My Phal. Naples Nights spike update

[patticake]

It's growing ever so slowly... But it's growing, non-the-less. In the right direction, too!

Patti, Congratulations, big time I keep looking at my Naples Night--everyday--but so far all I have is some purple nubby things I just hope I have a spike by the time you have a bloom...

[patticake]

Mine was a purple nubby thing a few weeks back...so, there's hope!

[arleneg]

Congrats on the spike!

[patticake]

Thanks, Arlene! I'm really excited....

LoL, the nub on mine hasn't moved since I found it! LOL. Same thing happened with my Enc. cochleata. I think I spooked them or something...

[patticake]

Maybe they heard about the Windex! (Sorry, that was cruel, wasn't it?)

I have mine where it gets a little more light than my other Phals. It's in a south window, but it's just behind a Catt.- It gets dappled sun throughout the mid-day. Maybe that's the difference.

[patlee]

Well, it did start out with Florida-light! Maybe, that is the secret I'm gonna move mine this morning to an east window and see if it gets those nubs moving. What have I got to lose? It's just hanging out now with the other Phals, not doing much of anything ...Do you use worm tea,Patti?

[patticake]

I do... about every 8-10 days or so. Other than that, I just use tap water. It must be good here in ol' Halfmoon!

[articuno75]

Mine is facing the East window as close as I can get to it without kissing it. The growth I have has gotten bigger and new roots have appeared. There is another growth coming! . Has to be lighting.

[patticake]

I agree- It seems to be able to take a little more light than my hybrid Phals.
It's exciting....

[patlee]

What sort of light are you giving your psychopsis, Patti Doesn't it seem that variegated leaves usually take more light? How did I miss that? Oh well, live and learn
