Hard to say for sure but a 'tiny blister' might be nothing important or it
may be the very beginning of a bacterial/fungal infection. I like Physan as
a remedy/preventative for these infections. If it rubs off, it could be
scale, which is an insect problem and Physan won't help

I suspect most Phal bellina blooms will be in the summer months in nature,
but in cultivation in a home they could be anytime. Phal bellina is not
going to be one of those Phals that one could say wants a cool snap to help
it bloom. It is a warm loving plant. Cool conditions will only add to your
fungus/ bacterial worries.

Keep it fertilized and in as bright a growing condition as you can without
burning the leaves and it will bloom when it is ready.

Hello everyone, I've had a phal bellina for a few months now, I put
under lights a few months back and I've seen it go from droopy and slow
to healthy, and even growing a new leaf.
The leaves used to be a transparent color, and they just bounced back
to life.
Anyway, I was wondering..... this morning when I was watering, I
noticed what seems to be a tiny blister in between the second to last
leaf base.
Could it be sick, as I said the plant looks o.k. I've even noticed some
new root growth.
I also wanted to know what season they bloom, I've been looking around
for an answer, but I only get short and choppy information.
Thanks, Sandra! =)
