Phal. Schilleriana Spike Development Stall Male
Default Phal. Schilleriana Spike Development Stall

Hi Everyone,

I've got this phalaenopsis schilleriana that began spiking >1 month ago, and the spike seems to have stalled or taken a break. In the meantime, it has grown a new leaf and is growing plenty of roots. Does anyone else see this plant taking a long time to grow this much? Many other warm/hot plants of mine have started spiking after it and are much further along development wise, so I don't think it's anything environmental.

Thanks

I haven't seen this on a schilleriana, but I've seen other phals start spikes then stall. Sometimes they start growing them after months, sometimes they dry up. My Chi Yueh Kaleidoscope started two spikes months ago and it is just starting to develop one of them.

Your schilleriana looks very happy to me, you might have to just wait until it is ready

I have a Phal schilleriana that looked like it was spiking, then it sat there, and eventually produced leaves on the spike (but no roots, so not really a keiki). Then it continued to develop a spike and bloomed. So yes, they can do this. And it's very possible that it will eventually finish that spike. Mine was so weird that I posted photos.

Confused - or multitasking - Phalaenopsis

ours failed hard this year. i attirbute that to 2 factors:

a cold winter
and basically not fetilizing it in 2022.

so yeah, we r in no pisition to give advice here!! buuut, i will say that if it experienced a colder winter perhaps that has set it back. however, when ours started growing the spike in late november or so, it grew pretty normally and developed a full set of buds even in cold temps. just blasted pretty much all of em later on...so our issue may have been different

The cold probably did it in ... I fertilize very little and it doesn't seem to make any difference.

This is grown in the coldest room of my apartment. Typically at night it has gotten down to 65F, but some of the coldest nights have seen it as low as 58F. The air circulation here is terrible!

I know this species is one of the hotter growing phals so maybe there is some stress. However, the spike initiated well after those days past. It remains to be seen what will happen.

I fertilize fairly lightly as well.

Looks like the plant was not interested in that spike and decided to start a brand new one. I haven't seen something like this before where the new spike is behind the older one.

The old spike stump still looks to be alive, so the plant could be attempting to re-grow it, but the only point available for growth is the origin point on the stem?

I’ve had the very tip of a phal spike snap off just as it had finished forming a node, the tip was barely visible beyond the node bract when the break occurred. Not only did the node grow, but it split and I ended up with two branches at the break point. Hopefully yours keeps it up this time.
