I have a Phalaenopsis that I picked up at an orchid show about a year ago. I have the parentage on a tag if that is signicant to my question. Anyway, about 2 months ago it started to send up what I thought was a spike. It turns out that it is a baby plant coming out of the stem of the Mother. I know that Phals can form keikis on the ends of spikes, but I've never seen an baby come out of the Mother plant like this. So my question is: is this common or what is going on with my plant? Perhaps it has something to do with its parentage?
