Yes, it is hard in a warm climate to get the phals to bloom and there where you live Tog I can imagine how hard it is Its hard here too, Florida doesn't have the cold they want either except between about October, when it drops from lows of 75-78 at night to 55-75 at night through March/April. All my phals start blooming about now and will bloom over the winter.

Just remember, though...no orchid will bloom well if it isn;t getting the light it needs, so be certain yours in getting enough. Especially if you plan to feed it heavily.

Phals are cheap here too, about $10 at all the box stores.
