Unexpected Keiki

Interesting read but I imagine that keiki didn't make it. At the last post there were no roots and the spike was dried up. W/out additional nutrients to pull from the little one has no means to produce roots. It's the same reason we say leave a keiki on the Mother until the roots are a good 2-3" long...w/out Mama it won't make roots.

I'm not saying to throw out the spike...give it a try...have fun w/it...but don't be disappointed if it does not survive.
