Epidendrum Orchid

[Shiffdaddy]

I recently went over to someones house who had about 5 different types of Epidendrum Orchids growing. I asked her how i would go about propagating some and she said. Oh Let me show you. So she went to her plants and started breaking off stalks with roots coming out named "Keikis" (from my research) Now i took all of these home and replanted them in an orchid potting mix. I buried the roots, cut the flower stalk off them all (to hope for an increase in root production) and ive let them sit watering them with a 16-8-19 water soluable fertizlizer once a week. My question is. Did i do this right? Will they start rooting soon and how will i know? How will i know if they did not root and are dying? Thanks for any info.

Sorry for double post, I just thought it fit in both areas.
