Kiki has a spike....break it or keep it?
I have a kiki that has been sloooowly growing "a" root for the past few
months, but now its also grown a flower spike about 4-inches long. The root is about 5-inches long and I've not wrapped it with spaghnum or anything...its just "out there"... Question: will the flower spike sap the energy from the kiki and should I break off the spike,...or leave it alone? The parent plant also has two spikes and is in great health. Thx. -dkar |

dkar,
Personally, I'd leave it on but give it some support. You can do that with a stake. Make sure to give the keiki roots water when you water the plant. Diana "News" wrote in message ...

Thanks Diana!... especially for the watering tip -- I guess I've been
neglecting the little one. :)) "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message ... dkar, Personally, I'd leave it on but give it some support. You can do that with a stake.
