I would also like to add that it had some smaller roots that were white, with green growing tips. They looked like Oncidium roots but there was only a couple and they were growing out of the medium. Thats also why I thought it was an orchid.

The roots are very deep green right now because it got soaked in rooting hormone.

Do any other plants do that?

What I have read about Sansevieria (mansoniana fits the visual) fits the description of this plant but I haven't been able to find any information on the roots, and thats what made me think orchid. The spike it has based on the location looks like Sansevieria.

I took a picture of the roots emerging. They are coming out where the new growth is, right underneath it. The tips are light green. The roots now have a rough white, scaley look to them and only one is green and its in contact with a piece of perlite.

Here are the images that made me think (probably more so hope =P) this was a Psychopsis:


Not my image: a spike

Not my image: new bulbs


Not my images: roots

It had husks around the bulbs but I ripped it away when I was spraying it down. I tend to take the husks away from any bulbs to make sure bugs aren't hiding there. I also cut leaves and dead bulbs out. The sheaths had papery nodes kind of on it, too.
