I'm so upset I broke it
While watering, didn't realize Kitchen cabinet was way close to the stem. Stem was HUGE LONG, and took 7 buds & flowers off. I heard the click when it broke and I got so upset cuz there's no way to save it.  Darn !

I know how you feel. I've done it, too. Though it is very frustrating, it is well worth remembering that it will bloom again. Phals sometimes even send up another spike or bud from the broken spike just to compensate for the ones broken. The important thing to do, however, is to console yourself by buying another orchid, either in bud or bloom.
