Orchid bloom alert! Earlier I posted here about a phalaenopsis orchid I purchased from a local store that had an odd leaf structure, which I later realized was a terminal orchid. And voila, she bloomed after all. In fact, this one bloomed so large and so fully, that I’ve had to stake the plant three times to continue to support the weight of all those blooms!
I’m not sure yet if I will try the methodology of using a growth paste for orchids to try to generate a keiki, but for now I’ll just enjoy the gift of blooms for as long as they last. I’m watching those additional blooms to come to see if I might have to add still additional support to hold this heavy spike up as the remaining blooms open.
