keikis and phalaenopsis

Hi to everyone it is my first time in this forum, i started my orchid trip a 1 year ago, it has been a pleasure i started with 3 orchids now i take care of 35 different plants. they have flowered various times but now im facing my first keiki ( i think its written that way )

i have now new things are happening which have caused many doubts. one of my phalaenopsis plants now has a keiki though the plant seems to be ok i notice is turning some leaves yellow ( 2 out of 7) though it has been with its normal watering and fertilizing schedules, i read that before u can repot the keiki u have to wait for roots to appear on it but now im concernmed that the plant is consumming its energy on the keiki and my plant gets weak; so my big question .

do i have to use a different fertilizing schedule or type while the keiki grows roots????????? when can i pott the keiki ???????

HELP
