They aren't like my other phals. Is this normal for this plant? I tried to wipe them with a damp cloth, but that shine just keeps shining on. If this is not normal, do you think it's harming the little guy and should I try to get it off? (I think I read something about a dilution of lemon juice and water to clean leaves - or something like that...)
Thanks so much for any thoughts/advice you may have.

Your description sounds quite normal. I'm sure your plant is fine. Sometimes a plant in bud can be moved to a new home and the spike/buds seem to go dormant. It could get going again today or tomorrow, or maybe not until next month or longer. Be patient and it'll reward you!
