@drdawg - So what is really going on with the stem on the dollar orchid? Is that a bud or will it eventually be a leaf? It doesn't appear to be growing a branch off the stem. Also it looks like another is forming where the stem is growing at the tip. I don't even know how orchids are generally propogated. I just avoided even trying one for so many decades that ignorance is rampant. The new leaf is good sized now, but while the roots are going gung ho there is not a hint of another leaf coming along.
