My phal is going basal keiki crazy
I have had this phal for just over 3 years now. I have managed to get it to flower every spring (I seem to get them to flower any time from end of January to beginning of march).
I recently re-potted them with new compost and it looks really healthy. Soon after re-potting loads of new roots started growing and then what I thought was a new flower spike which turned out to be a basal keiki also started to grow. The basal keiki now has a few good looking leafs.
I went on holiday during August (a family member come over to water the plants and feed my 2 Mississippi Map Turtles) and when I come back to my surprise another basal keiki is growing on the other side of the mother plant. The mother plant still looking in great shape.
Is this normal to have 2 growing pretty much at the same time? does this mean the mother plant might be suffering from some kind of problem?
Will take some pictures later when I get a chance.
