Kiekie on cut phal stem?

[wgama]

I cut all the stems off my phals this summer and put them in a glass of water. All of tem rotted except for one and the nodes are swelling and one sprouted something. Could thes be keikies?

Yeah, a pictue would be good. It sounds hopeful but can't really say without seeing them.

Ok heres some pics:
Here is the first node on the stem-its kinda swollen-

Here is the second node on the stem-little bud thing-

And here is the node at the end-

Are they kiekies?

It looks like a keike, is that a little leaf that is forming?

The second and third pics look like they could be keikis to me, especially the third.

Could be just another spike, hard to tell what they'll be at this stage. They always wind up being spike for me.

I hope their kiekies that would be cool!

Wow Winston,

I don't think I'll ever cut another spike off and just throw it away again. When I think of all the ones that may have grown keikis...well, I won't go there.
Thanks, I learn something here every day .
