Update on my orchid that got smashed after a shelf fell on it- it’s growing a flower spike and still alive? I’m not quite sure how it’s managed to do that but I’m happy for it

They are absolutely not a wimpy plant. I have one I dropped (and more) is down to one leaf, tiny root (had root rot) and is still chugging along! Well done!

This one has also survived two falls down the stairs so I shouldn’t have been too shocked!
