  • Hi, thanks for your very informative videos.

    After I cut the spike, do I water the pot during fall and winter? And if so, do I water once a week as usual?

    Thank you!

  • Yes, after cutting the spike continue to water and fertilize as normal. The Phal will then enter a growth phase and start a new leaf.
