Question
After the flowers on my phalaenopsis orchid fell off, I cut back the stem a few inches.  It is now growing long roots and large leaves in two sections of the stem.  Can these be cut off and replanted?  How do I get the main plant to bloom again?  Thank you.

Answer
Jamie, you may remove the keikis with a small twist where they join the flower spike.  These may be potted up in a separate pot.  The mother plant will either send a branch flower spike at a node on the existing flower spike or it may do its annual rebloom from the base of the plant where a new flower spike can originate.
