The 50% off phals I bought had just finished blooming. I cut off all the bad roots and repotted them. How long should I expect to wait for new growth to appear.
Thanks

If you mean a new spike, probably late fall, depending on where you live. Phals need a diurnal temp range of about 10-15 degrees to initiate spiking, and they also need to rest for a while and develop new leaves.
If you mean new leaf growth, that can come any time now.

Yes I mean new leaf and root growth. It looked like whoever potted these plants at the Crystal Co. in St. Lewis MO just crammed the roots together, wrapped them in moss and forced them into the pots, breaking most of them in the process. Disgusting.

I guess I should ask what condition the roots were actually in? I mean, do the plants have some viable roots left? There needs to be enough root system to support the whole plant.
