Oncostele Wildcat will. not. stop. blooming. Has been in bloom since early November, rebloomed again off the same spike. Flowers finally faded and now seems to be putting out another flower spike on the same bulb. Is this necessarily an issue? I was hoping for a new pseudobulb this growing season.

pictures 1 and 2 are November, 3 is the best shot I can find of it reblooming and making two new spikes off the previous one, and this week the inflorescence finally turned brown so I cut it off, and it seems like ANOTHER spike is coming out of the same pseudobulb. Should I keiki paste it? Remove the incoming flower spike? Is it fine to keep flowering?

    sorry if this is a “oh no my steak is too juicy” but I’m a little concerned that it may not produce new vegetative growth this year

    Up to you!! That is one happy Cat. I would say there is virtually no harm to the plant if you want to cut the spike. It is only going to save energy for the plant to put up even more blooms later.
