phal shooting new spikes off old Male
Default phal shooting new spikes off old

so i rescued a phal from ...... you guessed it.... lowes...lol it was a pretty good size and had 1 unopened bulb on the end of the spike. the bulb has now opened and is a beautiful flower and i am noticing new growth all over the spike. i am assuming this had flowers all over the spike and they were either picked off or fell off in store. so here is a pic of the new growth. so you can see towards the bottom right below the tie off there is something shooting off. 3 or 4 inches above that to the right there is another spike starting, and right behind the flower there is another. i read somewhere on here that someone was asking about new growth on an old spike, and i couldnt find the post so i started this one.
can i expect to see flowers from these new growths?

Can't tell from the pix but it will either be a spike branch or a keiki.

Keikis are fine. Let them grow until they are ready to repot and you have a new plant !!! What's not cool about that ?
