It's nice to hear that some pings have scented flowers. Personally, I'd
settle for just seeing the flowers! What can I do (if anything) to
encourage my pings to flower? I'm growing P. esseriana, hirtiflora, and
'Sethos' x gypsicola. They're growing in a peat/sand mix (about half/half
or slightly heavier on the peat) and under flourescent lights. I have
baggies over the pots to raise the humidity, but they're on loosely, not
held with rubber bands or anything. Also, anything I can do to encourange
them (especially the Mexican ones) to produce plantlets?
