first time double-spike!
For the first time ever one of my Phals is showing activity on two spikes,
both of which it has grown in my apartment. One of it is an older spike, the other a new one. Before this I had bought some Phals that came with two spikes, but when they reflowered they would have one spike at a time only. I feel like this is a major breakthrough. I had already thought that my conditions were not good enough for double-spiking, but now I got two spikes of one of my Phals that I have had for 3 years already. Yay. It's a happy day. Joanna |

Hey Joanna1
I`m happy for you. What are the conditions for double spiking? One of my DTPS is actuallty triple spiking ( see previous pictures on ABPO! ) Bye Claude "J Fortuna" wrote in message ... | For the first time ever one of my Phals is showing activity on two spikes, | both of which it has grown in my apartment.

Claude,
Triple spiking! That's wonderful. Congratulations! To tell you the truth, I do not really know what conditions are required for double or triple spiking. I know that only more mature, older plants will do it. But beyond that, I assumed that a plant that has had double spikes in a previous year when being grown in a greenhouse, and then once it is moved to my apartment it has only one spike per year, I assumed that this was because the conditions were not as good in my apartment as in the greenhouse. But I don't know which conditions -- not enough light? not enough humidity? Does anyone else out here know what are the most likely causes of a plant that is definitely mature enough to be in double or triple spike to only have one spike?

Claude,
I searched the rgo archives, and found the following post from Ray in response to a question about when a Phal may have multiple spikes: http://groups.google.com/groups?thre...giganews.c om Best, Joanna "J Fortuna" wrote in message ...
