| Phal spike, how long to flower? My monsterous Phal. Snow Apple recently started a new spike. It is almost an inch long. How long until flowers? I realize there are probably differences from plant to plant, but is there an average? |

| My two Phals are in bloom now. They started at the beginning of July and the first flower opened at the beginning of September, so the evolution of spikes lasted about 2 months. Aniko. |

| It does depend somewhat on environmental factors, type of phal, and how "happy" the plant is - I've had them take three months in my office environment. I had another phal in the same environment that got stressed and it finished off a double spike in much less time that it should have been - the plant responded by sending up a third in no time at all - I didn't actually time that one, but I think it was two months or less. They can be slow though - kind of like watching moss grow. :-) |
