Q regarding Lady's Slipper

[Ray]

Aw, c'mon folks.

The purchased plant was a lady's slipper (paph or phrag we don't know, but I'd guess the former), and the question was "do I cut the old spike LIKE a phal?".

Unless it's a multifloral (you'd see more buds on the spike before the last flower drops), slippers do not rebloom from the same spike, so you can remove it.
