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.

Orchid / Indoor Plant?
Yes, eventually, probably under perfect care within one year or so, if you want more instant gratification, cut the spike about 1 inch BELOW where the first flower came out. Chances are (if your plant is in good condition) that it will branch from the existing spike and make a few more flowers. Give it good light , high humidity if you can (maybe a humidity tray under the plant) and some orchid food (make sure you read the label on dilution etc.)
Good luck
Reply:With proper watering and feeding, an orchid will bloom again.... eventulally. Some orchids only bloom once in about 18 months. I have one that is just now blooming after more than 2 years.
