Anyone seen leaves on spike after cutting
MrDavee3 5 months ago
i just use nice sharp garden scissors.but be sure to flame the blades. I have been growing micro miniature orchids under 4 -2 inches

I did the cut as described but after about 2 months I have new leaves growing from the closest node up 12" from the base & at the base. I suspect that it will not spike from above these leaves? So I should cut back to 1" above the base?

Anybody know whether it's ok to use (sterilized) kitchen shears to cut the spike?

Another question: You were very expressive about the cleanliness of the cutting tool to prevent infection/viruses. But what about after cutting? I've seen two different people recommend coating the cut end with cinnamon, as a natural antiseptic. Have you ever tried this?

My orchid started with 6 flowers. After they fell off, I just kept watering it every 10 days or so, more like 14 days during the winter. Well, when pre-spring conditions were starting, the plant started creating new flower buds off the existing spikes. I ended up with 17 flowers!! I didn't trim *anything*. I was hugely impressed. But... now I'm concerned about how much I really need to prune. Is it generally right above the last node of a healthy looking spike?

@MEAGLOGENI You can cut it after the flowers have bloomed and most of them have fallen off. If you look at the spike and there are nodes that are still firm and green, you can cut above a node (if your plant is mature/strong) to have the flower rebloom. But if the nodes are papery or brownish, go ahead and cut the spike at the base to encourage the plant to focus growing new leaves and maturing. Hope that helps!

Okay, I have seen many videos on 'where to cut a branch off' but none that say when and if I have to cut a branch off after the orchid has bloomed! Can someone help?
