we try and take the naturalist approach with our orchids and do as little augmentation and human intervention as possible. we don’t even cut dead stems. so, our opinion is to leave it alone and let the plant do what it will.
only an opinion.
and not to burst your bubble, but it is a rare home grower that can make phals bloom like you find in the grocery stores. most of us can only approach an approximation of that standard. best of luck!
and meh, unless you want to make keikis for some reason, i personally would also forgo any paste application....most unnatural
