I'm gazing at your plant in hopes that mine will do as well. Bought it in bloom in June at our Society Shore Show at Silva Orchids. He has it mounted on cork,a medium that has not worked for me in the past but I'm determined. BTW,fotos are splendid!

But I have a couple of plants that I was specifically instructed to give only distilled water ...but this plant thrives on New York tap water

it is in small sized media of charcoal, bark, lava rock and treefern shards

weekly weakly Algoflash alternated with seaweed mix...just this warm months....in winter it gets lesser of fertilizer and water

Bud, how much light do you give it? Beautiful flowers. I have 1 but it shows no sign of buds.

Thank You !

If you have the chance to put it outdoors before the cold weather arrives=the humidity and warmth in the atmosphere of your grow zone will be of great help. Just put it indoors 2 weeks before the frost comes. Put a bowl of water under it if it is indoors to help with moisture. Better yet hang it inside a large glass jar with a bit of water if the cork would fit. Once it blooms it will continue to flower for you if you follow the culture religiously.

Be patient....your plant will bloom soon, give it time....if you gave it south facing window light or better yet if you gave it bright shaded light under a tree outside your house this warm months=feed it weekly and water it when you notice the roots to be light silver gray. In your zone 5a, make sure it has warmth in winter or invest in a electric plant warmer. Read about Angraecum culture and try to provide it in your environment.

Thanks Bud...It's been outside since I got it in June. When I bring it in,it will be on humidity trays with friends and off to the side of grow lights. If this culture needs adjustment,tell me. I read ad nauseum about my chids but sometimes less is more!
