here is a few pics...is this a spike or root???

also i have some black spots on the undersides of the leaves, is this from not enough air flow?

i think there is a root just starting too.

amcoffeegirl, the long growth on your plant is a spike. They can get up to 18" long so give it plenty of room. If you can put it somewhere so the spike will arch out and down it will give you the best display. The other small growths on the base of the plant are new roots.
Congratulations! You're doing a fine job of growing this plant.
