"Q: After my phalaenopsis orchid bloomed, I cut the dead flowers off at the bottom of the last bloom. Now I have two leaves growing where I cut the flowers off. How can I remove the new growth and keep it alive? ... A: Keep the orchid in moderate to bright light. Water and fertilize it normally. The baby plant on the bloom stem will eventually make roots. When the roots are 2 inches long, you can cut the new plant from its mother and pot it up in orchid soil [medium]"
