i think i may have a spike on my neo. falcata 'setsuzan'. it a banded neo. i hope someone can tell me wether or not i should be excited

[RosieC]

Difficult to tell, but I think you could be right.

[trdyl]

It is either a spike or a keiki. I am not sure at this point.

[Call_Me_Bob]

either way its a good thing!!

it looks like the other pikes did, and i has that mitten. but we shall see i cant wait for whatever it is! ifits a keiki, what would i do then? can i leave it there? so it will be like another fan?

[trdyl]

Yep. Either way it is a good thing. If it does happen to be a keiki then you can either separate it later on or just let it keep on growing into a larger specimen. I personally like multi fan plants.

[Call_Me_Bob]

so a keiki is the same as a fan? i thought fans came from the bottom. i also like larger plants better than single fanned plants and such

[trdyl]

With Neofinetia, they do usually come from the base of the plant but are not limited to that area.

[Call_Me_Bob]

ohh, good to know!

[DelawareJim]

A little hard to tell, but great growing either way.

Cheers.
