Hello Abby,
The keikis sprouting from my nobile don't produce much root growth unless they're secured to the potting medium. My nobile is an aphyllum and it is mounted to a tree fern pot. To encourage it's keikis to grow I fashioned a piece of wire into a pin in the shape of a hair pin. Then I curved the mother cane so that the mother cane and the keiki came in contact with the treefern. I cushioned a tiny amount of damp sphagnum moss between the keiki/cane, and treefern. With the pin I then secured the cane (near the keiki) to the treefern. Within a few days the keiki roots responded by elongating and growing into the sphagnum and tree fern.
With a few adjustments, the same method could be used for a potted specimen.
