Update: Keikes have been Potted
Roots on the Keikes were all 3 to 5 inches in length. I snipped the mother spike at 1 inch from the root base and dabbed all the cut surfaces with cinnamon. Thank you estación seca for the suggestion to soak the roots. I actually soaked them for three hours and they became soft enough that I could flex them down into the pot. They are potted in well vented pots with Pinus Radiata bark and soaked them again for one hour. The leaves are stiff so they seem to be doing well. I test the leaves for stiffness and when they have softened a bit, I give them another soaking for about 5-10 minutes. Thanks for all the suggestions and support from Roberta and estación seca.
