Cutting the Spike.
Before I grab scissors… I just want to be clear that I am supposed to do this.
One of my larger phals has dropped all of the blooms on one of its two spikes. Both spikes are brown, but not dehydrated or dried out. I read that I should cut the spike back to the node in the hopes that it will bloom again, but only if the spike is not already brown in color.
Brown means the blooming is done, right?
So… when I go to cut the spike, I should cut it back to the base of the plant?
Should I put anything on the wound after I make the cut? Would this be a good time to break out the cinnamon?
