Default Phals revisited

If you mean a new spike, probably late fall, depending on where you live.
Phals need a diurnal temp range of about 10-15 degrees to initiate
spiking, and they also need to rest for a while and develop new leaves.

If you mean new leaf growth, that can come any time now.

Yes I mean new leaf and root growth. It looked like whoever potted these
plants at the Crystal Co. in St. Lewis MO just crammed the roots together,
wrapped them in moss and forced them into the pots, breaking most of them in
the process. Disgusting.
