Phalaenopsis Penang Girl

I am very good at breaking the top on any phalaenopsis plant: mature or seedling, fully grown leaf or just tiny curled start. This one was the most annoying: I broke the top with new leaf start on the very first day after receiving seedling of Phal. Penang Girl back in summer.

The fact that this hybrid was on my wish list adds to all the grief that I went through. The same fact and also nice healthy roots made me keep the plant even though usually I don't bother.

After some while I noticed that broken leaf started to come out some more and now - there is a new growth:



There is also new root showing on the other side:



It looks like my Penang Girl might survive, so I decided to log it in.
