I grow mine in a chunky mix of Orchid Bark and potting soil and during the summer growing season I fertilize with a bloom booster orchid fertilizer. The buds will begin turning upwards before opening. This photo was taken August 23rd at 9 O'clock in the morning. By 10:30 that night the blooms were completely opened. |
