Ok, I admit it, I have been spoiled by all the Phals that have successfully
rebloomed for me, and patience is not one of my virtues. As a result, I am
wondering about this one Phal that is not spiking/reblooming this year (so
far at least).

This plant was a keiki of one of my standard white Phal NoIDs. Last year
(not long after being separated from the mother plant) it spiked and had 3
blooms. I would have expected a spike by now if it was going to reflower at
the same time of year as it did before. My mature standard white Phals are
both in full bloom already. This young plant did have a new leaf earlier
this year, and its root system and leaves seem healthy, so I am not worried
about it, I am just wondering what to expect of such a young plant.

So here are some questions I have:
1) In your experience (those of you who have experience with young standard
hybrid Phals), is there most often just one year between the first and the
second blooming just like with mature ones, or is it more common that if a
plant bloomed very young for the first time that it will rebloom two years
from then?
2) Also, while I am asking about it, could you tell me about any differences
in culture between mature plants and young ones? Up until now I have been
treating it pretty much the same as the others, but now I am wondering if I
should have been doing anything differently. I have a couple other young
plants, one of them a seedling I acquired recently that will hopefully bloom
next year for the first time, so should I continue treating them pretty much
like my other Phals?
3) Finally, if anyone has any corrections for my terminology, I would
welcome them: I know that "young plants" is not right, but "seedling" seems
wrong in the case of a plant that started out as a keiki. Also is "mother
plant" appropriate? I know that for seedling one speaks of "seed parent" and
"pollen parent", but what is the proper terminology for keiki parent? Also
would a keiki be a stem prop?

Thanks,
Joanna
