I found my spiking Phalaenopsis orchid on the floor today... it got knotted over by the cat... and the head of the flower spike is now broken...
It was about an 1/2" spike... and about half of it has been knocked off... will the spike grow back??? or my orchid has to restart again??
*signs* It took me so long to get my orchid spike again.. now it is broken...

Orchid spikes get broken all the time and the good thing is that they will regrow. However, the down side is that it will take a long time. Even as long as a year to grow and reflower. I'm sorry about your Orchid.

sad to hear that your phal. spike got broken, however if the spike left on the plant is still quite long, there is a possibility that your phal. will produce plantets along the spike which means more phals. for you! However, if you wish to re-bloom your phal... just take good care of it and it will bloom in no time...

you're able to attempt taping it to help the stem this continues to be linked. If it dies, it dies. If it does, only snip the spike off. it is going to continually flower returned in case you seem after it correct :)

give it a chance occasionaly the `spike ` may send out new flower buds.
