I don't pretend to have tons of experience here, but I've had good luck by cutting off the spike on a couple of distressed phals. They do lose a lot of moisture through the flowers, it seems! The cut...

I've gotten a few mystery NoIDs from the big box stores, not as good a deal as fifty cents though! The only 'problem' is that several were duplicates... my daughter was happy to inherit them:)
