All my phals (well aside from the three I got in the last few months) have all re-bloomed. The others the one still hasn't and the newer ones haven't been around enough yet to bloom. If that one won't bloom in august I'm going to get rid of it. It last bloomed in 2010 and I really hate to say it but I'm losing my patience with it. I'd like to see if someone else can do better so it'll be gone. I have a few I worry about that I got in Oct, they sent out some new roots, then stopped. Nothing new. The one should be getting ready to spike soon, but transplanting it may have made it sulk (the psychopsis) But a lot of my newer ones are summer bloomers, so we'll see in the next few months if they send out a spike.
What kind of orchid did you cut? I try to wait untilt hey turn brown like people suggest, but I cut my phals down when they drop their last bloom. I just cut my dendrobium down this week and he hasn't had a bloom since christmas. I just thought it was time. I worry that they may send energy into the spike when it should be going towards root growth. With the psychopsis his spike won't get cut until it turns very brown and crispy since he blooms on the same spike for years.
