I get quite a drop in night temps too so thanks for the info. I'll be away from home for a few days several times and I always notice the changes in growth so much more when I return. Better than staring at them every day watching them grow

I just snapped the spike clean off on my bigibbum hybrid.... I was moving plants around to make some space, and I hit the spike with a pot. And the buds were just starting to show color too.

Oh, I'm so sorry about that. I did that with a miltoniopsis. They seem so crisp and snap so easily. What a hearbreak.

alley, the spike is still progressing. It's about 4 inches long and the buds are tiny, but just starting to sort of separate up the length of the spike. The spike started in late or mid Sept. I would say I likely have to wait a few more weeks for blooms if not more. I am growing it cooler than some would as fall is here and it is in the greenhouse. I will post pictures when it blooms.

Ok, sounds great. My first den spiked about the same time as yours did. It's only a couple of inches long, but there's also 2 new spikes that have just formed. I'm excited to see what your den looks like once it blooms. Thanks for the reply!
