I'm waiting for my camera to recharge so I can post pics, but has anyone else seen a phal type den spike from the base of a cane?
The growth is very small, but I am 99.9% positive that it's a spike. This plant has been in recovery for 6+ months after a cold spell killed the roots. Since then it's produced one keiki which has already gotten big enough for me to pot up, and it started on another keiki about 3 weeks ago. So at this stage I know what the keikis look like when they start - you can see the two little points of the top leaves nearly immediately, and they're smaller and greener.
Anyway, I'm pretty confident it is not the den's swan song - but I could be wrong. When I removed the first keiki I checked the roots and it was growing new ones. I've also been misting it daily with water and a very diluted foliar feed and I thought it was recovering nicely. Does anyone think I should check the roots again maybe? I really don't want to disturb it again so soon, but I'm also curious.
Update: here's a pic
