Phal with keiki's after crown rot recovering?

[OrcishOrchids]

So I bought what was sold as a mini Phal at a grocery store, and a month after it develop crown rot (long story)
I treated it and observed for another month. It had lost its newest leaf but was growing lots and lots of roots. Another month and still no new leaves, then it began putting out these little lopsided keikis. Now the keikis have flower spikes but half-hearted leaves, and the mother plant looks great except for not growing any new leaves. So I'm wondering if the crown was so damaged that the plant decided to grow keikis as a failsafe? How old/how big should the keikis be before I remove them? Or should I leave them in place indefinitely?

I don't think the plant makes decisions about making new growth. A natural mechanism or process is occurring - such as, if energy is no longer used, or can no longer be used for new leaf growth, then that energy could be channeled towards other activity, like plant propagation - producing new growth somewhere else.

As for cutting off a keiki for propagation - it should be safe to cut off after some significant leaf growth has occurred, and when the roots are relatively long, like a couple of inches or more. The more the better maybe.

Those keikis need to get much bigger - to the point that they look like mature plants - to have a good chance of surviving on their own. By the time that happens, you may realize that it's better off staying together, certainly will improve the likelihood of flowers, especially in the next few years. (Yes, time scale is measured in years, orchids don't do anything fast)

So basically just ignore it for awhile, cool, I can do that
