help on phalenopsis tetraspis
 

i just recently purchase this phal from a nursery, its in a down condition so tot of trying to rescue it. the leaves are yellow green but there is a spike with two bloom coming. i removed all the hollow roots and leave the healthy green one behind.
my question is should i sacrifice the bloom so that the plant will conserve energy to regenerate or should i leave it there?

How many roots were left ? that will decide if the spike should be removed or not If it has just one root I would remove the spike . The Yellow green is not a problem was receiving high light at the nursery . I have one it gets medium light but not direct sun . Hope this helps a little .. :)

it still had about 5 roots left, i included two photo here as well. seems like i still get to see the flowers after all. thanks for the info. :)

Looks like 5 very long, healthy and happy roots to me. As Gin already mentioned, the pale leaves may be from being grown in higher light. It might also be a nutrient deficiency if it hasn' been getting much fertilizer.

All in all, that looks like a healthy plant. Enjoy the blooms! :) And I'd love to see pics once it does bloom!

Looks great...let us know when the lovely blooms appear :cloud9:

ok and thanks.

sorry to say this but the actual owner of the phal tetraspis took back the plant before bloom ...so can't post the picture ( was actually helping my friend to nurse the sick plant initially, since there are new roots growing the owner wants to 'discharge' the plant...:rofl:

Didn't you purchase it from a nursery? Anyways, maybe you can persuade the person to send you a photo that you can post here? :biggrin:

sorry, posting on behalf of my friend that bought it from the nursery, but anyway thanks for all the help. will ask for the pic and post it when if i got it.

looks good to me!
