Summerglow it JUST happens with this plant, doesn't need any form of encouragement.
As someone said in an earlier thread, pulcra (and several other Phal species, throw keikis a lot. Some folks just let them go, don't bother to remove them and they'll eventually mature to the point where they'll spike. I saw this once on a big stock plant at a nursery, a big plant with about 5 spikes, about 5 keikis, I think 3 of the keikis were in spike, some with flowers. It was a sight. If you get too many pulcra pups you could always sell them off for $5 or $10 each and use the procedes to fund your habit...er...offset other costs.
