My wife has a few Orchids that she bought last year and they seem happy enough but at the top of the stem where the flowers grew from, and after no signs of life up top in ages, there is now growing leaves that look identical although smaller than the leaves that grow at the foot of the stalk.
Is this a good sign and should they just be left alone? I will try and take a picture soon if needed.

You've got a Keikei.
basically a baby plant, a clone of the mother. Leave it to grow till you get some nice length roots, then cut the stem and pot it up.

Here is where I am with this now.
I take it I cut the stem just below where the new plant is growing and pot it up?
