That's giant! How old is this plant?
Although they are monopodial, they do occasionally branch. You need to let the new stem get quite large (at least three leaves) before you divide it into two.Is this a keiki?? Or just new leaves on a weird spot?
It may grow back from a dormant bud.Yesterday I found out that one of my phals has crown rot, all its leaves fell off
cheers DarrelThe old leaves stayed green (and I nearly binned it a couple of times), but after 3 years it eventually grew a new leaf rosette from further back along the caudex.
I like Vanda type orchids.and it just so happens that I visited an orchid farm.
Yes. That one looks nice because it's more of a tourist attraction. Here is how a more authentic farm looks like. I was there a few weeks ago. This is west of Bangkok where a lot of the orchid farms are located.Now that's the way to keep orchids!
Can't say. I know little about orchids other than they are beautiful and mysterious.I am guessing mostly hybrids and almost no species
You never want to let them get dust dry. I water most of mine weekly even in the winter, I just don't give them as much water.Is it true you completely let them dry out then generously water?
