So that is a phrag kiki? It is not something I have seen before. Just in case it ever happens what is the timing on removal.

Like I mention above, yes it is a keiki, it’s already shows roots primordiums, so it should be ready to be remove!

Very interesting. The plant looks like a very mature plant.
