Hi, well the forum is telling me to post , get friendly, etc..
I have a Colmanra wildcat "golden red star" that I purchased from the orchid nursery in my area back in May. And of course it has bloomed out. I cut back the spike. I also transplanted it because it just came in this tiny little pot.
So my question is how do I get it to bloom again. I was told with my cym that I needed to put it outside til the temp drops and it sends a spike. Which makes since to me for the time of year it was in bloom. But... I am not sure what to do with the colm wildcat. How do I get it to bloom in the spring?
Sorry I am pretty new to this, and have never really gotten into raising orchids, well because... they never seem to rebloom. So, that is where I am now, determed to get these guys to rebloom!!!!

And as long as I am here, one more question. What about sudden temp changes? It has been really warm ( and dry) here for the last few weeks but today it decided to be over cast and cool ( like about 30degree difference) Should I be concerned and bring in the cym that I have outside? Or just let them enjoy the break from the heat like the rest of us?
Thanks for any help.......Tami
