Default how can I get a keiki to develop roots
I have a fairly healthy phal that had developed a nice keiki instead of a bloom. How can I force it to root without detaching it from the stem? Or is that even possible?

It should develop roots on its own.
I believe they start growing then a few months after the leaves.

I had an idea to put some sphagnum moss to hopefully promote root growth as well... here's to crossing my fingers ... <3

Patience. Seriously. Just wait and it'll send out some roots.
