Grows suprising fast though. A week ago none of this was there..Now red tentacles are appearing evrywhere  |
Hi Ken, those are the new roots, the plant seems to like your place
. Just leave the roots as they were, they'll find their way to grow around the pot.

The flower of this plant died like in a week after i got it but would like to ask if this is another flower coming up. If so is there things asides from the obvious which i shouldn't do which would effect the flower stalk/bud?
BTW the node i'm talking about is the one of focus.

Can't see it clearly. BTW if the bud is green then it should be a flower stalk, if it appeared red with light green tip, then it is a new root instead. Again, just leave it and do the normal watering, insecticide spraying and fertilising.

Oh yea i use a fish emulsion fert for it with NPK values 9:2:6. Would it just ame it grow leaves or will help induce flowering too
Sorry for the long thread  Just excited

NPK 9:2:6 mainly induce leaf growth, for flowering purpose choose a fert with higher K value.
Is this the first orchid you have? Be careful, you'll got poisoned soon enough
