My first Phalaenopsis orchid formed a flower spike! I call it a success :)
It isn't even half a year old, and it seems like it has adapted to the new hydroponic environment quite well.
The other ones I bought were in a bit worse condition and struggling a bit more.
This specimen, one with pure white flowers, has been growing quite a bit over the last weeks and regenerated a lot of healthy roots.
Many of them were rotten initially.
Now, in the last week or so, there has been a new secondary flower spike forming on the primary one I didn't cut.
Because this one was in a better condition, I didn't cut off both spikes, only one, to conserve more energy for vegetative growth.
