    Yet another of my daughters unnamed purchases from the discount plant rack lol. I have had about 5 yrs and can't even remember what the flowers looked like however a few months ago it started to have this weird new growth on both stems. I dont know what to do with it because it sort of looks like new plants are growning off the old stems. Does anyone recognize this orchid? And if so know how to properly care for it?

    Hi,
    I am not an expert in orchids. I have some orchids at home. I think your plant is a type of dendrobium and the new growth is actually a keiki which is like a baby orchid. You can detach these keiki from the mother plant and put them in some new orchid media to get more orchid plants. Hope that helps answer your question =)
