Well it was the stem not the spike. I had never seen an orchid with this long of a stem. It must have been around a long time. I think I bought it for her a couple of years ago from Safeway. But it has to be an old phal to have that long a stem.
Ok Mary linn I will keep it dry. Luckily I hadn't watered it yet today. My mom is going to dye when she sees how small of a pot I put this in. It was in a 5 inch plastic and now it's in a 3 inch clay. It was the only one I had that size and I thought the clay might hold it up better as it has big leaves.
It was also in sphagnum.
