gin i know it is called a terminal spike but i have also read that the plant will live it just will not bloom again. but then again with your amazing growing you do i would say the odds are in your favor.

Pardon my ignorance, but...
What is a terminal spike? I've never seen one. It's the death of a plant?  |

I hope you wait it out Gin. It should be pretty interesting to see what happeneds.
In the mean time, buy another orchid(s) to make yourself feel better   |

Wow that's weird
So what is a terminal growth? It looks like the birth of an alien.

Gin, will this terminal spike with the leaves eventually become a new plant?

Leaves cut on top Is this terminal too?
I bought a discounted beautiful smelling yellow Phal Noid. The leaves had been cut on the crown. In other words the top leaves were cut off and the bottom leaves were left. It has a flowering spike now. I'm hoping it will grow a keiki and that's why I bought it anyway. It has large thick roots but I wonder what will happen. Is this like a terminal diagnosis? |
