MITTENS? That is what I wear on my hands when I get cold during the winter! 😆 What does it mean to look for a mitten shape to differentiate a new phalaenopsis spike compared to a new phalaenopsis root? Sometimes, mitten like shapes, don't even appear on a phalaenopsis spike and it looks like a phalaenopsis root at nubbin stage. If you are a phalaenopsis grower and love the anticipation of seeing if your phalaenopsis is growing as spike, then I have sooo many visual appealing examples of what to look for without having to guess,.. is it a mitten or is it a root? What does a new phalaenopsis spike look like? Do all phalaenopsis roots come out of the centre of the stem? How do you tell the difference between an orchid root and a spike? What is the difference between orchid roots and flower spikes? #phalaenopsisspikevsroots #orchids #orchidcare #beginners orchid, #how #howto #distinguish #differentiate #whatisthdifferencespikeroot
