My max ten has become a veritable BUSH, grown a ton of new pseudobulbs over the last 2-3 years but I have never been able to induce blooms. What’s your secret?!?

#### Becca replied on 2025-03-08

I think the secret is lots of sunlight. my max rewards me with flowers every spring

I keep mines under a grow light for 8 hours a day, it has been very happy with more light. My room does get a bit cooler in the winter, I’m not sure if the temperature shift aids in the blooming for this species though 🤔

Thanks- I just added a grow light like 5 months ago, it’s on for 12 hours, so maybe that will be the key.

You know what I like to say when it come to adding more grow lights, the electric bill may suffer but my mental health does not. Happy plants=Happy life

Very pretty! I love the smell of coconut. I will have to get one of these.
