Can you divide a Phalaenopsis?

Question

Please tell me if you can Divide a phalaenopsis.

How do you do it?

Answer 1

Only if the plant has developed an offset. This very seldom happens with hybrid phals.

Watch the flower spikes. On occassion, phalaenopsis will produce a keiki instead of bloom out of one of the nodes. These can be left on the plant until they develop their own root system and then potted up.

Answer 2

The best time to re-pot or divide Phalaenopsis is just after flowering. If you decide to start growing these wonderful plants rather start off with a mature plant in full bloom. If it decides to die, you would have at least had a plant in flower for three months to enjoy.
