novice orchid question
My husband gave me an orchid for Valentine's Day. It's a Phalaenopsis
orchid and it's beautiful. I have gotten several new flowers over the months and they last a very long time. My question is this: will this plant continue to flower from the single stem (getting longer and longer) or will it ever grow a new stem? The current stem has gotton quite long and sort of ungainly looking. It is growing a new leaf at the moment. Thanks Jane |

novice orchid question
This sounds like my phal. It has a fat root hitting the side of the pot, I
think its growing a branch off the root so it can go over the pot. I've repotted already this year its in bloom. I'm not going to mess with it.

Yes, it will grow a new flower spike, most likely in the late fall. Also,
you can cut the current one off just above the last node before the where the first flower was and it may make a new branch from there. Jerry "Carol" wrote in message om...
