Hi everyone. I got a Prescottia Maculata / Pelexia Laxa several weeks ago. It arrived with 2 leaves but they died soon after. There was some growth in the middle. I first thought it was a new leaf but it turned out to be a spike. I digged into the soil a bit and the roots seem very healthy.
I have Macodes Petola, Aspidogyne Argentea and few others which keep growing from new branches after flowering. But this orchid seems a bit different as in it seems to only grow from the middle, and not really branch out. I thought about cutting off the spike as I do with my Ludisia Discolor but I am afraid of stressing the plant.
Most of my plant experience is about Philodendrons, Alocasias and such. In those cases, I wouldn't be concerned about the possibility of a new leaf growing. But I am not sure if a jewel orchid in this condition can grow new leaves.
I was hoping someone could give me some pointers.
