Elaine, you and I are talking about radically different "air-layering". You are simply allowing an already rooted keiki to grow in/on another adjacent pot. I am talking about truly air-layering a plant, something I do regularly to plants like Fiddle Leaf Ficus, Narrow-leaf Ficus, and Rubber Trees. The air-layering I do makes the plant root off its stem. The keiki is a truly rooted plant formed off the stem of the Phalaenopsis. Perhaps that is what Heath is referring to - a keiki. Heath, are the pictures below similar to what you see on your plant? You'll have to click on the pictures to see the complete image. These are keiki.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
