Phal need East facing windows?

Hi Jennie

I have the same problem with windows in the UK I just put mine in a South facing window behind a net curtain to shield the leaves. I also have the same problem with spikes doing nothing, can I suggest you cut the spike just above that lower node, as the top will not bloom now, put a touch of cinnamon on the cut and use sterile knife, good luck hope this works for you.
