How to Propagate East Indian butterfly plant?

Moth orchid thrives when propagated correctly, focusing on methods such as keiki growth or division. For successful propagation, remove keikis with roots at least 3 inches long and pot them separately in well-draining medium. Alternatively, division should occur during repotting by splitting the plant at the base and ensuring each new section has sufficient roots. Specific attention to humidity and indirect light aids the establishment of new plants.
