| This is an interesting question because if memory serves me, this Phal can be in bloom continuously for a couple of years. So, if you let it bloom, it could do so for a very long time. I think it was Matthew Gore that said he had one of these in bloom for 2+ years now.
I don't have an opinion either way because I don't have any experience with Phal. cornu cervi, but I am interested to hear what some others say.
I understand why one might want to cut a first time bloom off of a phal so that it can grow into a larger plant and have possible better blooms in the future, but are there a lot of growers that do this? Is this something that is done more by those who show and try to get the most potential out of the orchid?
