Young phalaenopsis with conjoined twin? (seedling with a keiki?) Female
Default Young phalaenopsis with conjoined twin? (seedling with a keiki?)

Hi there!

I've just joined in hopes of better understanding what's happening here with one of my young phalaenopsis plants.

It was deflasked on the 7th of October 2020 and is a hybrid (Lea Marie Salazar x Mituo Prince “BB”). It is probably one of the strongest seedlings to come out of the flask, but has a very peculiar situation.

It seems to be a conjoined twin -- or, at least, a seedling with a keiki already.

It came out of the flask 'conjoined' and has continued to grow as such -- it's not a matter of it being two plants tangled up. They grow from the same base, appear to 'diverge' after about 4 leaves. There, the plant splits into two apparent crowns with a weird 'shared' leaf dividing the crowns. Both crowns currently have new leaves starting to grow. There are also plenty of roots popping out down the center of the plant.

Excuse the Paint job, but I tried to outline the shared leaf and label the two crowns.

Any thoughts on what's going on with this one? Should I expect it to eventually divide into two plants, like a 'mother and keiki' situation?
