"Advice compiled by the RHS ... Non-flowering orchids ... Phalaenopsis... If it has been a while since the plant last flowered, try moving it to a cooler room [how cool ? / how long ?]. Within a few weeks [really ?] new flower spikes should have been initiated and the orchid can be returned to its old spot. ... Cymbidium... Plants in good health that failed to flower may have missed flower bud initiation the previous season. To ensure reliable blooms in future, stand plants outdoors from June to September.
... Odontoglossum... needs shade in summer and good light levels in winter. Feed poor flowering indoor orchids with a proprietary orchid fertiliser."
