Tornado damaged Orchid

[Jeffery]

I had put my Orchids outside on my AC unit, it was a beautiful, calm day and I live on the 2nd floor, so anyways! I left town and some bad weather had blown through while I was gone, 4 tree's had blown on the building here, my Orchids were blown off the AC unit as well, this was the worst one, the leafs busted off these bulbs and broke a young spike, will these bulbs grow new leafs? and do you think will happen with that spike?

they wont grow new leaves but they will make new leads and regrow in time ..the spike I have no clue

If ever get an award and get to name that plant, it could be really interesting! That's an amazing story. I would say that orchid has a thirst for life.

Thats a Dendrobium of the Phal type Orchid Connie, you can name it if you want, will she did get a new pot and growing medium, since there was none when I found her, she is recovering well.

Thanks John, I was hoping another branch would grow off that broken spike, guess as long as its green I will just leave it be.
