Spike After
should i cut orchid spike after blooms die?
i have an orchid that looks exactly like this http://www.rv-orchidworks.com/orchidtalk/attachments/phalaenopsis-oncidium-intergenerics-bloom/19152d1243005520-phalaenopsis-taipei-gold-gold-star-x-phalaenopsis-deventariana-treva-1.jpg
it is still in bloom, but i am wondering, should i cut the spike off once the blooms die? i have heard that some orchids should not be cut and i am not sure if i should cut mine or not. thank you!
As a general rule of thumb, if the orchid's bloom spike stays green after the bloom has fallen off, leave it there. The subsequent bloom will probably bud on the existing spike. If the spike turns brown and dies, cut it off. The subsequent bloom will come from a different nodule.
Most orchids, like the Phalaenopsis, have a single main stalk that has leaves protruding from either side. New leaves form in the middle and the stalk grows out. This is the kind that produces the re-blooming spike. A couple of varieties have pod-like growths that generate new leaves after a bloom, and the whole pod and leaves die out after it blooms. These generate a new bloom spike every time it blooms.
