Vanda shoots spike or keiki please?
OK, so the three vandas I bought are starting to show signs of life. Well, two of them are. The really brutalised one that arrived with half the leaves rotting and the roots like a rat's nest has just dropped all the damaged leaves, but as yet that's all. The other one with the poor roots has root spikes appearing all over the roots, and two big fat roots emerging from the stem.
The one with the good roots has also burst into life.
It is showing the buds of 4 roots off the stem, and from the base it is showing three bright green shoots that are clearly not roots. Now are these flower spikes, or are they three basal keikis?
