bright grow lights as well.
