| hello Megan,
I'm also new in growing orchids but I heard from one lecture in the Santa Barbara International orchid fair from the orchid guy that retaining the three nodes might produce flower but very few and that the orchid will spend its energy in the nodes. so if to cut the whole thing you will allow your phaelanopsis to use its energy in growing and that they will produce more flower next time. maybe you can watch him in you tube. |
