Hi,

Today I noticed a new growth on one of the external roots of my
phalaenopsis. It's small and pointy, so I'm assuming that it's a new
root. Is it normal to grow a new root from an old external root? Or
could it be something else?

Mike

Good news - generally only happy plants put out a dense root
mass. Bad News - sometimes if the main root is cut or damaged
the root will branch and abandon the damaged part of the original
root. You will have to wait to find out which, But G new roots
are not normally bad news - at least the plant is growing roots.

Have a good and safe holiday everyone.
