A friend of mine has a mottled-leaf paphiopedilum which instead of putting
up a flower spike, appears to have keiki'd. The plant is growing in a
south-facing window, the window has a shade and the plant is high up so it
doesn't get direct light. The keiki has five good-sized leaves, and you can
see bumps at the base where it might want to put out roots. The plant has
also put out new growth at the base. They said the plant's been like that
for a few months now. What can they do to encourage the roots to grow, and
then how long to let them grow before removing and repotting the plant?
