Increase the amount of light they get and consider changing to a different brand of fertilizer and to one that has micronutrients - don't throw away your existing fertilizer but use it on other plants or alternate using it with the new fertilizer). High-nitrogen fertilizers will inhibit flowering in vandas and are not recommended. (Nitrogen (the 1st number in fertilizer) is for growth, phosphorus (2nd number) is for flowers and last number is for overall plant health). Good luck!!

Hello, I taught a whole class on these flowers, it was the mothers at head start years ago; Materials; sharp small scissors cotton fabric-small floral print-or solids white glue tooth pick 10 gage green floral wire-(for stem) thicker if you want cloth wire-comes in colors, contrast it to your fabric plastic lid any size-to put your glue in, (when it is poured into the lid it thickens better) different size bottles of elmer's glue- you use these to wrap your cloth wire around to make the petals for your flowers, finger nail polish bottles for leaves works well. green sticky floral tape 1. choose your choice of flower ( I made 5-6 petal ones) 2. iron your fabric,put some glue into your lid 3. choose what size bottle of glue you want for your petals, I made red satin poinsetta's, with green flat velvet leaves,ex. I used big bottle for my petals, and the smallest glue bottle for little leaves. 4. need staymens- the middle of flowers-you buy these A.wrap the cloth wire around the glue bottle, and twist at end 3 times so secure, leave an inch tail cut off with old sissors, due to it's wire, bend the tail up, make as many petals as you can place out on your fabric, leave little space inbetween them due to you have to cut around them later. B. now you have your petals ready for the glueing, dip your toothpick into your lid of glue, out line the bottom of your leaf and blow a little to help drying, then place it on your fabric, holding it down into place some times it pops up, (be patient)I do all my flower petals first then my other color for my leaves, they should dry in about an hour or so, when the glue is clear they are done. C. cut them out with little sharp sissors, cutting as close as you can to the cloth wire, then take your tooth pick with glue on it and fix the parts that didn't take. D. take your staymen, hold it right up to your main wire(10 gage or better) and your green floral tape and twist and wrap all the way down the wire, then tear off. E. add one petal, wrap the tail with your floral tape tear off, add another peatal, and keep adding till you have as many petals as desired, then wrap the floral tape all the way down the stem again for strength, now add your leaves. These are really fun and fast to make, I have made many, they go great in dried floral arrangements, it is an old craft but still a good one, the ladies I taught this too still make them, good luck

First, what did you do, mail-order these? ER is a dwarf hydrangea macrophylla and makes flowers around mid-late June. If you mail or web-ordered this it should start a baby flower (cluster of "broccoli" at the growing tip) within a month or so, with some sun (not all day) and light fertilizer. If it is a very small cutting that you ordered, it might not flower for a couple of years. Bobo is a different hydrangea altogether (paniculata) and most of those don't put out flowers until the end of July or later, regardless of when you ordered or bought it. As far as flowering goes, it is better to buy big (two-gallon or larger pot) so you can get results sooner, as mail-order cuttings (quart or gallon pots) take much longer to grow in most native climates/soils.

I had five Lady Banks along a fifty foot fence in San Diego some years ago. Really more than was needed for that site, little did I know. It's an easy Rose, and no prickles! Yes, once blooming, but such a spectular sight. And, lovely greenery the remainder of the year. I hope yours comes around now that you have cleared the way. Looking forward to future pics.
