I have a thriving Phalaenopsis orchid that has been with me for the last two years. It blooms several times a year and has always appeared happy and healthy. I recently realized while I was repottingthat the grower had actually stuck two plants into one pot. I serparated them, and since then they have grown even larger on their own. Both of the orchids are producing new flower stems which are growing quite well. However, I just noticed last night that one of the stems appears pinched in just one area, and it seems to be stunting its growth. It is an obvious weak spot that has been created, but I have no idea why it happened - this is a new one for me. Can anyone shed some light on this?
