Help!!! Baby on the way-Keiki + other beginner questions

[Miadunn]

Hello all! I am new to the Orchid World but I have to say that I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts while trying to learn more... I have several questions but wanted to begin with an orchid that I bought last summer. I had previously owned an Orchid but quickly killed it as I did everything wrong and really don't want to kill this one! When I bought this Phal. it had huge white blooms and the woman told me to cut the spike after it was done blooming to try to get it to flower again. I did this but with no results and the steam stayed green all Fall so I just left it. I had read that you should repot in the spring so I was waiting till now to repot the plant. In the meantime, I got very excited when the spike started showing some growth. After researching, I think I have a Keiki forming. My question is should I go ahead and repot the mother plant leaving the Keiki until the roots are 2-3 inches? Or just forget about it... I am unsure if the little nubben is a spike or a root, as I haven't seen a spike "mitten" before.






In addition, when I was at Home Depot yesterday I couldn't resist buying an Orchid as they were so cheap. This one is two plants in one green pot with Spagh as the medium. I plan on making one big order to RePotme.com, in which I am buying new medium, clear pots w/ nets, and Physan 20. Should I wait till the blooms are done to re-pot this one???





One more thing...Any thoughts on Superthrive vs. KLN for my purposes? All the articles were so mixed. I am just doing this on a small scale in my home-not to the humidifiers and grow lights stage....Is it even worth it buy for just my 3 orchids??

Sorry I threw so many questions in there!!! I would be so happy to hear your suggestions on what I need in my Orchid Arsenal for a beginners stage....
