| I received a small Phalaenopsis iris. My daughter bent/broke the stem about 2 inches below the flower and now it's dying.
Should I cut or snap the stem? If so, where? Will it grow back? |

| I received a small Phalaenopsis iris. I am not familiar with a Phalaenopsis iris. Per Wikipedia, "Phalaenopsis Blume (1825), abbreviated Phal in the horticultural trade,[1] is an orchid genus of approximately 60 species." You might try searching or asking at the forum linked below. Sue |

| If it is an orchid, cut it back underneath the flower, or in this case I would cut it back to the green. It might shoot out new blooms in a month or 2. If it doesn't flower or the flower spike browns completely, cut it all back to the base of the plant. |
