Vandas won't bloom

| We have moved vandas around the yard and still can't find the spot to make them bloom. In morning sun, they turn yellow. In shady areas, they take on a rich green but won't bloom. We are at sea level on the Kona side of the Big Island near the ocean. Winter temps 68/82, summer 78/87. All are mounted on palms or other trees. We have two Vascostylis Viboon Velvet Perfection. One blooms in dappled shade, the other one does not. None of the other 10 or so show any signs of blooms.
Any ideas? |

Hi
have had similar problems with mine and I always thought it was because of winter lol. Those that do the best are in full sun with lots of water and fed every two weeks. They always look like they're getting burned but flower regularly.. I have strap leaf and teretes as well as hybrids . Almost invaribly if an orchid grows well but doesn't flower it needs more sun.
This year those in the yard attached to trees did better than those in the shadehouse in spite of the cold. Go figure!! gary |
