I have an orchid plant, and it has grown quite a bit since ive had it. it has bloomed many times, but the stalk is getting very long and starting to put strain on the base. can i trim them like roses, do i have to cut the bloom off at a special point? also, i planted it in soil, which i read you arent supposed to do (it still has bloomed) because it is meant to be planted in spongy like material. any suggestions?
Orchid care?
Is it a Phalaenopsis?... Most indoor gardeners interested in planting this orchid use green wires to anchor the stalks (its green so it'll look like some stem!)...
When the blooms of your Phalaenopsis orchid have faded, you can cut the spike above the highest node. If you are lucky, this will cause the plant to develop a new flower spike or even a keiki. Keiki is the Hawaiian word for “baby” and an orchid keiki is a small baby plant that can be placed in its own pot.
You should never plant an orchid in soil... Thank goodness it has not rotten yet!... Change the medium to pine barks or coco-peat and sphagnum moss... Good luck...
Reply:You need to know what type of orchid it is.
