Default Keikis or spikes?

Can anyone tell me if there are any keikis in these pics or is it too early to tell? There are some obvious spikes but I'm not sure about the remainder...

Kelo,
Still too early to tell on most but you do have one spike.
Just be careful if you used Keiki Pro on this. That many possible spikes or keikis can stress your plant if it isn't big and healthy. I know cause I did the same thing on one and within a matter of a few months the plant was toast cause it was putting all its energy into the keikis. None of the keikis made it either cause they weren't big or old enough to have roots. Watch for signs of stress like wrinkled leaves and such.

Good Luck with yours tho! Hope it does well for you!

I expect that if any of mine are keikis they should have roots in the next three weeks or so, maybe a little longer, I'm not sure.
