Aerengis luteoalba var. rhodosticta

I've had this plant about 14 months and this is it's first blooming in my care. The plant seems to like it warm and doesn't grow much in winter when it is exposed to intermediate temps.

Beautiful, healthy plant. You should see mine. It looks like its about to hit the bucket. Can you please expand on how you are growing it?

[Chris1140]

I take it to the sink and thoroughly drench it every 3-4 days. It is potted in medium bark in a small plastic pot. I fertilize weekly/weakly. It gets light from a shaded west window supplemented by fluorescent grow lights. I grow it intermediate in winter and warm in summer. Hope this helps.

Mine is mounted. I do not know how to change to a pot which I think would be better for it. Any advice on how to do this?

I do it all the time - buy plants on mounts, and know they will languish for me . So I put the whole mount in a pot, and add compost around it. Of course it is sometimes possible to remove the plant from the mount - a rally good soak in warm water for an hour will soften the roots and loosen their grip on the bark or whatever ; and in other cases I cut as much of the mount away as possible, without actually cutting into the plant.
If the mount is wood , it usually rots in time , and you need to scrape away the rotten part whenever you can ; but pieces of cork, and some hard tree fern, used as mounts, seem to last for ever.
