= sure the plant is doing well. Then just cut off the dry portion
= as it dies back, how ever far it dies back.

If I may add my question to this thread, I've cut my Phal's spike somewhere in the middle,
and there are two tiny leaves growing there. Now, is that a freak occurance or do these
plants somehow reproduce in this manner? I am guessing sometime in the future, roots will
perhaps show up... I was expecting another spike with buds somewhere along the way, but
this is just as fascinating.
