I agree, let it do its thing or buy a bigger pot. I have a few office Phalaenopsis that I need to keep somewhat contained so I bought big clear pots (they were too big for the largest clear plastic...

I’d cut it off as well. My guess would be some type of bacterial infection. I’d apply some cinnamon to the cut to seal it up after removing the leaf.

I’ve had some of my Phalaenopsis produce terminal spikes too. They didn’t miss a beat. Instead of initiating a new leaf from the main growth, they initiated a side growth. The next year they either...

If the keikis have roots, they can easily survive but not in potting soil. You want a pot that just fits the roots (if the pot is too big it will tend to stay moist too long). Orchids breath through...

Nice save! Mystery orchids are always fun. I have a bunch of NOID Phalaenopsis gifted to us by one of my mom’s friends. I’ve had them for a couple of years and most are in spike now for the first...

I agree it looks like some type of peloric mutation. I’ve seen pictures of other white Phalaenopsis with similar flowers. It should bloom out like this consistently. Neat save!

I second the spider mite concern.

Also: did you repot the mother plant as well as the keiki? These sometimes dull and drop leaves after repotting especially if the roots were damaged.

I grow mine outside most of the year. I’ve been growing in small grade bark in clay pots. Whenever the substrate approaches dryness, I water. I tend to overpot these a bit so it takes longer for the...

Go ahead and repot if you want to. I like to grow mine in finer substrate because it fits better with my watering schedule: these don’t like to completely dry out. When the substrate is at the damp...

It looks like the parent is investing the bulk of its resources in the keikis. In nature the spike would flop, the keikis would root into the substrate, and then the keikis would start pulling their...

Condensation just means the air is still moist: this is what the roots want 100% of the time. But, the air can still have moisture when the bark is dry so if the pot feels light, the bark looks dry,...

The roots aren’t pretty but don’t look to be too bad. I agree with Roberta’s advice.

I’d recommend repotting to bark as well. The roots may have been staying too wet for too long in the sphagnum....
