Here's an update of the Chen spike growth. Also, are these more spikes growing cos they be all pointing upwards!
The main spike is around 7 inches long now but there doesn't appear to be very many flower buds on there yet...

Are these more spikes growing????

I'm seeing a bunch of roots there, maybe a spike on the far left, but tough to tell. can't wait till she blooms

Yes, that one appears to have a different tip to the others.

Well I'll take 2 spikes. Nothing I hate more than seeing a bunch of new nubbins, and all are roots. Seriously?!?

I think all the new nubs are roots, that's what it looks like to me... except maybe the highest in the pick, just peaking above a new root nub.

Yes, that one seems to have a different coloured tip to it from the others. It would be fabulous if they had all been spikes.

For Sure. It's interesting it's throwing out some many new roots, 9 that I can count. Did you add anything, or did that chid just feel like ... branching out... sorry I had to.

I was hoping it would turn over a new leaf - you started it LMAO - but no, just fed n watered it.

I have several doing that just now. I am guessing that the warm weather the UK has had through April and May has had an effect. Kelo is a lot further north in the UK than me, not sure what his weather is like but it could be something similar... everything in in growth everywhere here
