Question Beallara

I have had a Beallara for some time now - approx 3 years but am having great diifficulty in getting it to reflower. It is in intermediate conditions in a conservatory which is heated in Winter. I have not allowed the plant to rest completely but have given it enough water to stop the bulbs from shrivelling. I am in the UK. Can anyone help please.

I also have a Beallara, and it blooms like clockwork every year. It gets cared for the same way all year long (no winter rest!), with a bit less water in the winter only because that time of year is a bit cooler, and all the orchids need less. Also gets fertilizer year round. Most important for blooming these guys is light. They will take direct sun in the morning quite well, otherwise bright indirect light in the afternoon is good too.

Thanks Camille. I will move it to a lighter spot and see if that helps.
