broken spike.
I bought some seedlings back in Feb and they are in 3 inch pots and all are growing well, I found this guy though and it has finally clicked whats happened, it is a Onc. ornithorhynchum and it has tried to grow a spike but the tip has got stuck and broken off, not sure why but at least the little guy is trying to bloom. I am a little sad it broke but its a good sign it wants to bloom already

Carrie...that sometimes happens. At times it could be secondary to low humidity. How is your humidity level?

my humidity is about 40 % I think I need to check it. It is on a humidity tray but Its possible thats the cause. Thank you for the reply. I didnt expect it to bloom this year so I will wait for next year and hope it doesnt happen again.

sorry that this has to happen to your orchid. maybe it'll put up another spike later to
replace the one that has been lost.
