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. ## 10 comments ### MeasomerPi commented on 2023-10-17 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. #### Jen replied on 2023-10-18 Ok, so maybe (definitely) I’m just impatient. 😆 #### MeasomerPi replied on 2023-10-18 Aren’t we all? Open! Open! Open! #### Sybellina replied on 2023-10-21 I 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? #### Jen replied on 2023-10-21 Same. Same. Just keeping the faith… 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 ### Leafmealone commented on 2023-10-19 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! #### MeasomerPi replied on 2023-10-21 Wonderful information! Thanks! ### Sybellina commented on 2023-10-21 So 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. #### Sybellina replied on 2023-10-21 Also 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 #### Jen replied on 2023-10-21 🤣 --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
