Is my Bulbophyllum with a keiki? Female
Default Is my Bulbophyllum with a keiki?

Hello, guys!

Well, I left my Bulbophyllum Louis Sander at my parents while I moved to another state. Now I came to visit them and my father asked if we should separate and repot the new growth on it. Indeed there is a new growth on the stem along with some new roots. To me it looks like a keiki but I have never seen a keiki in a Bulbophyllum before.
Is this a keiki? Should we separate from the mother plant?
In case it is not a keiki, what is the best way to proceed here?
Take a look at the pictures and let me know what you think!
Thank you

I do not think this is a keiki but a new growth. I have an Elizabeth Anne which also has such a creeping rhizome. Unless the plant lives in a very humid environment, I would repot it to avoid rootloss.

Not a keiki, just normal new growth. It will extend the rhizome and form a pseudobulb and leaf. Since the plant has grown beyond the pot it should probably be moved to a larger one, with fresh bark mix. It is forming new roots so now is the ideal time. Bulbos like this tend to sprawl and climb out of the pot. A large shallow pot often works best.
