So true, typically I get 2 weeks from the other houseplants, on other orchids about a month, but Phals really goes on long, then sometimes, it reblooms on an old spike, so another long one, but it will be the decision of the grower if they will allow it, since they know by that 2nd rebloom on an old spike, the Phal is really pushing itself, so some would opt to cut off that spike to allow the plant to rest and focus on new roots and leaves.
