I'm considering purchasing this plant. Is it easy/difficult to grow & bloom? Any special culture requirements? Thx. Sheila :-)

Anyone growing this? I love the flower and I'm considering buying one. Is it easy to grow & bloom? Regular catt culture? Thx. sheila :-)

Sheila, both those plants will do very well with regular Catt culture: strong light, direct sun very early mornings and late, late afternoons, with media / roots allowed to dry slightly between waterings. Both are easy to grow and bloom provided you give them the light they require. Have fun!
I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong. I do finally have two of these alive and growing, but they won't give me spikes. Any suggestions? Thx. Sheila
Assuming they're healthy plants and not just on the verge, I would say more light is needed, again. 90% of time, when orchids don't rebloom and the plant is growing well otherwise, not enough light is the culprit. Sweet Sugar is a reliable bloomer, not fussy at all. Try putting them in a brighter location (no direct sun, certainly not at first) and see what happens!
