Phalaenopsis Root vs. Spike Identification on Wall Divider

Root vs. Spike Visual Guide

• Root: green tip → gray/white body, grows down.
• Spike: all green/reddish, flattened "mitten" tip, grows up/out.

Florida Culture Adjustments

Wall divider >4 ft from window = too dark. Move 3–4 ft from E/S window. Weak weekly feed. Fall: 55°F nights ×2–3 weeks to trigger spike.

Downward Roots

Let them grow into pot. Mist if exposed.
