Thank you Susanne,
But trust me, mother nature is the boss here.

I've followed what the "orchid people" have said, and made sure I haven't over or under watered the plant and don't get direct sunlight on the plant.

I saved this orchid from an empty/rented house. It was left behind.

The Keiki:
First, what size pot for this size Keiki?
It has 4 roots, 1 is about 21/2", another about 2" the others 1-2". But the roots are flat tooth pick thin. Should I wait for all the roots to get longer? One doesn't have far before it starts growing into the soil. (the soil is a mixture of bark etc.)

Appreciate any advice.
Peter

Azhael,
This is the bottom half of this dend', that might be like yours, if so then I imagine someone here will help both of us out as to it's exact name, or there about.

Default will this work?



Hi everyone,
I hope your all doing well, instead of IKE.

I cut the Keiki, and potted it in a pill bottle, 21/2"x2" cylinder.
Why, because it was so small, yet the roots had grown to a length, and a 3rd leaf is starting to grow on a short stem.

I don't know what will happen, OH, I drilled 5 holes in the base, and 1 on each side. Also I just intend to leave it outside with the others. Is this wise?

Hope it works,
Peter

OK, I was going to disease but it's about this orchid.

It is in full bloom, I've taken a Keiki off of it (it's growing).
I water it once a week, and I leave it outside with 3 other Phal's.

My last water was Monday, but today I noticed a white film (like a paste), moss, fungus, starting to cover the top of the filling.

New to this, I don't know what it is.
Would a simple solution be to scrape the top of it off, then sprinkle it with something? It's the something that gets me.
Appreciate your help,
Peter
