First time sending a photo...phal spike.
I am so happy....2 new stems forming on NOID phal from the old flower spikes.
I cut above the second node as I learned from OB. This is the first time this has worked for me. I am still waiting on a few others.

Phal buds may open soon,,,, I hope,,,,,,,,,
Here is my second photo. These 5 buds have looked like this for about the past 3 weeks. They seem to have stalled. On this NOID, I cut the dead spike back to the leaves. It took a long time to get going with a new stem.
...but phal newbie (me) is happy...I am giving it lots of light in a West window and water and fertilizer..It was repotted from moss into bark....maybe that set it back.

Sometimes the buds grow so slowly that they give the impression of being stalled. Hopefully in a few weeks you'll have some blooms!
