Hi all!
Long time since i've been in the Orchid forum... Gorgeous all!

I acquired my very 1st P. callosum back in March 2019. It was in bloom when I bought it.
It's a Paph. callosum 'Hilo Fire' AM/AOS x. Paph. 'Hilo Ruby' #2
Not that that matters, because it's got nothing to do with my question. *Blush*

I'll preface by saying that I'm familiar with the fact that a Phal., "needs" a minimum of 3 leaves, before spiking.
Does the Paph., have a similar requirement? When purchased, it had 5 leaves, of which 4 remain. It has put on a new growth, and I'm wondering if the same will be needed to produce a spike. Actually, I'm just thrilled that it's still alive, and putting on new growth! My first one, and so far so good. Crossing Fingers! But I've not been able to find the answer to this.

Tara
