keiki paste surprise
I rescued this NOID plant from a store when it was out of bloom on Sep/27/2008. I tried to take care of it but after it put up a spike the buds blasted due to underwatering and it got infected with something. This was around Dec 2009 so it had already been nurtured for a year. I decided to chop off the infected areas leaving the plant with less than 1 proper leaf. I figured it might not make it so I applied some keiki paste to the unused nodes to see what would happen. Here's the result. It has bloomed from a branch and I can see a leaf coming from the tangled mutated mess; proving once again that these phals are hardy buggers. She sure is a keeper. If she makes it that is.
