Phalaenopsis lobbii

Here is someone I was ready to throw away on several occasions, but every time was letting it stay:



Phal. lobbii has bad-hair day everyday. New leaves would come out damaged from the beginning and I could never figure out how to grow it. I tried to mount it, grow in a clay pot. Finally I just stuffed it into small net pot and hanged on the wall of the orchid tank.

Now it seems like the plant grows something beside the new root - a spike or a keiki:



The thing is so small that looking at it with bare eyes I thought it was just fat root split into two parts. With macro lens now I see that it is a separate growth.
I hope it is a spike.
