What do others use when tinkering with orchid mixes?

Hi Spider
Not experienced enough to comment on the mix - but I do have a question.

Mention was made some time back about phaelenopsis having 'babies' on
old flower spikes. Can't remember the technical term. I think you
advised on what to do to keep them healthy and get new plants from them
- but I can't remember what that was.

I've got two on one plant (different spikes which flowered last year)
and I'm wondering what the best thing to do is maximise their chances at
separation. And how you separate and deal with them then.

There are some photos, taken on my phone back in September, at:

Could you advise please?
