Orchids

Root or Flower Spike?


How to tell the difference?

ROOT
– Thick single-point tip.
– Fat.
– Silvery body and bright green tip.
– Usually grows from the body of the plant**

FLOWER SPIKE
– Slim, double-point tip (Mitten shaped)
– Deep green colour, often with brown shading.
– Exclusively grows from between leaves.

There will always be exceptions, but these are some pretty good guidelines!
