Roots developing in the wrong place.

Well, they do that occasionally. Consider it a bonus. Once the roots get a little longer, you should cut the keiki off and pot it up.

 

A bonus indeed! I recently had my first keiki grow. I waited until I had three roots with a few inches each on them, a few healthy and good sized leaves, then planted it on its own, and one month later it had two flower spikes on it. That surprised the heck out of me considering some of the contradictory things I’d read about potting them. Good luck!

 

My general rule-of-thumb is 4” of total root length, whether that is one, 4” root, four, 1” roots, or anything in-between.
