Hi Leslie! Do you think that blooming is affected when plant leaves are stunted? My charlesworthii alba has 20 stunted growths and night temps go to 58 deg.

Maybe a photo can tell if your plant is stunted? What is the LS? A plant with 20 growths sounds like a well-grown specimen and it should have started to bloom(a long time ago) even if it got stunted a little. My plant came from a good grower this past June in bud and the LS is about 7-8"(measureed tip to tip of a set of leaves). Hopefully, Leslie will measure the LS of his plant...
I was told this variety of charlesworthii can bloom multiple times a year if it is well-grown. I am excited to see mine in sheath now again...

Maybe flowers are smaller on stunted growths, though not always. Depends how stress they are?!

My plants can range from 20 cm to 50 cm tip to tip.

That is a big range but good to know how variable in size it can be. Thanks for the info.
