I'm delighted to see that catch me unawares, one of my Phalaenopsis has
put out a new stem with several buds on it. It's sprouted from where
the old stem was cut back and it has been sitting on a kitchen window
sill, facing west and theoretically, in a room that is much too warm.
But maybe the steam in a kitchen has made it happy, though I would have
thought the Aga sort of wiped that theory out too! The last one I had
in the same spot has been flowering since before Christmas and is still
going strong. Admittedly, these are the easiest to grow (I'm told) but
I haven't potted them on, bar one and they get watered once a week, if
that, with water straight from the tap. I picked this one up to water
it today and suddenly noticed the new stem with about 6 buds on it -
nul points for observant!
