Crown rot, one of deadliest disease that can affect an orchid. even so, some manage to survive if the infection stops in time. However what will happen afterwards? will the orchid continue to live?
▼▼▼More info bellow!▼▼▼
Well in the case of monopodial orchids which survive crown rot, the most probable thing that will happen is the production of a basal keiki. This will in time become the main plant and its mother orchid will die within a few years. If the crown is destroyed, the mother orchid will not produce any other leaves, but focus its energy into its offspring.
The keiki will produce leaves and a new root system, but this might take a long time. However the effort is worth it. In the case of Phalaenopsis, the keiki can start to bloom within a year.
Unlike other monopodial orchids, the Phalaenopsis can even produce keikis on their flower spikes, so better not cut the spikes if dealing with a crown rot orchid.
