Orchid / Indoor Plant?

If you cut the entire spike (main/long stem) of a Phalaenopsis orchid (the way the only think left from the plant would be its leafs) will the spike re-grow? Leafs of the plant are green looking fresh, healthy and thick.


Thanks

Orchid / Indoor Plant?
If you want it to bloom again after the last blooming, cut the stem just above the 4th node and it will send out another shoot and bloom again in time.


And to keep you leaves free of brown spots always make sure that you remove all water droplets from them, In additon to changing your soil about once a year or just after they bloom will make you Orchids a much happier plant.
Reply:I am assuming the orchid has already blumed - if not - do you know that this spike holds the flowers. My orchids blume from around Christmas to March. Do not remove the spike if the orchid has not blumed. Wait till at February and see what happens. After it blumes, cut off the the spike and a new one will grow for next years flowers
