Is this Keiki?

[pikevi]

I found two long roots on Epidendrum imatophyllum.

There is no new growth but the roots are coming from one of the nodes.

Could this be transplanted as a separate plant if it grows more roots? If it can be how big should it become before I separate it?

Thanks.

Yeah, you can totally pot that up, soon.

Doesn't look like a keiki to me, but it does look pottable. Twisting this off is not an option like it would be for a keiki where there is a joint to separate it at. So it may snap off or it may not. If it bends, but doesn't snap, get a sterilized tool (heat, not alcohol) and cut it. Don't maul the plant trying to get this off. Many Epidendrums produce roots along the length of the cane, with radicans being the most obvious example. In your case, you may be giving up the prospect of a future bloom on the end of that cane, but it does look a little weak to be a candidate for blooming. I would guess that your stronger looking canes will be your blooming canes in the future.

Thanks everyone.

I will wait a while to get more roots and follow the recommendation of Cynthia.
