Have a NOID Phal with unusual growth
Hi! I'm completely new to everything Orchid ☺ I do believe I'm already addicted though lol.
Anyways my first question is...what is growing under her leaves? I'm trying to save a Phalaenopais for a friend. It seemed to be in really bad shape when I got it at the beginning of this month. I repotted her in bark and put some sphagnum moss on the top to try to keep it moist and get some root growth. When I got her she had 2 growths below the leaves which have grown quite a bit in the 2 weeks I've had her. 1 seems to be a leaf and the other growth above it I'm not sure what it is but it's nice and green and has also grown since I've had her. I've googled and searched all over trying to find out if leafs growing at the bottom of the crown above the roots is normal or what but can't find anything. Wondering if anyone here knows what's going on?
2nd question is... How many new leaves does a stressed out and extremely neglected Phal grow at a time? Everything I've read says Phals grow 1-2 new leaves a year typically but this girl has 4-6😮 I don't know maybe I'm wrong and she isn't a Phal or I just don't know what I'm doing and this is normal?
