It's genetic. I'm not sure if it has a purpose other than stabbing me in the face as I'm walking through the greenhouse. Those things can be sharp!

Thank God for tons of yard space and a huge greenhouse with a 12 foot high section solely for my hanging vandas.

Just some advice, try to give watching for spikes a break, they will drive u crazy waiting and watching. Oh, and fertilize your vanda everyday. Watering before fertilizing so you dont build up salts. But everyday! Until it starts to get cold again. Thats what i do, and i have rampant and serial spiking.
