Mother with New Spike?
Default Mother with New Spike?

ok, so this plant it's going on 2 yrs old. Last year, put out a new leaf but went to Sleep afterwards. This year as I'm waiting for a spring batch, instead put out yet another leaf and two nodes started to open. Next thing I know, it's two Keikis instead of branches for new flowers. You can see the Keikis and one of the two has developed great roots, the other one is kind'a lazy. Now I discovered what looks like a new spike coming from between two leaves. Here's the kicker: Few months back I was going to repot when I saw she had root rot, but when I saw the Keikis I panic 'til I knew for sure were babies or new branches. I followed advice to repot Mom asap, and now there's that bright green and what seems is a new spike. I am new at this, and I'm learning as I go. Should I let Babies with mom? the way nature intended? or when is time should I re-pot them. I would like to keep them together. I should mention, this plant has never lost a single leaf. The bottom ones are the original ones and even with root rot, they didn't turn yellow and died?! bottom ones are kind'a limpy due to rot but still going. It's weird. oh I added a CLOSEUP of the root?/Spike? this thing has me puzzled.
.. new update: THE kEIKIS ARE GROWING on their own very well and Mom is doing excellent with new roots and leaves. Today I found this lil green thing between those leaves. Is that a spike? or more roots as B4 see pix attached. Thanks? ps- the last pix is what I'm referring to
