Quick survey… how many of your (already acclimated to your house- not brand new) phalaenopsis are spiking right now? I’m trying to be patient, but only 1 of my 8 are growing a flower spike, and I’m wondering what I may need to change in their culture.
Of the phals that I have had for a year or more, 2 out of 10 are spiking. I don’t expect 3 of them to do anything this year (dealing with setback). The rest I am (im)patiently waiting on.
1 likeOk, so maybe (definitely) I’m just impatient. 😆

2 likesI cried when my mini mark plopped out it’s first flower spike. When it got another I was like YESSSSS!!!! But the spikes are moving so slowly. I look at them everyday like hello? Are you home?

5 of the 7 in my greenhouse have spikes and great growth but only 2 of the 13 indoor have spikes. The humidity makes all the difference here!

0 likesSo only one of my phals is spiking but they’ve got two spikes and I’m DYING!! Where I’m at we haven’t reached fall, fall yet so I don’t think I’ll see more till at least November.
1 likeAlso a lot of my phals are still growing tons of roots and leaves I feel like they’re on the biggest loser and it’s last chance weigh in before spikes
