They are certainly beautiful. I wish my husband would go to the orchids and start pulling some out!! Instead, I get eye rolls and smart remarks!

I'm not sure if there is any way to encourage multiple spikes, or branching from one spike. I think that's just something some of them do. I think some of them are bred to have 2 spikes. I have one that had 2 when I bought it. I'm not sure if I'll get 2 when it spikes again. Just have to wait and see. Give it the proper watering and fertilizer. Make it happy and see if it will give you the branching and the double spikes. Someone with more experience will chime in and help better than I have.
