multiple spiking phal

Still finishing up flowering, but I guess this plant just couldn't wait to have another go at it. Note the new sub-spike on each main spike, and the third spike coming off the trunk. Crazy.

Any ideas regarding those spots on the leaves? They have been unchanged for months so I haven't fretted them very much....

WOWZA!! That's a happy plant... even with spots. Looks like sunburn to me.

Looks like sunburn to me also. Nice plant, I have one with blooms that look very similar. It bloomed like crazy off of a subspike, and now I am waiting to see if it will give me a new spike after cutting the old one off. Congrats.

They way that's going, it'll be in bloom for many months to come. Very nice

Hi Slippery_Biscuit, I had a few of my Phals outside this summer and now I have the same spots as you--I had them on a covered porch and thought they were fine, but I watered them in the morning and the suns rays got to them before they were completely dry. The water magnified the rays and the rest is history-- Next time I will know better, but you need not worry about the spot of your ever-blooming Phal!! Great plant
