Claude, the general answer to both of your questions is yes. Next time
around the spike should be longer and you should have more flowers.

Now how you take care of it does play into the spiking and blooming but
in general the answer is yes.

Hello everyone!

A simple question!

I have a phal who`s blooming for the first time. I have noticed that the
spike is quite short ( about 8inch ) and only two flower buds.

Is the spike will grow longer with age? Am I going to have more flowers in
the future?

Thanks

Claude
