OmG I think my phaius is spiking

[johnblagg]

Finaly after three years my Phaius -Dan Rosenberg "tropical Ice" has what hopefully is a spike.The leaf base has split open and I see a new growth of some sort developing ...could be a new Pb but I dont think so ....cautiously optomistic on my part yet.

It has been growing one new pb off every old one each year so far and each has been bigger than the last but never more than one for each old Pb so far,and those have always been in the spring not fall so I am nervously waiting to see what I get .

I did change the growing conditions this year raising the temps the light levels and amount of water.I would be just as pleased to see two new growths from each old Pb too but so far I see just one so I will hope for a spike and two new growths later.
