Pora Mini Phalaenopsis Orchid Direct sunlight NE 4.0" pot Drainage Terracotta Indoor Near heater View @PlantyPlanter's Oasis Posts About Pora Is this a worm/parasite π₯ Hereβs my orchid for #FreshLeafFriday ! @RJG Any tips are appreciated! β€οΈ #OrchidLovers this was the only color like this that they had! It kind of looks like yours @KiKiT ! I wanted one with the color as closely as yours #MiniPhalaenopsisOrchid Discussion I had a lucky (or unlucky depending on how you might view it) find today! I was initially drawn to this mini phalβs peloria (a genetic mutation whereby the petals often take the shape of the bloomβs 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 wonβt 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 Iβm not the biggest fan of white blooms! Iβve 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 Journey Mini Orchid Save/Repot Dehydrated?
