That's not a root is it? That thing below the spike.


Just checking on my sanity. Could it be a damaged root?

Actually makes me think of a damaged spike or an old spike.

Agree with RosieC. An old or damaged spike. It's not covered with the transparent gray green tissue of a root.

That's what I thought.

I got it with the bigger spike a few weeks ago and didn't notice the little one when I repotted it. Might have been there, might have not. I've never seen a secondary spike grow below an existing one so I wasn't sure.

Think it will grow and bloom?

Yes, Rosie is right... I've had this happen a couple times, (I broke the spike, or got damaged during shipping, cat knocked the plant over, etc) whatever the cause, it's a spike that got damaged... At least you have another spike above that one tho!

...I can't help with your sanity either, b/c like James, I also question mine from time to time Lol
