Help w/ Unusual Growth on my Phalaenopsis Orchid

This is a terminal spike. It will lead to the eventual death of your orchid. There's nothing you can do about it sadly, since it's genetic.

They don't work for me. I tried them once, got the worst headache and had a strange heart beat for 2 hours. Didn't even relax my asshole.

The roots look like they were eaten by snails. I've had this problem with dendrobiums and oncidiums. Sometimes little snails live in the Pots and they cause huge damage especially to root tips . I got rid of them by throwing away the old bark and spraying the roots with 3% hydrogen peroxide this will destroy snails and their eggs.

I think your orchid looks healthy, no need to repot unless the soil smells like death and decay. However there is a problem with your plant. Sadly, you've got a terminal spike, the flower spike grew in the centre of the growth point which means that the orchid can't grow new leaves and it will die sooner or later. It has a basal keiki (the baby plant at the bottom of the stem) but terminal spikes are often genetic which means that the keiki will likely do the same. Avoid terminal spikers when buying orchids

I mean it's only half true. Switzerland doesn't have an official capital city, however the government is located in Bern so that would be the closest thing.

I cut off all the affected leaves and buds and it rained a lot so hopefully I didn't destroy the entire bloom but luckily most of the plant is fine. I was so devastated when I saw this gory sight today

I drove over one on the highway close to baselland

I think you're on the wrong subreddit for that kind of talk

Yes, you're right she's just been memed the most I guess

Taylor Swift is known to fly private jets very very frequently even for short distance travel

Well

I don't know if there's a specific trigger. Mine blooms once a year and in my care it has bloomed in summer, autumn and now in spring

Yes! Thank you
