Most of the time I see the formation of inflorescences several weeks after a
couple of weeks of cold treatment is applied. If possible, I would also recommend increasing the temperatures by about 5°C. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! .. "Mike" wrote in message ... Orchid friends, My Phalaenopsis is growing two new roots and no spike yet! The plant is extremely healthy and happy. It has 8 healthy leaves at the moment. I am fertilizing it with 10-60-10 (Schultz Bloom Plus) to push it into spike. I am even giving it the cold treatment at night for a few hours. Day temps are about 22C/71F and night temps are about 8C/46F. But there is no sign of a spike yet! I live in Southwestern Ontario, so the plant should be producing a spike right about this time. The roots are pointy and about 0.5 cm in length. The tips are reddish. I'm assuming they are roots since they are growing down. I also see tiny white and black bugs walking around. Which insecticides are safe to use with an orchid? What am I doing wrong?
