It looks green and healthy, I would leave it but it is entirely your choice. I leave my spikes and I get blooms twice a year. Some of mine that were in bloom in Dec are in re-bloom now.

Hey winter girl, when you say you "leave your spikes" does that mean you cut them above the node, or just leave them entirely after bloom without cutting the spike at all? |

I leave them entirely if it is still green. Sometimes part of a spike will die and dry up, I trim it down to the next green node. Some say "if it's green, don't be mean". If your spikes are in the way and you want to trim them down it is your choice. I leave mine up. |
