How to encourage two bloom spikes on phal?

[Theoldguy]

Is there any truth to Phals not re-blooming due to where the spike originated?

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're asking.. Are you asking about terminal spiking? (When the plant spikes from the center)

In which case yes, the plant will not rebloom or grow new leaves, but it can (and hopefully will) produce a keiki, in which case you'll have your flowers back once it grows up.

Thank you for the reply.
I was reading that an orchid may not bloom if the spike didn't originate from the right place. Being a bit new to orchid culture I had never seen a spike eminate from any other spot than outward from the main growth of the plant. Apparently there is another place from which the spike can grow. Can you explain " Terminal Spiking" a bit further?

A terminal spike comes from the crown of the plant.
Right where new leaves grow.
It means the plant will no longer grow new leaves.

It is amazing what an old guy dosen't know.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. This hobby is a hoot! Always something to learn.
