Phalaenopsis Branching Spikes: Sign of a Strong, Happy Plant

Multiple Spikes + Branching Spikes = You're Doing Great

Two main spikes + branching "offshoots" with buds? This is a SUPER-FLOWERING event. Your plant is stronger than last year.

Let it develop. If too many buds, plant self-aborts weakest. Your job: support with good care.

Suzanne, this is a milestone. Your culture is producing a specimen plant. Enjoy the abundance!
