Phalaenopsis Spike Pruning & Repotting Timing

Green Spikes: Cut Above a Node

If old spikes are still green, cut just above any node. A new branch may emerge. If brown, cut off at base.

Repot After Flowering, Not Before

Don't repot while waiting for blooms—disturbs roots. Repot only after flowering finishes, or if leaves drop (root rot sign). Annual repotting maintains health.
