Look at these Phal babies now, still joined at the 'hip' ;)
It's only about 8 months now, since I cut these twins off of Momma, And mounted them.
Tonight, I took there 'first bloom' pics

Which is great getting more and more plants, but Geeeze, I'd love to see a flower come out once in a great while!
Right now I've got 5 more baby Phals growing, and I see two more starting to shoot out a bit. I wait until they get good long roots, then cut them off, and grow them on their own.
I'm just getting tired of NO FLOWERS from them!! 
Here's some pics of what they're doing.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG HERE???

They look great Jackie! Good job! Whatever happened to the 3rd little orphan with no roots? And did the parent plant get rested enough to rebloom?

If you ever need homes for any of your plants, I'll be more than happy to welcome into my home lol.
No seriously your greenhouse looks great and I wish you happy blooms on all your babies.  One question, where did you get all your plants? Locally? |

I've never had an orchid make keikis. Babies at the expense of flowers is a bummer, but new baby orchids sounds like fun, too.
