Recovering Orchid making flower spike
Default Recovering Orchid making flower spike

I'm taking care of an older person's Phalaenopsis while she is away, or rather stuck in another part of the world because of Corona virus. I've been looking after the Phalaenopsis since February. When I got to the orchid it was super dehydrated. Wrinkly leaves and hardly any roots left. I repotted it, by the way. The thing is that it had two tall flower spikes (that the lady had cut down after blooming). As I took the orchid to my apartment to keep a closer eye on it, it started giving side spikes on the spikes that were on there and flower buds. I was thinking it's no good because this orchid with such few roots, should be making roots and leaves instead. So I cut one flower spike away, the other one I cut down as I felt it needed something to attach that stick to it so it stays in the pot, since there are no deep roots.

Point is, now the spike that I left on is still making new flower buds. Plus the plant is making an entirely new flower spike on the other side.

It seems like no matter what this Phal is intent on making flowers, in spite of it's condition.

What do you suggest?
