Basal Keikis don't necessarily mean the parent plant is going to die. I have a Phal mannii with a pot full of basal Keikis. It had 8 spikes this year. It's possibly just genetics.

One other possibility is that it started out as a spike and maybe got too much nitrogen and instead of becoming flowers it became a Keiki.
