Penny,

Yes, that's a keiki. I've got a few on a SOGO GRAPE that's doing the same thing, although mine are much smaller.

My plans: Wait until the roots are 2"-3" long, carefully remove the plantlet (maybe even cut a little below, 1/2", of the existing stalk) and plant it in a small pot. Mine is growing is spagh also, so the keiki will also go in spagh. I'll watch the new plant carefully for a few weeks/months and keep it with the rest of my phals. Would expect blooms in maybe 1-2 years on the new plant, next bloom cycle on the mother plant. In fact my GRAPE is sending out a new spike and has 3 kiekis on 2 other older spikes, seems to handle it just fine.

Hope this helps and good luck,

Bob

Thanks for the help. I'll wait for roots. I don't know why my first keiki died which was a few years ago. I may have removed it too soon. I hope to do better with this one.
