Orchid cruelty!
Hello!
A nurse ( I call her Cruella orchid now ) who work with me got a phal as a gift from a patient. Beautiful plant with a long spike covered with white flowers. She told me she knew how to take care of plant, she had green thumbs! last night, I asked her how her orchid was doing and she told me , Oh it died! I asked how come and she showed me! That was horrible. She had decided ( because someone told her so ) to cut the main tronc ( about 2 leaves , that way the flowers will last longer cause they will get more energy!!!!) I asked her to give me the plant. I repotted the poor amputated plant in S/H culture, the roots are nice and green but the 2 middle leaves are missing! Do you thing new leaves will grow from the center of the plant? Claude ( nurse and orchid rescuer! ) |

Claude,
If she cut ***JUST*** the leaves, it might come through fine after some prolonged recovery. If she took the core of the plant with it, you'll have to hope for basal offsets.... -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! .. . . . . . . . . . .
