summer-blooming Phals question
Xref: kermit rec.gardens.orchids:60138
My understanding is that summer-blooming Phals (such as Phal violacea or Dtps that are close to Doritis) do not need the night-day temperature difference to initiate spiking, right? Is there anything that one can do to encourage these summer-blooming Phals that maybe it's time to put out a spike? I know I am impatient, but I really really would like them to rebloom for me, especially my Dtps Telitha Gem that was my very favorite last year when I got it, and if there is anything that I can do to encourage it to rebloom, I shall. Please don't say that I need to ignore it, and pretend that I don't care whether it respikes or not, because that would be too hard for me to do. :-) Joanna |
summer-blooming Phals question
Hello Joanna!
I have a Dtps. Taisucco Lemon who has been growing leaves and roots like crazy since 2 to 3 years. I was growing it in S/H, under fluorescent. Last april, I decided to put it on my windowsill, just for fun. Guess what, it is growing a spike! Maybe the change of light, i don`t know! Go to my page and click on Blooming and Spiking album to see it. Claude http://www.picturetrail.com/phalguy P.S: My cornu-cervi is opening today, I will add a picture tomorrow!
