Good Evening,
Very new Orchid "grower" here... my boyfriend bought me a stunning white Dendrobium Orchid (though unsure of any other details) whilst it was flowering.
Since then I repotted it with 'house-plant' compost that I had, and have read that I should probably not have done this...
However, over the last week the Orchid has started sprouting at the bottom. I assumed originally that this was the dead leaves beginning to re-grow, however now looking online for info I'm wondering if these are Kiekos?
The plant came with one large stem (about 1+1/2 feet) and one secondary small stem (only a few inches). This smaller stem was also flowering, and now seems to have another new stem also growing from it. The larger stem has dropped all but the top few leaves too...
So, firstly I guess I'd like to know if the sprouts at the bottom on the large stem are new growths, i believe they probably are as they have what look to be tiny roots growing underneath.
Should I re-pot in more Orchid favourable compost?
Any other info/tips you have would be very welcome, excited at the prospect of this re-flowering :D
Thanks!
