Here is the beast, under T5 lights. We can see only one bud, but there are 2 other spikes. If you look carefully you can see a taller one behind. That spike has 2 bud. We cannot see the smaller one in the picture.

Can't wait! :drool: I can see an improvement in the second flowering, so it will be interesting to see how the third flowering turns out. Would be nice to have more than one flower on a stem at once, too! And with three spikes - WOW!!!:drool:

Too hot!?!
I don't think so....This is not a bud blast... There is a flower, but it not a good one! The pouch is distorted. There is only one lateral petal.
I always monitor temperature at the buds level (with my hands). I pay attention to avoid to put the bud right under the bulb. This is what I have done for the first flowers; the same for many other plants.

Thank you Michel and Eric.
Well... should I water every day now instead of every 2 or 3 days? The plant does not sit in water since november. I think the weather it too cold for that... (max 21 C, min 12 C). Do you think it can be safe to pour water in the saucer in such a cool weather?

Check the roots -- they'll tell you what is wrong.
Dot: I checked this morning. It was difficult to pull out the plant from the pot.
The root system is very strong and vigorous. I didn't see any dead root in the mix, but I took care not to disturb the plant when I depoted it.
