Breaking spikes is bad enough with going after the plant too! We learn to be more careful. But I have damaged 2 spikes myself recently. Not too bad but did reduce numbers of flowers. One is open now the other is still forming the buds.

My Phal cornu-cervi, is looking just great but hasn't really grown much, has a leaf that I cut off while unpacking it when it arrived in the mail. Is that why it is pouting and not growing?
