You are going to need to protect that flower, netting, maybe?

#### Dena McK replied on 2026-09-08

I’ve never heard of that, will have to research. 😊

That's beautiful! How did you get it to bloom again?

#### Dena McK replied on 2026-09-08

Nothing special really, watched root color very closely, a little liquid orchid fertilizer, and I repotted about a month before I noticed the baby spike.

Yayy 🙏

You are going to need to protect the flower, because there is a little person climbing up the flower stem!
