Default my paph malipoense is in spike again!

Joe T,

Is your question still on the subject of paphs? So, after a paph blooms ...?

I just tend to treat Paphs the same way that I treat the Phals, and I treat
them the same whether they are in bloom or not. And sometimes they reflower,
and sometimes they do not. Hmm. Now I wonder whether there is anything that
I should be doing different for the Paphs than for the Phals. Maybe that's
why they are not as reliable in reflowering for me? I know that for a Phal
to reflower it needs the right amount of light and a night-day temperature
difference of 10-15 degrees Fahrenheit for a week or two. Do similar factors
trigger Paphs into spike as well? If not, which triggers do they need?

After a plant blooms can you just bring it inside? What does one need
to do to maintain the plant yet enjoy the flower?
