Jean, It sounds like a keiki is developing. I would expect it to have at least a small leaf as well. If not you could prompt the leaves to grow with a product like "KeikiPro" which is available online. That is if you would like to have a new plant. Just wait uhtil the combined length of the roots are 4 inches long. Then cut or gently twist it off and pot it up. It would be labeled the same as the mother plant. Good luck, Lee
