Default Cristata 'crisis'

Hi everyone,
i hope someone can give me some advice here!

Due to a very hot summer and me going away for a month, my Coel. cristata hasn't gotten enough water over the summer (my mother came to give them a good bath once a week). When i got back, i went back to my normal watering routine and 3 weeks later, I noticed new growth on it, while it had already sprouted 14 new bulbs 3 months earlier! I'm afraid I'd given it a bit too much... Normally the plant blooms in the beginning of february, but I'm afraid I can forget about that now! Am I right..? Should I just keep treating it like during it's normal growing period? i'm so used to my plants yearly routine that I'm not sure what to do now

Are you sure the new growth are not spikes ? It could be the time it starts growing them...

If it's a new growth then keep watering until the growth matures. If it's a spike you can lessen the water slightly. but don't let it get too dry, cristata likes to stay on the moist side.

Hmm, I am starting to doubt now new growth and spikes look so much alike at the start! I'll just have to look and see what he decides to do
