Unusual Spike Growth on Phalaenopsis?
I bought a NOID phalaenopsis a ways back on impulse because it was cheap due to being out of bloom and the roots looked good. I trimmed the tip of the spike to encourage a rebloom since I didn't want to wait for a second spike to see what colors the blooms would be. When a second shoot began starting, I peeled back the scale it was under (someone told me that was a good idea, but I'm not so sure now), and managed to damage the shoot a little bit. Now, rather growing straight out, there are a couple of branches off the new shoot and it looks a little odd to me. However, I'm not very experienced with orchids. Does anyone know if this type of growth pattern is normal or due to being damaged?
