Phal hieroglyphica in spike!!

[zxyqu]

Well if it acts anything like my Heiro, it should take about 2-3 months from spike initiation to blooms. Maybe that will help you on the waiting game, and the longer spike appears to be at least a few weeks old. My spike was that long, give or take some, after about a month. Good luck, and can't wait to see what it turns out to be.

Thanks! The longer spike has been growing for about a month now. The shorter one started about a week or so after. Have you found yours to be a touchy grower? How often does yours flower?

Actually mine was it's first flowering, and I've only had it about 6 months now, so I dont' know that I can speak well about it's touchiness. In my hands its put out several new roots, and a new leaf. It's in sphag in a clay pot with no inner pot. Seems to like it pretty well I guess. But, either way, keep us posted on yours

Just remember, this is one of the Phal species that reblooms from old spikes, don't cut them off until they turn brown.
