Black magic new growth

[Ashleyma23]

Thanks for the extra information and picture.

Yes I do believe it looks like a bulb.

Too big to be a root as I know what roots look like.

I'm not sure how the spike nubbins look like as I bought this already with them grown.


It has the form of a small bulb.

So this means it doesn't get a rest ?

Once the flower spikes are spent I want to reply in s/h.
Do I keep watering ? Keep fertilizing ?

More help will be appreciated as this has caught me off guard.

Thanks again.

You're going to want to wait until it becomes apparent this is not a root before you make big plans. I'd wait until dormancy to repot; whenever that may be.

I have not heard of or seen these in s/h, so I can't help on that. Millennium Magic is notorious for not wanting to go dormant but I force them by stopping watering completely by 1 January every year. You can research further on Sunset Valley Orchids website for pre-dormancy treatment.
