All of them finished with whatever flowers they had when they bought them, so all these spikes are homegrown!

Who knew they could be so easy :-D

Yup with just a little love and care a Phal will bloom for you like clock work. Sounds like you got it under control.

I just picked up a rescue Phal from PetCo of all places for $2.00. I have no clue what the flowers will be but the Leaves are cute and round. The roots were in pretty good shape from being neglected for months.

Ive got one mini that is in bud right now, and it will be a surprise :-D Ive got a guess of what it could be, but I wont know for sure until the flowers open. I have been hovering around it for the past week. I just know one of them will open soon ^_^

Im a sucker for the minis. Dont tell the others, but my minis get extra love and care
