She came with some lovely long roots that were all rotting at the base and fell off over the next 2 weeks, after which point I put her on moss in a humidity dome. She’s been in it for a little under 2 weeks, started growing a new root on both sides (“front and back”) within the first few days. This morning there is a new nub between the 2nd and 3rd leaves. I can’t imagine what would make her spike in this state (virtually rootless) so I have to assume it’s another root and she’s planning to reabsorb and drop that leaf soon, but damn if that location doesn’t make me secretly hopeful for a spike 😅 #PhalaenopsisBellinaOrchid #PhalaenopsisOrchid

Wow, what a journey she’s been on — and huge kudos to you for giving her the best shot at recovery! 🙌 That quick root response in the humidity dome is such a great sign. And honestly, that nub between the 2nd and 3rd leaves would totally have me rooting (pun intended 😄) for a surprise spike too! Either way, whether it’s a root or a spike, she’s clearly telling you she’s not done fighting. Keep doing what you’re doing — you’ve got this, and so does she! 💚 #OrchidWarrior
