Phal keiki-potted

I had a keiki on my white Phal NOID and now that it had several roots I decided to put it in a pot. I put it into a coir mix and have it in the east/west window.

Here are some pictures attached to the mom plant (last pic)

potted

Thanks for the photo how-to. How much time passed between the first appearance of the keiki and the point when it was mature enough to pot up? Looks like a year or more of growth?

That's a happy-looking keiki. Wouldn't be surprised if it bloomed soon (soon for an orchid, that is).

Wow, that looks great for a keiki. It's got leaves and everything. It's bigger than I thought a Phal. keiki would be. I think it will bloom soon too from the look of it. Very nice job!

It had 4 good sized roots and it kept growing leaves so I decided it needed its own pot. The mom plant is doing well also, growing new roots and leaves.

I think that it was about 5 -6 months on the mom plant before potted.
