My First Orchid

A friend gave me a Phalaenopsis with 13 blooms on it. I can only keep it in my computer room because I have many cats who love to attack flowers. About two weeks ago, I noticed a little bump on the main stem that the blooms were on. I have watched a new leaf sprout with the little feeler. I am so excited, and am trying to get up nerve to put this new creation in a pot of it's own. Any help?

Jean,

I a happy to see you good fortune here. Do not replant the orchid until it becomes pot bound. Be sure to use an orchid mix when you do. Good luck!

Regards,

Brent Campbell
