I just didn't not realize that miltoniopsis were so difficult to many of you. I am releived to know that I am not the only one
This orchid do not have scent but it has an impressive bloom. I like the miltoniopsis because of thier impressive bloom. The flowers are big too. But they are tricky. I bought another one 2 months ago because I thought the 1st one will not bloom again this year and could not wait that long.
Martine, me too I dont hear this expression anymore( not many french speaking around me). I only hear it in my head when I look that orchid .
Solay, I am adpoting your solution too. Now everytime I visit a different part of england, I check if there is an orchids nursery around.
Sandra, I think the main problem was the watering more than anything else. I should have another spike. But it dried off and then I had this 2d spike one month later which gave the 4 flowers. Maybe I should have given some fertiliser for bloom. But I am still learning on the fertiliser. Next year, I will try to give some fertiliser for bloom 2 or 3 months before the bloom is due. I should see if I get better result.

Have a good day and good growing
