Hi, everyone. I'm new. I'm writing because, for the first time, one of my phal orchids is growing a new spike from the bottom of the plant. The original spike has a stake, but I'm not sure what to do with the new one. The root system of this plant seems very established, and it doesn't like there is any good place to stick in a new support. I went out of town for a week, and when I came back, the spike had already gotten a little curvature to it. It is still soft, so I was able to pull it up and twist-tie it to the established spike, but this doesn't seem like a good permanent decision. This is a rather large, impressive orchid, and I don't want to mess it up by doing the wrong thing. Any advice y'all have would be wonderful. Thank you!
