My first attempt at orchid pruning

Aww. My orchid finally ran out of gas, or at least the flowers did. They lasted until the end of June. Six months!

Supposedly, I can get another spray from the same stem. Just cut it at the first node down from the spent flowers. Or cut it two or three nodes up from the base. Hmm. Comes out to the same thing.

So I gave it a little snoop. And…

(One week passes. The stem continues to shrivel.)

Nope.

I guess I should let it get back to work on the new leaf and new roots it’s sprouting.
