I purchased this plant 3 years ago. It had what was likely it's first flower spike. Although it grew generally, this is the first year it bloomed for me. I believe it's new winter care did the trick. Out of frustration I treated it like my Aussie dendrobiums. Temperature drops into the low 50's and high 40's and reduce water. The result was 8 spikes with 4-6 flowers a piece.
