Typically 3–6 weeks per spike.

Growth habit

Pests & prevention

Signs of trouble
  • Mushy roots → reduce watering and repot in fresh dry medium
  • Yellowing leaves → check light levels and watering frequency
Grower's tips
  • Consistency matters more than perfection — pick a routine and stick with it.
  • Air movement prevents most fungal and bacterial issues.
