I do have one question yet. I have not cut the flowers off the main spike. As I put in my post, I am using the spike to keep the Phal steady in the pot at the moment since so many of its roots are near the top. I know that in order for her to direct her energies towards the roots it has to be removed but she did try to branch off the damaged second spike. It makes me wonder if she loses her blooms, she'll try and branch off what is left of that spike. So should I wait or remove them?
