| Thanks for the great advice!
I'm located in Scotland, so all the orchids are kept indoors all year.
Would you advise, then, to cut the stem before the open flowers drop? In any case, given that it has flowered for as long, would it be best to cut the stem right down to the base, or under the spot where the first flower was? I have another 2 phals that have been in bloom for just over 6 months - should I allow them to flower as long as they wish, then cut them back, or should I cut them back after a certain period of flowering?
I also have another phal which has some roots at the top of the plastic clear pot that have wrinkled and turned grey. Is this normal or is there another reason? Any replies gratefully received! |
