Phal. spikes

I know good things come those who wait. I know patience is a virtue. I hunt and fish and know a thing or two about patience. But will there be an end to the wait?? AHHH!! Decemer 12th, the larger spike was about 4-5" long and the shorter spike was an inch. Now here they are, January 6th. they are starting to form buds. I cant wait! I measured them today when I watered it. The large spike is 21" and the short one is 15" long. Both spikes are from the same plant. I was going to seperate them & repot them when I discovered it was spiking. The last time it bloomed it had a short weak spike. This time its like its on roids and I havent done anything different. I also look forward to getting better pics this time around.







Last time it bloomed was 5/15/07-

Maybe the plant has finally adjusted to your home. Has it only been with you a few years? Whatever...you are certainly doing something right. Keep up the good growing and you're bound to get a real show. Be sure to send us pics when she blooms

That is a beautiful bloom color. I have two pots of noid phals from the Home Depot. Two plants in each but only one spike for each pot. The longer spike has four buds. I can't wait either. Why don't we get together and play some cards or something? Maybe that will make the waiting easier!

I'm sure you know that you still have a loooooong time before you will get flowers??? Buds have yet to form and then it seems like forever! until they open.

If we're playing cards while we wait for phals to bloom, count me in (Maryland)... ever since I learned to tell a newly growing root tip from a spike tip, I pay tons of attention to all my plants in December... and then the weeks just creep along... now, my phals are all in spike but it's soooo slow. The good part is that other things now bloom in those painful waiting periods of December and January... and it won't be long before the NCOS auction (March 1)!

Wow! A fellow Marylander! Where do you usually buy your plants. There's a greenhouse I usually go to located in Carney, Maryland. It's called The Little Greenhouse of all things. The prices seem fair and the plants in good condition. Most impressive to me is the fact that they've received AOS awards on their plants. Any plant bearing the clonal name 'Harford' comes from their greenhouse. Thanks for the chat. Experastu, how do you get your phal leaves so shiney?

What I do is I keep my Phals on the plant stand with the leaves hanging down since their so long. I dont mist them I just give them a good soaking and then let them dry out between soakings. Potting mixture is a mix of bark and some moss. They are in a southern exposure. They have thick roots that are growing every which way and out the bottom of the pot, round the pot and back up the pot. When I finally get to repot them, which will be in seperate pots, I'm going to have to take a hammer to their pot to get them out safely. hammer = safe...who'd have thunk?

Correct if I am wrong. Is there 02 Phals in the pot? What is the size of the pot so that both can be planted nicely?

I think its a 10" pot but it might be 12". Heres an over head pic when the spikes were first found.

I do not own any Phal before but one kind nursery worker gave me 02 Phals for try out. Thats the reason I have been reading & asking around.

Thanks Exasperatus2002 for the info.

No problem rmt135. You should never be afraid to ask something even if it sounds odd.

Since you are growing these phals so well, I thought you would be the one to ask. I don't have a lot of experience with phals and especially with phal spikes. I have buds on two of mine. I was wondering when the buds take on color. I thought they'd stay green and then become colorful when well along. Mine are very small and have taken on a red coloring. I'm a little concerned about them blasting. Is color normal when the bud is only about a quarter of an inch in size?

What color will the flower be? Actually, I don't know why I asked that. I have a phal in spike right now, the flowers will open a cream color with a deep pink lip. The buds are still developing on the current spike, and the smallest ones are quite red. They are getting a bit paler as they age and grow. In fact, all of my young phal buds have some red hue to them. Perhaps it is due to the intensity of light? Everything's healthy, no problem. I believe you have nothing to worry about.

The bud blast that I have seen is mostly yellow with some red. They look a little on the dry side, too. Anyway, when it happens it's pretty evident that it's bud blast. Just go to Wal-mart and look at the ones they have had for over 2 weeks. You'll see what I mean!

If they look a little dry, then it's blasting. Humidity might be a factor too. Might check the levels.

From my own experience, most of my phals flower about 4 months after the spike starts. They stay in flower for 6-12 weeks (usually & sometimes rebloom off the same spike). Your growing conditions are much warmer than mine so you may get flowers sooner.

On another note, I've had spikes stall on me and remain dormant for many months before forming buds. I'm not sure if there's any set time period from spike to bloom. Perhaps others can weigh in on this.

I've never really timed my spikes so I cant say. but when I see small buds forming my patience goes out the window as my excitement grows.

No worries. right now this is what my patience is being worked on the most. Formerly known as Cattleya aurantiaca, Guarianthe aurantiaca has had these sheaths for months. and I cant wait for flowers since this is the plant I want to cross with one of my other orchids to make my first hybrid.

Great project you have there. The new orchid name - 'Guarianthe aurantiaca exasperatus the second'.

If the seedling can be send to S'pore, I do not mind having to start from seed.

Going back to phalaenopsis spikes again, has anyone had experience with green spikes. These come from a pahalaenopsis violacea heritage and are not supposed to be cut as long as they stay green. I bought a noid phal at hte Home Depot and left the spike as is. It remains green but there is no bud growth from it. Because if its heritage, should I expect buds later in the year? Any information will be helpful. Everyone, please keep us informed concering your blooms. My favorite part of this forum is that I get to look at pretty pictures of orchids.

Im not familiar with that. I always keep my spikes on until they dry up in hopes of either getting a keiki or a 2nd bloom.

Nancy: I made the mistake of cutting off the spikes on my phal with violacea heritage. It has been over a year and just recently started some new root growth. I have no idea how long it will take before I get some more spikes, but I've learned a lesson from this one - don't remove green spikes. I found a short article in the link below. Good luck on yours.

Phal. violacea is a summer bloomer, in my experience new growth will start in late winter and spring. Other phalaenopsis spikes will remain green, not only those with violacea in their background.

Nancy, I don't know the parentage of my mini-phal.(BeTris), but it just started to produce a green spike. It looks different than a regular spike in that it has a sort of cleft at the tip. Tobi once said that the new spikes look like mittens and this is more divided into two distinct part (just like a mitten).
I'm so glad I picked up on this thread, because in a year or so I probably would have lost all patience and cut the spike off. Question is, will this spike ever produce blooms Is there some hidden agenda to the green spikes?

Its the plants way to drive us mad by keeping us guessing or doubting ourselves. Did I do something right? wrong? is it reproductively challenged? Then once we drop our guards and blink....Boom......Blooms & keikis are sprouting from every node.

I think with the green spikes they produce one flower at a time all year long. The particular green spike I was referring to is not growing buds from the end, shich is still green. It has produced a secondary spike that is growing well but does not have buds yet. My other green spike plant is in the process of producing buds. I'd say just wait and see. These plants appear to branch in strange ways. I wish I had a better answer for you. Good luck with your plant.

How cool! I love waiting for a bloom, or a seed to emerge. It's really exciting. I can't wait to see your blooms. I'm living thru you! I can't wait to be in your position! It looks great!
