Lisa,
I bought a very young one about 3 years ago that had never bloomed. Last
year I got my first bloom and now it has a rather large spike getting ready to
bloom. It has grown about 3 times the size it was when I first got it. As Mike
stated, it does grow like a weed but the blooms are beautiful. I have had mine
in my east window. I water once a week, fertilize every other week and cut
back on the fertilizing in the winter to once every 4-5 weeks. I've repotted
it once in medium bark, perlite, charcoal and a tad of finely chopped sphag.
Good air movement (ventilation) seems to really help it's growth.
