I have about 5 Orchids, mostly about 3 years old, and one baby off a mother.

Only the one with the baby has flowered in all this time, except when I bought then all, in flower.

How do I get them to flower again ?

Any advice is welcome,
on this Subject only ?

Hi, I know that sometimes they can stop flowering. It's frustrating.
How are you watering them?
What type of wood are they potted in?
Are they where the temp is fairly constant?

They get a tot of water twice a week in summer, and now in winter once a week.
They r all bought in Ceramic pots, and just the baby I have put in a small ceramic pot too.
They r in my study and bedroom, very stable.

My mother grew and sold orchids, she often had people complaining that they only flowered once, the reason is that this flower kind of hibernates, usually it wakes after around 9 months, but sometimes they need waking up, she always suggested, moving the plant to a cooler environment and using very cold water when watering, only water no more than once a week.
Hope this helps, you need patience with orchids.

With plants, animals and kids my patience has no bounds !

Thanx for the advice.
