My Epi is showing 2 types of new growth. It's at least consistent. The first type of growth (what I'd expect to see on this plant) comes as new shoots off the sides of existing arms. But the weird growth is very prickly and is growing out of the ends of tips that I'd snapped off several months ago and stuck back into the dirt. I'd read somewhere that snapping off the ends would encourage mroe lateral growth...and since my plant was just half a dozen really long arms, I figured it couldn't hurt. And being the type to never be able to just throw such things away, I stuck those 1 inch tips back into the soil and figured if they rooted, great, if not, no big deal. Well, they all rooted and now 3 of the 4 are showing this weird new growth unlike the growth on the rest of the plant.
Here's a pic of a "normal" little pink growth bud (I've got 18 of these so far that are growing like mad):
