    It is unusual. Basal keikis usually come out from the side, at the bottom, instead of from a leaf axis. Hopefully it will not kill the mother plant.

    Oh, I didn't know that keiki can kill the mother plant? Well, I'll keep an eye on it, and if mother starts to wak, I'll remove it..

    How often, and why that happens?

    I think you might have a flower spike instead of another plant.

    Edit: Opps. Guess everyone else did too.

    Hmmm... Byt look, isn't that a leaf starting to grow?

    I've needed a lot of time to make a pic like this!
