    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING!!!! No offense taken, in fact, more "assumed knowledge" is welcome. :o) We did not expect the blooms to fall off. Beginner alert! Now that we know we need to cutoff spikes, the question is where and how many? After a bit of research, we feel decently confident, but would still welcome your input to ensure we get the brand new fat spikes for the bigger blooms. Have a look at the photo attached. I have numbered where we are considering to cutoff the spikes. Any more detailed advice about "where" to cutoff the spikes is appreciated.

    You've already provided much more guidance than I expected. THANKS AGAIN.

    Attaching a better photo. Where should we cut?
