Help I hurt my Phal's spike...

[Garnet415]

Hello everyone....I am new to your board and of course here with a question that necessitates me finding some help.

I have a phal in spike and it has been doing well until today... I deceided to move a clip on the spike and I heard a "snap", "oh, $#%&" was the next sound.

So, it appears that the spike broke maybe half way though but when I let it go it totally closed back so that the wound it not exposed at all.

My question is should I just leave it be and see how the spike does over the next few days, or should I cut it down to the next node and hope for a new one. Any advice would be greatly appriciated as I am totally upset over this.

Thank you for your help,
Garnet
