What to do with Keiki

[ebr224]

Hi,

I have 2 orchids that both produced keikis.. One has one (or more) keikis that seem to be pretty large and I'm not sure if its ready to be on its own and also if I should seperate it from the orchard so it doesn't harm the orchard. The other seems to be just forming. Here are the pictures (The pic labled orchid1a-c are for the first orchid and orchid2 is the second). Any help would be really appreciated!!

Welcome to OB!

Sorry I do not see any keikis in the photos but I do see aerial roots.

Thanks for your help. Should I repot the plants and pot the roots or keep it as is?

How long has it been in that moss?

[ebr224]

I purchased them a year ago. Not sure how long it was in there before that.

In that case, I would remove the old moss and replace it with fresh moss. I would just leave it in the same pot. I usually don't suggest growing Phals in moss but you seem to be dong well with it. Once you have removed the moss you can then remove any dead roots. When replacing the moss do not pack it. Keep it loose.

After following Trudy's advice, be sure to put the arial roots in the pot.
