3 flower spikes, good?
My Cambria has developed 3 flower spikes, two strong ones from the side
of one pseudobulb and a weaker one from the side which I originally thought was a root. My question is, is this a good thing? would I get better blooms over all by cutting at least the weaker one or should I simply be grateful? The plant is looking very healthy, plump pseudobulbs and two strongly growing backbulbs. Any advice appreciated. Peter |

I doubt cutting the weaker one will help the others at this point. Let it be, it's doing great it seems. The plant is looking very healthy, plump pseudobulbs and two strongly growing backbulbs. You're doing great, let it grow! |

Hi, Peter: Leave them alone & enjoy the flowers. With a stong healthy plant the flowers should all be fine. I am envious as Vuyl. Cambria doesn't do well in So. Florida--I try but they all Give up the ghost. Let it get root-bound and don't let it dry out. Bill thanks Bill and Tom. Mine sits just inside the door side panel facing east. Its only single glazed and there is a slight draft so on winter nights here in Dundee, Scotland they get a little chilly. But they seem to thrive on it. My phal gave me three spikes last time it flowered too. I guess there must be some disadvantages to all that warm Florida weather ;-) Peter |
