Encouraging Rebloom on Beallara Orchids

Encouraging Rebloom on Beallara Orchids

Beallara (a Miltonia × Brassia × Cochlioda × Odontoglossum hybrid) is generally a reliable bloomer, but it requires specific cues: shorter days and cooler nights.

Triggering Flower Spikes

• Photoperiod: Limit light to 12 hours per day. Cover the plant with an opaque cloth or box from evening to morning if artificial lights extend the day.
• Night temperature: 60–65°F (15–18°C). Daytime can be warmer.

Current Conditions

Your west‑facing slider provides good light for Phalaenopsis and Cattleya, but Beallara needs the seasonal shift. Implement the two changes above, and you should see spikes within a few months.
