*sigh* Of course it would have to be one of the few orchids in my collection that I actually consciously chose and searched for, as opposed to snatching up all starry-eyed whenever I passed something in the store or found a special online. It's one of the more expensive ones, too. I'm experiencing a lot of Murphy's law-type situations in my orchid journey.
The only thing I can think happened was over-enthusiastic misting coupled with less airflow when I moved it to a spot I thought had better lighting for the spike. Some of my other phals have started leaning over more naturally, but this one is quite upright.
I want to save it. I'm toying with buying some keiki grow. Has anyone had good results with this? Some of the reading I've done seems to indicated that hormone-stimulated basal keikis can be kind of deformed and never grow their own roots?
