Separating keikis

[fishmom]

The keiki will thrive where its parent thrives. I believe the general rule of thumb for a phal is a blurred--not sharp--shadow showing on the leaves.

Should I move it away from the window and out of the sun? There's a few flowers on it and I usually move them out of the direct sunlight when in bloom but I'm assuming the plant might need more sunlight to feed the keiki but I also have no clue how to nurture a growing keiki.

It's like my first child haha

Phals can do well in relatively low light. You'll know if it gets too much because the leaves will redden. The keiki will be perfectly content if the mother is.

I do not know what to do with this keiki on the mother plant as it grows in the center of the plant...odd!
The mother plant has 2 large leaves and the keiki grows at the place where a new leaf should grow...I can't explain it better...I don't seem to be able to post a photo...
At this time the keiki has 6 roots, 3 of them are about 2" 1/2. What should I do?
Thank you for your suggestions.

My Phal. is describe as such...

Phal. Bright Peacock "Sweet Fragrance) HCC/AOS (Golden Peoker 'E.S.' JC/AOS x Yungo Princess Gelb)
