... and the freak phalaenopsis gets weirder...

Remember that Phal I was talking about earlier, that had a keikei growing from where a second spike should have emerged from on a spent spike? Well, there are three leaves on this little plant, and from the center/crown of this "Plant" is a flower bud.

I WILL take pictures when this starts to develope a bit more... If it starts to make a nose dive, health-wise, I'll take a picture quickly, just to have a record of this...
 
Id cut it if I were you your Keiki will develop faster if you do so.

Peace

Il y a quelques problems avec ca...

One, I don't wanna kill the flower bud.
Two, I don't have anything to plant it in just yet...
 
Cut the flower so the keiki resumes normal growth
then plant its once its got roots roughly 3 to 4 inches long.
a 3-4 inch pot should suffice.

Peace
 
It's kind of difficult to cut

its like...

Wedged right in between the leaves... Its not nearly open yet... Um, also... It has no roots on it, so would I just wedge it in between a few pieces of bark, or into some sphag?
 
Just wait it will starts to produce roots.
then transplant it. I wouldnt do anything with it if it hasnt got any roots aside from cutting the spike that is.
 
So, do I leave the keikei up on the stalk till roots come out?
