Is it healthy for an orchid to grow roots, leaves, and buds at the same time?
I have a phal Fuller's gold strips that I got from Lowes with two spikes on it. It was in moss but when I got it home it went into phal mix and an orchid pot right away. After a few weeks a foster kitten knocked it over causing it to lose all of the flowers on one spike and the several flowers on the other. I've been giving it MSU fertilizer weakly weekly with altering supplements. I will use KLN root stimulus one week and kelp the next. I've been also alternating cal/mag (before that it was calcium nitrate and Epsom salt) and Quantum-orchid every other week for only about a month.
I noticed a few weeks ago that both spikes were growing longer then sending out buds. When I saw that I went to check the roots to make sure I didn't have any rot. I found a new root that was 3/4 inch long and a new tip of a root coming out of next to the spike. I also saw yesterday that a new leaf was coming up too.
Is it healthy for it to have all of this new growth? I've added some pics to show you what I'm looking at.
