For keiki survival, roots are a key element. The roots will support the leaf growth, and leaf and root health leads to flowering.
It's possible, even likely, that the keiki will bloom before it's ready to be separated from the mother plant.

I was right! Woot! Is there anything you can do aside from exceptional care to get one of your dearest orchids to produce a keiki? |
