The Phal abuse ends here.

Q: What about Phals that bloom from the same spike? Should they be removed as well?

A: For species such as Phal cornu-cervi and Phal mannii, I don't recommend it, but again, that's at the grower's discretion as to when they'd like to do so.

So, if you cut off a spike on a phal that will rebloom from old spikes, will it eventually grow a new one? Why, if ever, should you remove one of these spikes?
