First Phal...to keiki or not to keiki??
I was giving my first Phal as a gift about 18 months ago and fell in love with it. I was tempted to try my hand at getting it to rebloom and low and behold a few months ago (most likely by shear luck) it happened. My success has emboldened me to take a deeper look at growing this orchid and possible adding another one to my collection. While reading up I noted that my phal seems to have two keikis growing from it original shoots. One shares a bud with nice flowering shoot and the other one actually has a shoot of its own which now has a couple flowers of its own. It's been blooming for almost two months now and I want to know what my next step with this plant should be. The keiki have good leave growth but no routes to speak of. The mother plant appears to be pretty healthy as well. Is there anything other than time for roots to grow in I should do to this plant?
