    Hi all,

    Back in August several of you helped out with advice on what to do with a flowering orchid that also had a Keiki. You gave some great advice (Hello & Help with Keiki I repotted, and all seems to be well. After 2.5 months, this is my progress...

    The original plant - I have not cut the stalk and the airborn roots are still growing wild. I think the leaves are strong and healthy. They are starting to spread out a bit.

    Then, the Keiki. The leaves feel pretty firm, they aren't as thick and green as the original plant, but I'm hoping that's to be expected.

    I'm hopeful that they will continue to grow and thrive. I'll cross my fingers for more blooms in spring!

    If anyone has any insights from looking at the photos or has tips for how to gauge the health of these two, I'd be very appreciative.

    Thanks much!
