I have a phal orchid that has been blooming for 18 months and now it has
what appears to be a clone or new plant growing out of an old spike.
With leaves and its own roots! It is an indoor plant here in Seattle,
but I put it out in the summer.

Is this part of the same plant? A new plant? A separate clone (same
DNA)?

Can it be separated? Should it be separated? (those little roots are
hanging in mid air)

Thanks.

George
