Coring Phalaenopsis?
I've heard of coring (removing the growth point), or decapitating cactus and succulents to stimulate offsets and new growth.
As I eye my oversized Phal, I can't help but wonder--if I did bring myself to cut the top off, would it tend to grow a basal offset? I'm talking cutting off the top of the stem and leaves, not the flower spike.
OK, probably a dumb question because I'm not likely to cut up a healthy plant, but I'm wondering if this would work and if anyone's tried it.
Thanks
