    Default Cut and repot Phal keiki when it's blooming?

    I have this Phal (brother fancy x equestris). It has two keikis at the end of previously bloomed spikes, both have leaves and roots. One keiki is blooming, one is developing bud and another spike is developing in the middle of the same old spike (see the second picture).

    Here is my worry: the mother plant looks really sad, like it is drying up. I also noticed that another basal keiki is growing. I really hate to cut keikis off and afraid that I will loose the bloom/buds. Do you think the mother plant can survive that long?

    Sorry about the quality of the pictures, I lost resolution during re-sizing.
