I was just cleaning and snapped the stem on my Phal. Its been in bloom for months so I'm not heartbroken, and was going to cut back anyway, but one of the people that I wanted to show this off to is coming next week. Should I leave the spike on or cut
the stem and put them in water.

Thanks guys

Cut the spike. IF your lucky the spike in a vase will not be
disturbed by cats and will probably last a week.
