Claude,

Phals are funny creatures. I've had first bloom seedlings with only a
single flower or two. Others have a nice spray of 4-8 flowers.

Usually the ones that bloom when still very small have fewer flowers.
(Duh!)

It may take several years before you know the full potential of the plant.
Now is the time to decide whether the flower has the qualities that make it
worthwhile to grow it out to an adult specimen. If the flower is not a
desirable color or has flaws that ruin the display then cut your loss and
get another seedling. You have to ask yourself whether a full spray of a
dozen or so these blossoms would make a plant worthy of display.

Good growing,
Gene

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
