Default New growth on old Phal spike
Hello from snowy Maine! (yes AGAIN)
I got this phal last fall from Baldan's and it came with the old spike cut so as to allow for new growth. It has set dormant all fall and winter. A couple of days ago I noticed that the old spike was sending out a new growth. Is it a keiki or a branch? I'm guessing branch just because it seems to be growing out like a branch might do. But, it doesn't have the "mitten" on the end like a new spike has. This is a first for me and it's fun to see the progress it makes.
Any guesses?
Al

Could be either. Hard to guess at this stage.

It's a nubbin for now. A keiki will eventually present itself as a leaf (see the photo below) .. You are going to have to be patient and see what develops .. How exciting

Keep us posted

Hey... right now with my phals... I'm all about a good nubbin Especially when they turn out to be roots to replace the ones I just had to remove.
