Blooming Complex orchids

[tperry]

I'm a newbie to complex. Live in Arizonia.

All are at my office, on humidity trays, and have a plant light on them for 12 hours. Temp never over 74 degrees.

Read an article that they need a drop of 55 to bloom. And are difficult to bloom? Is this true?

Any help will be appreciated!!!

DO you mean complex paphs? Or other types of orchids?

.... if you mean complex paphs, then the answer is YES & NO. I think it can't hurt but it may depend on what species they go back to. If the crosses are made up of cool growers then YES they probably will need a temp drop. Is there any temp variance were they are grown?
