  • This is a short video showing you how to repot an Orchid Keiki from a Phalaenopsis orchid. This Phalaenopsis orchid also has a couple of partial keiki's which are extremely interesting and bizarre. Keiki's are a great way to propagate orchids without needing to pollinate orchids and grow orchid seedlings.

    I really liked the video. Your speaking was clear, the video was well shot and the information was easy to understand as you pointed out what keiki and spikes were as you talked.

    The joke about 3 hands was funny. The humor was not lost on me! Thank you for this video, I've been watching a little keiki on my own orchid for a while and I think it's ready to be repotted but I wanted to make sure I did it right.

    Thank you! I have just followed your instructions to pot my keiki. It too is about 8 months old but has a complete stem of flowers growing. I've left them on - I hope I don't lose them!

      @@binkb7926 Hi - thanks for getting back. The flowers stayed for a while and then died off and I cut the spike back. The keiki still looking healthy - slow growth but the roots are spreading a new leave sprouting out now. Slow process! :)

    So interesting. I have never seen a keiki grow so strangely. Even though two of my keikis started to bloom as well, it was just one huge flower and the keiki continued to grow. 💜 Beautiful video!

    I think I'll let the roots grow a little longer, then repot using your advice.

    Thanks so much for the info. My Keiki is a couple of years old and I left it on the mother plant as it puts out the most amazing blossom spike. Now two more have formed on the plant although I've never done anything to propagate from it. I'm going to try and separate the biggest one. I'm hoping it's going to survive!

    @ronblackstock5597 10 років тому

    I received an orchid from sister in law who had let the flowers drop and it didn't look good at all. I watered it correctly and put it into a south facing window. Suddenly it put on two new flower spikes and a keiki. The Keiki has three leaves and three roots on it. I plan to remove the keiki and plant it soon. The orchid is blooming at the time and just keeps on putting on more flowers at the end of the spikes. It has three spikes, two with flowers and one with the keiki.
    Interesting video and informative also.
    Thanks

    Hi Real, Your video is great. I too have had this oddity growth on a Phal. I left the baby on the mother plant and it bloomed. I don't know if it was something I did, but soon after the mother plant started to shrivel. Eventually it died. I still have the baby planted but even after almost a year nothing has happened. The plant is very healthy looking so I am just leaving it to see what will happen.Thanks Patsy

    When you repotted & put the water in the bottom of the bowl, do you just leave the pot in that water or when do you take it out. I am sorry but I am unclear on that part?

  • @stephl1995
    @stephl1995 10 років тому

    Hello nice video. I was wondering if you treated the plant in a particular fashion to create the growth of the keikis: did you fertilize in any specific way or use Keiki paste?
    I have several plants on which i applied keiki paste and there is plenty of growth on most of them. However it is early to tell if these are secondary spikes or Keikis. Thank you.

  • @pamwilson841
    @pamwilson841 10 років тому

    Love your site. I didn't know about Keiki's. Do you just leave the old flower spikes alone and the Keiki's develop? Or do you do something to make them form? I want to try the technique with my orchids. I have a Japanese Orchid that has been in full bloom for 2 months now; I love to look at it every day. I also have several other orchid plants. Thanks, Pam

    The biggest kwikis have 2 years and only 5 sheet and 3root. In one of the sticks, I have at the top one keike and in the middle another one! Can I cup them now?
    Thanks for your answer
