Catpaworchids said: If you remember Ursula, try these few nobile hints.
Heavier doses of fertilizer once the new growth starts. You could try an old pantyhose bag hung from the lower parts of the pseudobulbs of each plant. Any slow release fertilizer will work. You could try that for 4 months essentially from May through August.
Then later this fall when they come back inside, they will be pumped up with more fertilizer. They set buds during the cooler nights of Fall. Perhaps make them one of the last orchids that you bring inside?
This comes from a guy in the Fort Myers area, not exactly a cool location. He felt the keys to flower production were lots of summer fertilizer, with hold water in the fall a bit, and fall nights a bit cooler.


I apologize for my ignorance in this, but would this method work for any orchid at all?
for You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings I will sing for joy.
Psalm 63:7
