Will it not bloom again from that spike if you cut it lower than the top node? Do you leave the spike as long as it is green, if it looks like it is going to bloom again or not? Thanks

I also want to know this… i completely cut my stem off and it never grew back. I was worried because the plant was in poor condition when I got it so I didn’t want it using energy towards flowering and to put it into the leaves and roots instead.

@@maddiesmenagerie8853 I cut all mine off down to the base! Early spring they all started a new spike! 😊 remember to leave them in a bright room but not in direct sunlight, repotting and cutting off old roots also helps x
