Neuropathy (Nerve Damage). Nerve damage from diabetes is called diabetic neuropathy (new-ROP-uh-thee). About half of all people with diabetes have some form of nerve damage. It is more common in those who have had the disease for a number of years and can lead to many kinds of problems. If you keep your blood glucose levels on target, you may help prevent or delay nerve damage. If you already have nerve damage, this will help prevent or delay further damage.
Since other orchid varieties will not bloom again from the same flower spike, you can cut their spikes back to the base of plants after flowers fall.
After your orchid has bloomed, you can do a couple of things with the spike(s). After the blooms have dropped off, you can leave the old spike alone for a while. Keep on feeding your orchid as usual. Sometimes a new spike will sprout from the old one and develop new blooms.If the old spike does not generate a new spike and blooms, in all likelihood it will turn brown and die.fter the blooms have dropped off, you can leave the old spike alone for a while.
