Unimaginable Growth

I posted this mini phalaenopsis orchid with its pink flower last August. I show you the present state here. I payed attention to keep the temperature over 15℃ during the winter. 

This plant has three types of root. The three green roots near to you are natural ones when we see plants. They are growing directly into the soil. Other two types are beyond my imagination. Never have I seen a root coming out between an upper and lower leaves. You can see two long roots on right and left sides growing towards the ground.

To my surprise, the third type root is growing into the air ! What is it doing?? I checked internet and knew that this one catches moisture in the air.

蝴蝶蘭的根長得很奇怪。

Now the orchid has four or more buds. It will take long time to bloom because the temperature is still low until mid April.
