Actually, it is too early to tell if it is spike or root.

But I would vote for spike

There's a slight tendency to grow up, so I also vote for a spike!

It's months too early for spikes.

sorry to say I vote for root, but more roots make for better blooms

Please keep us posted so I'll know when mines have the same type of growth.

I have a similar nub on my rhy gigantea now too. I thought it was a root starting. Hopefully a spike!

cheers,

If the flowering season very close than could be spike but after the season usually hm root anyway that is great plant.
