keiki into s/h while still attached?

[Rhynno]

Hi all,

I've got a keiki starting on my epidendrum radicans hybrid (tried everything to get the parent plant to live but no luck; oh well! Keikis!). I want to have this little guy go into s/h with no problems (instead of waiting till it's big enough to separate at which time the roots will be too big for the transfer. So, I put a small pot filled with leca under the keiki where the roots can grow. Has anyone else done this? Any tips or ideas is greatly appreciated .

Cheers,

Ryan
