Xref: kermit rec.gardens.orchids:50034
hello, phalaenopsis (in moss) have had 1 year which has grown a spike (~7 inches long) and has 2 buds!! (pink) (fairly large) is it necessary to support the spike / flowers? (with a stick / stake?) i am concerned about the well Fare of the plant (in other words is it beneficial for the spike / flowers to be vertical vs. semiHorizontal (it's ~ 30 degrees from the horizontal) and if so what do i use? thank you -- toAnswerSend2:userName:tjtmd domain:attglobal.net separate these with the at sign |
phalaenopsis bud / spike question
Hello Tanya!
When the spike is very long, like 12 inch and more, I do use a bamboo stick ti support it. Since yours is about 7 inch long and about 30 degree from horizontal, I wouldn`t use one. But it all depend if you thunk that the plant seems to be able to support it. Don`t forget in the wild, they don`t have stick! For the horizontal or vertical, I let the plant decide which way is better for her to show me her beauty!
