Aerides multiflora
I have had this for years but this is the first year that all the new babies have grown enough to bloom. For the last couple of years it has bloomed for me twice a year.

So beautiful!
How so you care for this orchid? i soak mine daily for about 10 minutes and fertilize it once a week. I try to keep the humidity above 50%
So far this year no spikes.

This time of year I need to water each day, I use a hand wand and water several times allowing the water to drain off before watering again, I am looking for a dark green color on the roots and don't stop watering until I do. As far as the location I have them hanging in a tree in my back yard, this time of year the sun crosses east-west directly above and the limbs in the tree protect them from getting direct sunlight so they get bright defused light most of the day, this orchid is in the darkest area under the tree. I don't have to worry about humidity as living in South Florida we have plenty. I fertilize with different types of natural insecticides every week.
