Should I cut orchid spike after blooms die?

As a general rule of thumb, if the orchid's bloom spike stays green after the bloom has fallen off, leave it there. The subsequent bloom will probably bud on the existing spike. If the spike turns brown and dies, cut it off.

The subsequent bloom will come from a different nodule. Most orchids, like the Phalaenopsis, have a single main stalk that has leaves protruding from either side. New leaves form in the middle and the stalk grows out.

This is the kind that produces the re-blooming spike. A couple of varieties have pod-like growths that generate new leaves after a bloom, and the whole pod and leaves die out after it blooms. These generate a new bloom spike every time it blooms.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
