Default Orchid keikei?

"Sacha" wrote

Is it possible for these Phals to develop from the base of the plant, right
beside the already established leaves which have sprouted, flowered and
died back? It looks to me like a whole new plantlet but for all I know, it
could just be new leaves. It seems to be sending out new roots, too. What
do I do now?!

In my experience they only usually make a new "crown" if the old one is
damaged and even then it's rare, but they do have that facility. What do you
do now? Carry on what you are doing as it obviously appreciates it and if it
grows into a new plant beside the old one then you will need a bigger pot.
