“Mine rebloomed on the old stem. I never cut it off,” one person said.
Another said: “Mine rebloomed after four months and I did not cut off the spike completely.”
Someone else added in: “[Mine] always rebloom a few times on the old stem. It’s a lot easier on the plant as well. I have 30 orchids and can say both ways will bloom but keeping the old spike is faster.”
And an additional user said: “I cut mine off and have yet to get a new spike.”
