    Hi i too think it will grow a new leaf,
    I received a phalaenopsis yesterday from a courier and it has suffered the same damage as yours.
    I would recommend keeping the crown dry when watering.
    Ciao Nicola

    Thanks everyone! It's definitely a clean break and there's a little bit of tissue in the middle. However, I'm not sure if that's the base of the leaf that broke or not. I guess we'll see what happens in a few months if a new leaf shows up or a keiki develops. Either way, the plant is still able to produce a spike, correct?
