Wouldn't cutting along the top part of the stem just below the roots apply more to Vandas?
I don't think this is very advisable for Phalaenopsis.
After all, one of the most problematic plants for most people are Phalaenopsis. It's the most talked about group of plants in the Beginner's Discussion forum. Hell, it's the most talked about group of plants in the entire OB!
I'd just do the KeikiPro and not overdo it.
Do understand that in order for a mother plant to support her keikis, it has to have sufficient energy to do it, or one of two things can happen...
1. The mother plant dies and the poorly developed keikis die along with it.
2. The keikis abort.
