| Check out the culture sheets on phalaenopsis on this site http://orchidweb.org/aos/orchids/page01.aspx and then see if you have any follow-up questions. You have a number of options on what to do with the spent spike - leave alone, cut back to the last node (nearest the first flower) and my favorite cut the spike back to the base of the plant. They bloom once a year - usually grow more roots and leaves after blooming and then start another new spike in the late fall or early winter. Enjoy! mike Last edited by mayres; 06-30-2007 at 08:39 PM. Reason: forgot link! |
