A Strange Flower Spike Question
Default A Strange Flower Spike Question

Hello fellow orchid lovers! Today is my first post! I'm fairly new to orchids, just bought my first one a year ago. It was in full bloom, went through its dormant cycle starting in Sept '18 then began growing a new spike in March.

Very excited I watched the growth everyday, however there was something strange occurring. As the stalk grew, it seemed like the top part of the stalk was stuck between 2 leaves. I wanted to assist the plant, but then I thought, hey this is nature, the plant knows what it's doing. And I didn't intervene. I also didn't want to risk breaking it, so I left it alone.

Well, I came home one day and noticed the stalk grew so much it broke in half. I pulled the stuck part out from between the leaves. And boy that really was stuck! So it's been about a month since that happened and I'm trying to get it to rebloom again but that stalk died back and no further ones have emerged.

The only new growth it has is 4 new air roots that came out of nowhere. And a bunch of new roots forming off of old ones. No new leaves, that stopped in Sept as well.

So have I missed my blooming window? Did this trauma knock the plant back and it's the waiting game again? And lastly, is this common?

Thanks for any help!!

Jen
