Rupiculous keiki - Sugestions about what to do Male
Default Rupiculous keiki - Sugestions about what to do

This is my Laelia vasconcelosiana..as you can see it's not in good shape (just not to say it's dead)
Something I have never seen...a keiki on a rupículous orchid. I guess it's not that common.

It has been struggling to grow since I got it, maybe 5 or 6 years ago. However, it bloomed once.
When I was expecting a second blooming, it turned into a keki while the rest of the plant seems to be dead.
This keiki is hanging like that for almost a year but I doubt it will survive with higher temps and low RH. I have been misting the roots several times a day and night just to prevent the roots to dry.

I was thinking in putting a piece of sphagnum around the root area without removing it from the "branch". I could also cut the "branch at the base and stick it into the medium (LECA only) and put a sphagnum layer on top of the medium medium involving the roots.
Well, a lot of possibilities...

I haven't really decided what to do to it but I think it would be great to hear what you would do.
Remember, in my environment, from now up to October, temperatures indoors will be 28ºC and RH around 20%.

Some photos...
