phal leaves question
what makes phals grow new leaves from the bottom instead of the top? i mean
most phals will grow their new leaves at the crown instead of new growth coming from underneath the older leaves. i have a few that are doing this, and am wondering if i am doing something wrong? --mo-- |

In my experience, that happens when the plant is either suffering from crown
rot or some other crown damage, or it is particularly happy, and it's another way of reproducing. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! ..

Also some Doritaenopsis have a tendency to do that, and then it's just a
natural thing for that kind of plant to do. I think it's called a basal keiki. Is your plant a Phal or could it be a Dtps? Also is the crown (top center) healthy looking or does it look like it is in trouble? Best, Joanna "Ray" wrote in message ...

My phalaenopsis "Mini Mark" does it quite often. Now I have almost four
divisions ! greetings from Poland Martha "J Fortuna" wrote in message news:v5ecd.3331$232.10@trnddc09...

the crown looks normal, leaves are healthy, and there's nothing that looks
like a keiki. one is a phal. baldan's kaleidescope ('golden treasure' iirc), and the other is p. mwafeng redjewel x dtps. taisuco firebird. i guess the dtps. background would explain it then. does anyone know offhand if baldan's kaleidescope has dtps in it? thanks so much for the responses.  --mo-- |

Nope. It's Phal Baldan's Kaleidescope, not Dtps.
