Spikes

[BURR]

Morning from tomorrow,

I am re-potting and I have a mess because I didn't work with them for years.
What do I do with 3-4 foot spicks? They are green or a little yellow and bare of any flowers or leaves!

TIA,

[WhiteRabbit]

Spikes that are finished blooming? There are some orchids that can rebloom from previously bloomed spikes - some Phals, some Tolus, Psychopsis, Epidendrum come to mind ...

If you aren't sure if they might bloom again, you can leave them, or cut them - whichever is your preference.

By the length of the spikes, I think you may be talking about Oncidiums ? You can cut those if finished blooming.
