Help With Growths On This Phal
I have a Doritaenopsis/Phalaenopsis plant that is showing growths I've never seen before. First, the plant is probably not what my tag says, I took a guess and also needed a way to identify it, so probably ignore the tag. It has the following growths (see photos).
-A large leafy looking protrusion on the bottom (I guess this is a keiki? I'ver never gotten one before)
-A weird bulb shaped protrusion alongside the probably-keiki
-A growth (maybe a spike?) along the lowest node from the previous spike
-Perhaps yet another spike at the top node on the previous spike
The larger leaves protruding from the previous spike were there when I got the plant, when it was in bloom. I didn't think much of it at the time but I gather from research that such a large leaf on the spike is unusual.
Anyway the plant seems healthy so I guess there's no problem here, I am just curious bc I've never seen an orchid grow this way. Thanks!
