Default Project 4 spike

Yup folks, looks like a spike!! Hopefully it won't blast. This came with no spike, how many others have spikes?

Way to go, Julie!
What conditions are you growing it in?

Well, I guess the conditions are just right for all my orchids because I've not seen this much growing and blooming all summer. I can't believe all the new roots, growths and blooms on all my plants. I've got them under lights and the top self is about 76-78 and the bottom shelf is around 70-72. The humidity never goes below 50% and is up to 100% when I feed them or just water them. I foliar feed them every morning with either fish emulsion or sea weed extract. So there you go and by the way DJ there will be no plant abuse Happy growing all.

WTG...great growing. Keep it where it's at and it will get use to the environment and a blasting is doubtful.

I sure hope so, my Arengis puntata did most of it's growing (spike and bud) in the plant shelf and it just blasted. I was so upset cause I had waited awhile for it.
