to let spike or not to let spike?
What min temp was you keeping the schilleriana?
Thanks Keith

OrchidKitty,
Yup, I heard this too, but unfortunately only after I got this
schilleriana
to the stage it is now in. And yes, I think the winter temp was most
likely
the culprit. I will try to be more careful in the future with schilleriana
and temps -- provided this one makes it somehow or keikis or I get
another.
Thanks,
Joanna

My experience with schillerianas is that they like it warm in
winter--warmer than most phals. (My experience is based on two previous
winter kills.) I keep mine on the top rack of a plant stand in my
growing room. At the moment, I've got one plant with a bloom spike and
a spike with kiki on it (which looks odd--a 7" spike ending in a kiki
with 3 leaves and a 3-inch root); the other plant has just a spike.
