Sedirea japonica

[tom499]

Can anyone tell me what their spikes look like at the early stages?

Mines a small plant, but theres a green bump coming out and it has a slight node like top to it.

I find it hard to believe its flowering as its grown no leaves since i bought it.

The appearance of roots and spikes on a Sederia is not unlike that of a Phal only in miniature. Inflorescences come form the crotch of a leaf while a root will come from beside or under a leaf.

Thanks kmarch, I think it is a spike. Its still abit early, but it looks similiar to a phal spike, and its growing upwards, and has a slight node like bump, compared to roots which have a continous round shape.

My mini terriarium may be working This is the 2nd little beauty to spike since i put them in.

Yeah, it sounds like you probably have a spike going. Good for you! You'll like the Sederia blooms. They're fragrant.
