How large are your Vanda's that you've been able to get to continuously spike? And what are some of the other species that you've had the same success with? I have Oncidium intergenerics, Cattleya's, and some Calanthe with Dendrobium parishii on the way. Are all of these once a year bloomers?

Well my vandas range in size, the smallest being a baby with its first growing spike after an abortion; that one is about half a foot tall. The rest are mature Vandas anywhere from a foot to almost 3 feet. Those are the fast bloomers with 3-6" blooms. I also have floriferous mokara young and older that flower non stop throughout the year. All the vandas I have flower year round for me, and somewhat slow down in the christmas season. I also have ascocendas that flower just as much. The arandas & arachnis they are a bit less but still several times in a year.
The others also grow fast and flower well for me
I have oncidiums, epidendrums, Schomburgkias, cattleyas, Blc, Potinaras, Brass., dendrobiums, broughtonias, and phals as well.
Schomburgkia is definitely once a year as the spike can grow 5' or more, Cattleyas are twice a year, oncidiums once or twice, Potinaras once or twice, Epi's year round, blc. is twice a yr, dendrobiums 3 times, broughtonia is year round, Brass is also year round with the exception of the spider brass, and the phals are year round; afterall, the blooms on the phals last up to 3 months sometimes.
