I have Phal schilleriana and this one is my 3rd attempt. The first two failed because I tried to grow them in pots. I'm not sure if that was really the cause of my two failures but the one I have at present is mounted and now have 2 spikes on its second blooming. This also stays outdoors from spring (soon after blooming) until the first cold snap in winter, anytime between Dec. to Feb.
