Hi bloomingaddiction, Welcome to The Seed Exchange. Actually you can access the link to update your profile, Member Page, or trading list from the Member Pages link found at the bottom of every GW page. I am sure this is the wrong place to aske this question, Actually any questions, and just chatter, is to be posted to the (off Topic) Conversation side of the Seed Exchange. The link to Conversations is found just above the list of threads here on the Discussion Side. Oftentimes GW will move threads that are not trades over to the Conversations side...so if you don't see your thread here, check there (Conversations.) hth. Happy Trading!

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!!

I believe there is a good article on how to get AV's to bloom again in the FAQ section (main forum page, above the threads). What happens with plants that have just been bought, they were fertilized etc to produce maximum bloom for the 'sale window'. Most plants need to recover from that energy expenditure. Using a balanced fertilizer (not a 'bloom booster') you should be able to achieve near constant bloom, though not the same bouquet style as when you bought it. Show plants with lots of blooms have typically been disbudded for months, along with a (tricky) repotting, fertilizing and light schedule, designed to bring the plant to maximum potential. Oftentimes they get chopped up and re-started after a show, rather than being nursed back. Karin
