Nice barb. Is the cymbid in the cold room?

Soak it and turn up the heat to 90F...that should do it... 😀
Just the X-mas cactus blooming here...do have an Orchid putting
up a bloom stalk but it is taking its time..

Nope, Jesse, the cymbidium is in the house.
Last year it was in the cold room and didn't bloom at all.
Thanks Jim, but I couldn't handle the 90F 😆
One day to go, so they won't be in bloom...dammit.
Nice that your Xmas cactus is flowering, mine isn't even starting.
They'll all bloom when the company is gone.

Well, they only took another 2 months to bloom 😆 😆
But the wait was worth it.

Thanks Keith.
Label years ago said "white strelitzia", glad it's the regular.
Anybody who can't get these to bloom, with some age, just add 0-40-0 or 0-60-0. in early winter. (follow box directions).
But they won't bloom in a cold winter room, need warmth.
