I wanted red dots on a white background and got exactly that, not too bad!
Decent shape and pattern; I'm looking forward to future, improved blooms.
Did you reach a conclusion on whether it needed a cold spell, more, or less light to bloom?

All the plants died, except for the micholitzii, tetraspsis and one javanica alba. You shoud've kept them all
I'll be moving again again again in the coming weeks, maybe I'll restart a Phal collection.

Nope it just bloomed on its own, so I would say that as long as you keep it well fed and it can get sufficient light, it'll do its own thing in due time.

I chatted with a commercial grower about gigantea and the fact that his personal plant was in very shady position, he said his wouldn't bloom reliably but would get massive leaves.
He insisted on the fact that while potted it never initiated a spike, but bloomed after he mounted it on cork and the plant got a bigger root system and was able to anchor itself.
