I was in home depot the other day and they have an orchid promo on
Phals
for $9.99. What caught my eye is every one was blooming on at least 2
new spikes with some having 3 spikes. The best I can do is bloom on
one new and
one old spike. So does any one know how the grower got these to put
out multi spikes?
By the way 90% had no ids but I my body forced me to buy got one that
had a
name tag.




A couple now and then I can see but this was two racks of four shelves
and every one had at least two spikes. As others have mentioned these
where most likely forced to bloom in this way. As for me I rather see my
plants bloom every year than to hold them back for years to get multible
spikes.

Grow well and bloom magnificently
