#MiniPhalaenopsisOrchid Discussion

I had a lucky (or unlucky depending on how you might view it) find today! I was initially drawn to this mini phal’s peloria (a genetic mutation whereby the petals often take the shape of the bloom’s lip) and noticed she had an apical (sometimes called a terminal) spike. This means that the spike has grown from the crown and the plant won’t be able to grow any more leaves so essentially, it will die in the next few years. BUT plants with apical spikes often produce keikis (a genetic clone of the mother plant) as a way of surviving and it is this that made me decide to take a chance on her, even though I’m not the biggest fan of white blooms! I’ve wanted a keiki for so long! The care is the same, so I just have to keep everything crossed that she decides to make a keiki! At the very least, I hope it will be a learning experience for me. @MusicalRedmint have you had experience with apical spikes? #PhalaenopsisOrchid #OrchidLovers #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Orchid Appreciation

Yep. It happened. I bought an orchid. It was MINI and I love mini things, so I had to, bless my little heart. πŸ₯² 🩷 Meet Chims. (Daughter named her.) She may be mini, but she still be mighty. I have no idea what I'm doing, taking care of her, so I am off to do some research and add to my little book of plants. Any tips are appreciated here, as I welcome any advice from orchid owners that know their stuff. ✨ #orchidlovers #orchid #orchidorg #greggang #greggers #happyplants #plantaddict #plantsmakepeoplehappy
