cuttings from orchids?

Monroe, NY(Zone 6b)

I've got about eight phals that are growing rather tall and are not setting out any flower spikes. I was wondering if I should cut the tops to promote flowering and if the cuttings would actually root. Have any of you had any experience of this type?

Thanks,
Sal

Post this to the orchid forum. I am positive however that cutting the tops will not promote spiking. They should begin spiking this time of year. the real experts at that forum can ask the right questions and give you the right advice.
