| Flowers don't last forever unless they're silk so that's normal. Sometimes the spike will stay green and sometimes it will turn brown and dry up. You can cut that back to the base if you want. Under the right conditions the plant will send out another spike and flower for you. The bottom most leaves are the oldest and therefore the first to go. Usually these leave will turn yellow and get wrinkly. Brown or black spots on green leaves or roots may indicate rot. How many leaves are left? I tend to water my phal when the media goes dry on the top. There's a skewer method that Cynthia uses that has been discussed in threads on this forum. If your phal is in a clear plastic pot you may want to take a look at the roots and make sure they're still green and healthy looking. |
