I sent a video response, I hope it works. Let me know if you get it and what you think. Is it a spike because I SEE NO ROOTS YET! THANK YOU, STAY WELL!!

Great information because I always wondered how much light that is suitable for orchids. Im getting a new one soon.

Oooh so beautiful how your orchids are growing indoors...Mines has stopped blooming and most of them are at the attick to overwinter...I have a few in the livingroom that are still blooming and bought four new ones...I learned a lot from your video's..thank you for sharing. I enjoyed it every time...I bought a Miltonia and the flowers scented like fresh apples..

Well I am going to try and take a close up picture and see if I can put it as a you tube response. I have never done this. Then you can see if I am correct. And if so, I am on the right track with my orchid! thank you, stay well !!

Well, I changed the orchid medium, and watered it nicely about 10 days ago and it looks like I also have a 3 inch primary spike on a keike growing from the old spike, but I still do not see any roots, just some hardy leaves. so I should leave it until I have roots right??? But when will roots grow? I am so scared now!!!! you have beautiful orchids, thanks for this video, stay well

Wow! a spike and a keiki! Love to see a video or picture of it! Dont worry about the roots, the keiki is being fed by the mother plant, you have to wait, and when you have a few healthy roots you can transplant the keiki. Keep going with the watering and fertilising a good light exposure. Doing great.....

@sooneaty This morning I took a close look at the plant and now I see that a primary spike is growing from the original orchid close to the old spike. That sounds great to me. A new primary spike, a Keike and a spike on the Keike, now I just need some roots to grow on the Keike. Thanks for your response, stay well!!
