    Red face Rescued Miltonia!

    I have been given a Miltonia, (Noid), and it has old flower spikes on it. They are brown and dry. should I cut these off? I have searched everywhere for an answer!

    Yes clean up your new plant by cutting off the dead spikes. Remember miltonias like it cooler and like more water than other orchids. Good luck with your new baby.
