Also, since that flowering, it has not rebloomed. In over two years!! It has
been growing new leaves (dropped about two in the process) and it looks and
feels strong but no new blooms. Can the no-root keikei be influencing this?
Thanks in advance.
Do you have a temperature change between day and night? Most
Phal's will not initiate a spike with out at least a 10 degree
differential.
Keiki roots sometimes are very slow. A rooting compound could be
applied. A bit of sphagnum moss can be attached to the keiki
where it is or the keiki could be fastened to rest just above a
small pot filled with sphagnum. You need to keep the moss damp.
Good luck.
