thanks for your reply , I wasnt sure as i took a clean razer blade and sliced the plant in 2 ..forming 2 sections and i put some root enhancer jelly on the cut section to help repair the slice ,,,hoping i havent poisoned them . the roots looked very healthy but now i have 2 plants 4 phesdo bulbs but only one spike was present and now it is dried up and about an inch from base of the forks of the 2 leaves , and dont believe it will form a spike there again .
