ok, this is what I would do but I'm not sure if it would be what you would do. Anyways, I would,as everyone else suggested check the mother's roots if you haven't already. (I just got a tub of rooting hormone so I'm wondering about all the situations to try it.) Ok, with that said after checking that out and take care of that if there is an issue. If there is an issue with the mothers roots I would try to fix that before removing it and then get to the rooting hormone. I would, using either powder or liquid, apply some rooting hormone to the keiki (the mother to if its got root issues) and wait to see what happens. If things don't improve, before the leaves of the mother yellow remove that keiki and apply hormone and put in sphag. I dunno if that advice is right but it sounds like it would be a good thing to try.
