I think you have a basal growth, and either a new leaf or a second basal growth, and some roots starting.
I'd keep it where it is, don't pot it up until the roots are longer.
Don't be surprised...

That might be a basal growth starting, and a new leaf too.
Continue what you're doing, try not to disturb the new growth, and give it lots of time.

Still going!
The mother plant is blooming. The keiki is blooming. The keiki has roots.
And--the keiki now has its own keiki.
This one is going to take over the shelf!:)

Thanks ES!
Any pot recommendations? I'm thinking smaller and shallower, especially if that's more or less normal root length. Are they OK to be a bit crowded?

Hello all,
I'm looking for advice for an orchid I'm unfamiliar with, I think it's an oncidium.

Nights are getting chilly, it was time to bring it in. This may be temporary, I don't particularly like it, but better than topping it.

I must be doing something wrong, it just takes stakes with it and goes over to the side. I find it hard to anchor the stake in the orchid bark, even with added rocks.
Can you post pictures?
