A complete baby plant (keiki) with leaves and roots growing on your old flower spike is a natural Phalaenopsis propagation method. Congratulations—you're an orchid grandparent!
Wait until keiki roots exceed 2 inches. Then cut the connecting stem tissue at the attachment point. The keiki may even bloom while still attached if roots haven't formed yet.
Use small plastic pot with orchid mix. Keep mix moist after initial potting. The keiki will mature into a flowering plant in a few years.
