| Clarita, since Martine is even further north than you are, you are probably right about needing a little more light. But the comment about giving Phals Catt light is totally off base. If you are doing that, be prepared for a series of unexplained diseases attacking your Phals. I grew my Phals in a greenhouse where I bloomed Catts very well, and every one of my Phals over 25 years of trying would last a year or 2, then slowly look worse and worse until they turned up their heals. For 25 years I couldn't grow Phals for love or money, but that was in the days when one size fit all in my GH. Now I grow Phals just fine, about 3 dozen of them, and I grow them with extra shade cloth to give them about half or less of the light my Catts get.
