Plant recovered from root rot, has aerial roots and new leaves, but a branched spike with aborted buds remains. Cut spike at base now—energy should go to roots/leaves for a grander bloom next year. Species (e.g., violacea) doesn't change this.
On healthy plants, leave spikes while tips stay green. Cut when tip browns. Direct aerial roots into media or repot annually when root tips turn green (growth cycle start). Can trim dark basal stump if it hinders potting; dust cut with cinnamon.
