Phal Keikies
 

Are keikies that are growing from the Phal. pot a good thing or do they spell trouble?

:scratchhead:

Keiki growth may be because a plant is in distress - but, many Phals (and some other types of orchids) grow keikis as a matter of course. If your plant appears healthy (roots, foliage), it's not something to worry about.

I'm always expecting my orchids to grow keikis but they don't.:(

Try almost killing them. Always seems to do the trick for me lol.

Is this a keiki?

Take another picture of that b/c everything but the leaf or what not at the top looks like a spike. However some orchids do produce adventitious leaves on their spikes.

Seems to be a bloom but it is somewhat defocused. Another picture would be great. In my experience with Phal, usually keikis appear in the spikes' nodes.
