I had a phal that was really struggling. PhalPal told me to cut the spike to give the plant more energy for growth. It was a really hard thing to do, but now I have five new,healthy leaves. Like Andrew said, I'm not sure if this actually promotes new growth or just lets the plant recover from stress. Whatever, the end results were what I wanted and now everybody is happy and healthy
