I found my spiking Phalaenopsis orchid on the floor today... it got knotted over by the cat... and the head of the flower spike is now broken...
It was about an 1/2" spike... and about half of it has been knocked off... will the spike grow back??? or my orchid has to restart again??
*signs* It took me so long to get my orchid spike again.. now it is broken...
Broken Phalaenopsis Orchid Spike? :(?
Orchid spikes get broken all the time and the good thing is that they will regrow. However, the down side is that it will take a long time. Even as long as a year to grow and reflower. I'm sorry about your Orchid.
Reply:give it a chance occasionaly the `spike ` may send out new flower buds.
Reply:sad to hear that your phal. spike got broken, however if the spike left on the plant is still quite long, there is a possibility that your phal. will produce plantets along the spike which means more phals. for you! However, if you wish to re-bloom your phal... just take good care of it and it will bloom in no time...
