Is this group dead or is someone available to answer a question or two about moth orchids. I've been given one and have never had an orchid before.

Steve - Look up "Phalaenopsis - Orchids of the World", and you will find out a lot of interesting info pn these plants and how to care for them.
All the best.....Chuck.
We're not dead, but many of us have no access to UseNet anymore. We've moved to other venues. Stick by, and tomorrow I'll give you links.
Meanwhile, what is your question about Phalaenopsis? Those of us here would be willing to help.

How do you tell the difference between the beginning of a flower spike and a root starting?
I transplanted this from a little 4 inch pot to a 6 inch pot and now there's dark tipped white bodied shoots coming off the base of the plant where it's meeting the soil, and it's putting out a new leaf.

Flower spikes have nodes. Even a very young spike will show signs of these nodes. A root on the other hand will be completely smooth from the plant to the growing tip.
