Thanks PetSlayer.
Thanks Kmac. The tip of the root still looks a bit pointy....I will keep an eye to see if it becomes "mitten" shaped. Its right next to the old spike so I don't want to cut the old one down yet. I'm afraid I will harm the plant. Also, when does one attach a stick to keep the spike upright? Sorry for all the questions but this is my first time growing an orchid.
