Hi guys,

I bought this gratrixianum about a month ago. It has two spikes, one with a bud that keeps getting bigger and is growing happily. The other one is different though - is it a seed capsule? The plant is happy and growing three new fans.

That is just an ovary which recently lost a flower.
Depending on the plant, this ovary can stay looking fresh for over a month before dropping off.
You know it will be a seed pod when it grows bigger slowly.
Watch and find out what happens.
