Onc. Aka baby 'Raspberry Chocolate' is it a spike? Female
Default Onc. Aka baby 'Raspberry Chocolate' is it a spike?

I bought this Aka Baby 'Raspberry Chocolate' in July this year. Advertised as near flowering size I was happily surprised with a massive plant on arrival, placed on the floor it was hip height on me. Im 5ft 3
There are two mature bulbs on the plant increasing in size as the plant has matured. It has three maturing growths.

I noticed a split in the leaves at the base of one growth and saw something growing. On further inspection this growing point had split through two outside leaves.
Watching this new growth I can now see the beginning of the new bulb sitting behind it.
I was told flower spikes would initiate from the bulbs, but I wasnt expecting this splitting of the outside leaves.

Is this a flower spike?

This splitting of leaves is happening on one of the other growths too. On the third growth the leaves are split but I can't see any new growing point yet.

As I checked it today one of our jumping spiders scared the living daylights out of me! Harmless but fast spiders. With checking more carefully I also found a tiny slug...urghh. Hiding right down where the leaf joined the bulb. Guess his dinner of new growing points won't be happening.
Despatched!
