to let spike or not to let spike?
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? Joanna |
