| When your flowers finally fade and you are going to cut the spikes off, don't cut them all the way off. Leave a couple, mabe three nodes close to the bottom of the plant. From recent reading, it appears that cutting the spike near the lowest flowers encourages more blooming, and cutting it short, encourages keikis.
Definitely fertilize if you see activity. It takes fortification to build all those different parts of the plant. Generic orchid food is fine. Cynthia |
