Mine seems seasonal. And the bloom only lasts a few days. This one is gone already. My other spikes all dried up.

A very happy Dracula lotax!

I got one bloom at least! Most of the others dry out and never make it for some reason. One is better than none!

I used to be a Phal killer. I now grow them fine. The key is to use CLEAR pots so you can see the roots. If they're gray, water. If they're green, don't water.

I use clear pots. They help me looks at the roots to tell whether or not I should water. They changed me from a Phal killer to a phal grower!

Ficus are very temperamental about being moved. They HATE it! They will lose a lot of leaves but regrow new ones. Keep it out of drafts ad let the soil dry out a bit between waterings. Bright light.

Dracula cordobae!

I got this plant earlier in the year and it threw out 4 spikes, 2 aborted but one bloomed and another kind of stalled. I'm thrilled I flowered it!

Nice! I got a cordobae earlier this year, it's putting out a few spikes right now! A few blasted. Humidity is 70%. It's growing leaves so it must be doing o.k. Tried masdevallias again and failed.

Since I collect rain water for my carnivorous plants I also use it on my orchids and other house plants. Rainwater is the best source, nearly zero total dissolved solids. Usually 2ppm.

My 2 phals usually spike in late fall/winter. I have a mini spiking now and a 'Golden Embers' that hasn't started yet. Cooler night, longer nights seem to initiate spiking.
