OK so my first thought is of course flat mites, but I’m not sure that’s the case! I have treated for mites before and don’t see other signs of mites on the plants.
I noticed awhile ago that the NGG (3rd slide) has peduncles on every node instead of leaves. What I didn’t expect was the find peduncles at every node on a random shepherdii cutting.
All of my Hoya and Dischidia are currently blooming in this cabinet. So could it just be that some are getting ahead of themselves and only producing blooms? The NGG still has sulphur on the underside of the leaves from a mite treatment. I have even posted it here before updating its recovery progress from mites. Now it’s doing this and I’m even more lost. 😭
The last pic is an example of a Burtoniae that has been flowering about 15 penducles every month. Any advice on what’s going on here?? Maybe it’s the seaweed fertilizer I use?

It must be something you do or something about your set up. I’ve heard certain kinds of stress can lead to growth and flowers, but not sure pests count among them. With flat mites, new growth usually dies off, I’d expect the same to happen to peduncles.
If you’ve treated with sulfur, that can encourage all kinds of growth, too. Are the existing leaves fine? It looks like a very bright set up, that might add to the blooms…
