new stalk of flowers?

[Yanglik67]

I noticed recently of new growth that seems to be new stalk of flowers. But it is from the sides. Am i correct?

[Yanglik67]

And i also noticed that a root is growing up the plant. Should i be doing something about it?

I can't tell by your picture what type of orchid you have. We would need that info to comment on flower spike. I wouldn't worry about the root

[pavel]

The roots will do as they wish -- including driving you crazy. heh

Ron is quite correct ... we need to know what type of orchid it is that you are showing us. That growth could be a flower spike or a new pb.

Maybe this is a cymbidium back bulb. Not a flower spike - that would be a miracle. Sorry to disappoint you. Just nurture that new growth, and some small number of years down the line, the plant can be strong enought to flower for you.

Geoff, so jaded! Rolling on the floor laughing! (ROLF) So true! But we still need a larger picture, or name of the plant.

BTW, I was guessing Dendrobium

[Yanglik67]

these are the last few surviving ones. I had this plant for slightly more than two months now

[Yanglik67]

Yes it is a dendrobium
