Like many gardeners, I do admire orchids. I picked up this plant a few years ago. It's done well for me and I love it when it blooms! This year for the first time ever, it has produced two prolifs/babies. How do I separate these babies from the mother plant. The roots have really gotten long on them, so I may have waited too long to decide to separate them. It will be a challenge potting them up with those long roots.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I am thrilled that I will now have more orchids! How long does it take before the "babies" will bloom?
