Note to all - thanks for your comments, but the deed has been done. No way in this tiny apartment can I leave a non-blooming spike sticking out well past the edge of its table! Someday a new spike...

Thanks - I plan to cut it down, too - I can't imagine leaving this 'tree' poking out into the room - I've been ducking the pointy ends for a month now!

I have three orchids, two of which are ordinary and always the bloom stem withers immediately after the last bloom falls off. My big one (that had 42 blooms up to a month or so ago) also usually...

The chips are still quite crispy as far as I can tell - I poke my finger down a hole or into one of the holes in the pot - the leaf seems to grow daily, and yes, I looked up what a basal keiki is and...

That's good to know - however I would still like to know if it is safe to slice it off. I have no desire to start growing another orchid - I'd have to move out - and it would take years for it to...

I don't want the baby, and want it off the main plant so it doesn't suck out the nutrients. I don't know if it's got roots, haven't looked underneath! Just want to know if it's ok to slice it off...

I don't know what a basal keiki is! This one is a Phalaenopsis...and it's never been repotted since I got it and took it out of the wet moss pot it came in - I put it into 'orchid potting chips'. ...

thanks, RosieC, I'll note that and keep it in mind when repotting any older orchid - I have a 'what to do' binder and your tip will be entered! Thanks again.

Speaking of rescued plants - if this isn't veering off the thread too much (tell me where else to go if it is, please)...I rescued one Phal. with what I guess was crown rot. It had one greenish root,...

I read another post that said soaking for hours might help, but I think I'll follow your advice and just leave things as is. If the airy roots get too inquisitive, I can tie them back gently so they...

Re-potting Phalaenopsis using same big pot

I was over in Advanced and in the discussion about foliar watering, but then the conversation led to repotting.

My Phal. is huge - just finishing blooming. The down-growing root system is like the...

Hmm. My next comment would be that I have no idea how to extricate Blanche (yes, that's its name) from the holey pot.

Regretfully, repotting is not an option - I do not have room for a larger pot in my very limited-space condo, and it will just have to manage. The pot would have to be smashed, too, as the roots have...

New growth of leaves beside main Phalaenopsis

Somewhere way way back this was mentioned, but I can't find it. I have two leaves growing nicely about 2" from the main plant - from a root I suppose. Now they are kind of fun to see, however I...

Roots,Phalaenopsis, what to do with outside roots

1 May I cut off those roots going to the humidifying area?
2 May I trim the rather wrinkly roots at the top? They aren't dead, just thin and tangly.
3 Should the roots aiming upward be redirected...
