Phalaenopsis (Orchid)

RWALCORN2 asks:

Question

I've had my plant a little over a year. It's rebloomed several times, but now four curly, tubular shoots with shiny dark tips have sprouted (not flower shoots). What are they and what do I do with them?


Answer

From the sound of it these are just air roots and should be left alone. The air roots may extend over the pot this is not a bad thing they do not need to be trimmed or tucked back. Since you have had several blooms already it sounds like your Phalaenopsis orchid is happy and you are taking good care of it. Many people who try and grow orchids never get a second bloom.
