I need some advice on an orchid I have that has a new plant growing from between a couple of leaves at the top of the plant. The new plant has roots and looks perfectly healthy. Do I take it off and put it in orchid growing medium, or leave it attached? The 'parent' plant is also in good health.
If it’s a ‘keiki’ all you need to do is wait until the new roots develop and then pot up separately. Here is a link that shows you, step by step, how to do so:
Thanks, I did check the easy orchids site and it was helpful. The orchid is a Dendrobium, and I can't remember what the flower looks like. The keiki in the photos is different from mine, but I'm guessing the directions will apply. Thanks again!
