My orchid refused to bloom for three years straight
I kept it in my east-facing window in Seattle, gave it the right fertilizer, everything. Turns out it needed a much bigger temperature drop at night, like 15 degrees, which I finally tried after reading an old gardening book. Has anyone else had a stubborn plant that needed one specific weird thing to finally work?

Actually, a lot of common plants need a decent temp drop at night to trigger blooming, not just orchids. I mean, my Christmas cactus wouldn't do anything until I left it in a cooler room in the fall. It's more about mimicking their natural environment than them being divas.

That's wild they need a temp drop that big. My plants would probably go into shock. Guess orchids are just divas like that.
