They said that with this species, it needs a cool condition to initiate spike. That is whats been going on in the past, spike comes out in December when the night temp is below 20C.

This time the spike came out after almost 2 weeks of rain. Well, it was a little bit cooler but night temp was still well above 20C and daytime about 30C. Not cool enough. Does this means that the "cool condition" theory/fact (whatever) is now out the window?

I hope this spike will bloom, but I wouldn't be surprise if a keiki will appear at the end of it instead of flowers buds.
