keiki orchidée dendrobium

And i want to transplant then soon and inwant to try and save the main plant….i’m totally confused noW as i have never sterilized my tools and have plants that lived 10 years or more!

My orchids are all pefectly healthy, however one has put out a keiki where i cut one of its flowering stems back.My orchid has just started growing a basal keiki. Once the keiki shows signs of growth, you can begin to gradually increase the amount of light it receives.With the proper care, your keiki should flower between 2 to 3 years of age. It keeps producing leaves…not sure what the next step is…I’ve tried to attach a photo but it won’t let me…I first saw a keiki 7 years ago when my phalenopsis had a baby.

Do i replant in new orchid bark? I thought they woul all loose their bloom spikes for lack of energy. It then started to grow lovely green new leaves and fresh roots and then what I thought a flower spike. Any time there is an open wound on your orchid, it should be treated to prevent fungal infections.

What sort of substrate should I place them on, and how often should I water them?

I have had limited success growing plantlets and robust success getting my Phalaenopsis to push out more flowers. These plantlets can grow naturally and they can be encouraged by using plant hormones. Frustrated? WILL IT DEVELOPE ROOTS FROM THAT? Is there a problem? (They started to grow last november on a very slow riythm, and only two of them have a very little root). As summer passed, it made 3 arial keikis on the old bloom spikes which grew rapidly and developed roots. Keiki production should not instill panic but should act as a reminder to constantly monitor the health and happiness of your original plant.Read above and realized my plant is under stress and producing keiki. This new baby seems to be growing from a spike.

Im so scared. Please help!! Grow in a bright spot and shield from direct sunlight. Can you suggest sources for these items and well as offer suggestions for my puny orchid? However all bloom spikes and leaves on all plants have thrived and blossomed.

Should I just leave it all and see what happens?

the keiki is an exact replica of the parent plant which can be good if you really enjoy the flowers and when seed raising can bring about to many vairables in flower/plant shape color and form, or it can be a bad thing as this plant may have a genetic weakness to certain viruses and diseases, all in all keikies arent always a sign that your culture is not correct or sufficient , if you mother plant have healthy thick roots, lush slightly olive green succulent leaves and flowers regularly than chances are she just wants to ensure somewhere down the line her genes will get passed on whether they come from here or her cloned counterpart. Recently eight keikis have formed, 4 have been detatched and potted, 4 are slowly growing roots. My first question is that there has been some browning of the spike on the last 2 inches. But don’t worry–even if you can’t get the keiki paste, you’ll still be able to bloom your orchids, it just may take a little more time. The keiki is now starting to sprout a flower stem.

The other phals(white) I have isn’t dropping but its spike has died off completely as well.

At this stage, your Dendrobium may also grow a mini-plant, in the shape of a ‘keiki’ or ‘baby’. After the flower stalk finished, I trimmed it to two nodes.

Your orchid is having a baby. Please reply asAp!! !Sorry about the mistakes, I’m using my cell phone and it has auto correct and word prediction.

I thought they were to be clones of the mother. I’ve had the most success applying the paste when the Phalaenopsis has just finished flowering. You can try it anytime as long as there is a node on the flower stalk that you can slice into.

IS THIS AN UNUSUAL THING?This is not abnormal.

!I just found your site! Is this a happy orchid or one that has been stressed? I love the tangle of healthy roots and that they are both in bloom. What shall I do with it? for better information please find an orchid forum where you can ask questions and get informed responses.I think I may have 2 keiki’s on one of my orchid’s – a bud-like growth on the end of a root.

It is not near the keiki and has not progressed.

Using hormones doesn’t always result keikis, sometimes the orchid will produce flowers rather than a keiki–and that’s okay too.I’m assuming you googled how to propagate orchids through offsets because you’re trying to figure out how to get your orchid to propagate.
