So I have this phal schilleriana seedling, that has only one leaf left, and
now it is in spike. Should I let it spike or not? The only reason why I am
even considering letting it spike is that I do not know whether it is
capable of growing more leaves from its crown or not, and if it is not, then
maybe it will spike and grow a keiki on the spike? I do not have any
evidence of crown rot, but I have no evidence of new leaves from the crown
either (it has been a one-leaf plant since March). This is the phal that I
have been meaning to put into a sphag'n'bag cure, but have not gotten around
to yet -- it has not been getting any worse nor any better since March as
far as I can tell. I assume that the spiking is a last attempt at survival,
but if I let it spike and it does not keiki, will it be more likely to die
than if I cut the emerging spike?
