What ever you do, leave those spikes alone and put down the snips.
Good luck!

i have a rhyzome clip on it now, because the growing medium is not packed in so tight,..i didnt clip it before but it was pretty stable in the pot because i had packed it in very tightly, probably too tight, so there wasnt any air circulation at the roots at all...maybe thats why the bud blasted,..i dont know,..
but the plant seems ok...no new growths yet but it has 4 bulbs and leaves,... one leaf got burnt in the sun a month ago when it actually had a flower, had to cut it in half to prevent the damaged part from rotting...its now protected from any direct sun...the leaves otherwise look fine,
one question though,....this is a psychopsis mariposa green valley,...the psudobulbs are wrinkled some, not totally smooth, is that normal?
...i know that some other psychopsis have wrinkled bulbs, but i read somewhere that mariposa should not be wrinkled but smooth and round-ish,...these dont seem so wrinkled that it concerns me,..they are still pretty thick and hard and green,...they are not flatened and very wrinkled like i see on some other psychopsis.
