I don't have the same experience like many of this forum's members but I've learn from my mistakes.
I got 2 gorgeous blooming Phals for my birthday but I didn't know how bad their roots were.
So after a week or so,the buds started to fall off one by one and it was so frustating.
I didn't want to stress the flowers so I didn't repot or check roots until I'd lost all the buds and the leaves started to split right in the middle and became droopy.
Finally I checked the roots and no surprise they were brown and rotten.I've cleaned the dead stuff and repot but didn't want to cut the spikes...
After 2-3 weeks the situation was worse so I finally cut the spikes in a disperate way to save them.I just love their fabulous color which is deep dark hot pink!!
So be smarter than me,cut the spike
