A lot of questions

[prc11]

1. Do bulbyforum spikes come the base Of the plant or the leaves?

2. I have a cattleya that has one psuedobulb and one new lead. There are no rotted roots but there is only one small root in its early growth stage. My question is, should I be watering the small root or misting it or as I read somewhere else let it reach for the water. I do not want it to get to dry in worries the new lead my die.

3. I have a phal I bought at wegmans for $5 and it has many wilted leaves and a green spike. Since it has noe root system should I cut the spike that looks like it is try to grow new spikes off of it so it with put it's energy into growing?

4. The orchids that are developing spikes or buds, should I be fertilizing them with a flowering fertilizer or does it matter?

Answer any questions you can. I had so many questions I figured that I should put them into one post instead of four seperate posts.
