I have a phalaenopsis that the growth point rotted and it still had 2 flower stalks, so I put on some kiki paste and waited. I now have 17 kikis of various sizes. Some are still way too small but others are now 4 - 5 inch leaf span with three or four roots from 2 to 5 inches long. At what point is it safe to start separating the kikis from the main plant? There is no rush for me to do this but if it would help the smaller kikis to grow by removing the largest ones, I would like to try. I don't know what the variety is (grocery store special) but it is one that I really like and don't want to loose. It is a smaller variety with the main plant having a leaf span of 8-10 inches max. The photos are not good but they may help. Any suggestions?
