orchid spiking twice


Question
My moth orchid has two flowering spikes at the same time.  This has never happened before.  Do I need to fertilise more or just let it be? Thanks Carolyn

Answer
Lucky you Carolyn.  It is not unusual for a phalaenopsis to send up two spikes-- especially on a large, healthy plant.  Just let it be but don't forget to repot it in fresh orchid potting mix after flowering to ensure the continuing health and vigor of your plant.
