I've been growing "rescued" orchids for years that others are throwing out because they stopped flowering. (Don't you hate that?😬) Anyway, one if my orchids is finally growing a keiki! I'm so excited. I feel like I'm having a baby! Lol ... Only plant lovers understand ☺️
then you are having a baby ! :DD
I am glad I can relate to this 💜
Same! I told my parents I’m growing a baby before I realized how it sounded 😅.
My mom wanted to throw her orchid away just because the flowers were dying and she assumed the whole thing was dead. She'd say "look how dead it looks" or something like that and I'd respond that it's just the flowers and the rest of the plant looks healthy. She said we could keep it if I took care of it and it's still doing good months later
Fran M.K. how did you know it was a keiki. I have a "something" growing on my spike I thought it was a (branch) extra spike its about two weeks old now lol
I am always more excited when an orchid grows a keiki than when it blooms :) 💜
Is it just me? She has a sweet & soothing voice.
I know I'm pretty off topic but does anybody know of a good place to watch new series online?
@Makai Gianni Try flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Niko Creed Definitely, I've been using flixzone for since march myself :)
@Niko Creed Thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it !!
@Makai Gianni Glad I could help :)
Miss Orchid Girl could have a side hustle as a hand model!! ❤
I wish! 😂
I am just examining my orchids this morning + noticed several ‘keikis’. I am rather new to looking after orchids. Not knowing what exactly to do with ‘the babies’, I came here. You’re explanations are always so helpful! From a detailed educational standpoint, but also the careful way you present this information. The info on ‘prioritizing’ your orchid goals - is a good one + very important the way I see it. Like triaging medical cases. I always learn so much more than I expect. You’re AWESOME + I really appreciate you + the knowledge + respect you impart for these living things. I humbly thank you. 😌
I have an orchid that spontaneously made 2 keikis which I haven't cut off. No orchid of mine ever produced kakis before on their own. Now a Keiki has 2 flower stems and the mother plant has 3. I will be having a lot of gorgeous flowers soon and this orchid produces a lot of small flowers on one stem. I will be quite a show.
WOW
Your channel is the best, the only one I watch since getting a scary orchid. Three years later and yearly blooming of four orchids, they are enjoyable with the special care. Now I have a kiekis,so of course I came to your great site for guidance. Thank you.
This was SO COOL!!!
I didn’t know so many different orchid families had so many different types of keikis! I have my first set of keikis! That’s why I’m on this video. I only knew keikis to grow next to the mother plant, so when I saw saw mine from the flower spikes I thought it was a confused hybrid that forgot it had grown flowers there 3 months ago 😅 I didn’t know they were babies!!! I’m so excited! I have 4 growing very quickly! Thank you, also, for the timeline expectancy. I now know 3 months for roots and cutting, and about a year for flowers of their own. Very very helpful. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
And I never knew about “repotme” I’ve been making my own pots.
And I didn’t know about keiki paste! Your channel just gets better and better for me! Thank you!!
I’ve got one after putting 3 stems in a vase with moss , 2 stems died one has a baby it’s very small but so cute I’m excited it worked . I used no paste just cut off stems .
Did the same and got the same results with a stem from a mini phal! The keiki leaves are tiny. Hoping it has enough power in it to grow some roots. It’s been a fun experiment during quarantine. :)
Yes! This is what I recommend if using a flower stem and the stem is still attached and you're using keiki paste. If the mother gets stressed, use the vase method with moss instead of just cutting the stem and "quitting". I don't quit! I just try another method!
Hi I have about 4 Keiki’s on one orchid. I’m so excited. I didn’t think I’d ever get one. My orchid is a little small one. Phaleonopsis excuse spelling, but it’s a miniature one. So very small babies. Oh I hope they make it. And this one plant actually bloomed twice on same spike. Wow. I was surprised at that too. I wish I could take a pic and show you. It’s so pretty
I bought a similar paste on Amazon and it actually works. I have about 8 keikis in total growing out of two of my orchids. I’m super excited to see how they grow 🥺
Which one did you get?
My sister and I were literally talking about Keikis yesterday. Thank you for this video. Very informative!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My Erycina Pusilla (microminiature) is growing THREE keikis right now! Luckily the orchid typically matures in 18 months, one is almost ready 😁 thanks for the video!
Thanks Danny. Great timing !! Just in process of removing keiki from Dendrobuim Nobile cane and starting them (3) in a small pot with chips and moss. Wanted to say that the scaple from repotme is super sharp, much sharper than regular disposable box cutter. My finger bears witness 🤪, good that I'm a fast healer 😬. Also used a tree pruning sealer on both the cane and keiki. The bad is messy, good is instant seal to open wound for both sides of cut. But again is messy because of tar getting everywhere, live and learn. Enjoy break and we'll all see you on next video.
I’ve got a few keikis but mostly ignored them in favour of brushing up my other orchid knowledge. Now I have a huge basal keiki I need to seperate but also an aerial keiki and mum in bloom at the same time. I hope it’s not too exhausting for the mum because I think it’s going to look spectacular. Last bloom together and then I’ll be a better orchid mum and give them a pot. Watching the flower buds like a hawk I’m so excited!
I got my roommate a phal last year and when we moved out of state, she flew so I took her stuff in the a uhaul and I seen her orchid wasn’t doing so great and had a bare flower spike so I brought it to my new home and nursed it back to life. I’ve been busy and hadn’t bought new medium so I just watered it and left the spike and now it has a giant keiki :3 I’m excited to have a new plant and I plan on giving her one of them again once they bloom.
I love watching your videos. Very informative and clearly explained . A big thank you
Thank you for your informative videos. Yesterday I bought a phal which had 2 beautiful flowers but the reason I bought the particular one was it has 3 keikis on the flower spike. I am a beginner at growing orchids so I am looking forward to seeing the progression of the plant. I have been buying phals that are being sold cheap for different reasons and thoroughly enjoying your videos. I live in Western Australia.
Thanks for this video. It’s very helpful. None yet on my orchid, but looking forward to seeing one appear!
I just ordered more pots from them last night! I like them in the clear blue. And I ordered a slipper orchid finally so my collection is feeling complete at the moment. Ill have to try the keiki paste. I noticed my strawberry plant was making babies and all I could think to call them was keikis lol
one more video miss Danny and it will be exactly 2000 videos !! OH MY :o so happy for you :D
Ooh cool! I lost count haha thanks for reminding me! 🧡
Yes she does. She is easy to listen to.
I got a phal for my birthday in October last year. It bloomed for a while and then lost all flowers. I ended up cutting off the previous flowering part of the stems and pretty much just left it be. Now in the spring I moved it a little closer to the window again and gave it a little bit of fertiliser, and was so exited to see little buds starting to grow on the old stems. I was expecting flowers, because I didn't know they were keikis. Only realised when I saw leaves starting to form haha. So now I have three keikis growing on it, and looking forward to see them grow into new plants c:
Great info! I can only hope my phalaenopsis orchid will one day produce a Keiki!
I was in a grocery store reccently(1 hour ago) and i see a phalaenopsis with patterns on her leaves. And then I notticed a few more of them, they had pink flowers with darker pink and yellow spots and a white lip with also a few pink spots. By observing the pattern on the leaves i think that those phals are some new hybrids of phal. schilleriana on the market.
Omg! Im glad i didnt listen to google because it said my orchid was stressed.
Hi i am now trying to raise orchids yours are Very nice and healthy
Thank you Danni. I got a beautiful mini phal that soon had a basal keiki.

Thank you so much! I learn so much from you!
Very much interesting video. Plans to grow orchid now.
I enjoyed this video. It was very informative!
Love it!! I have the grow and root Keiki paste!!
Very useful video, love you.
brilliant! so clear, thank you!
The orchid we got has a baby orchid growing from it's flower stick thing and the cool thing is it's a wild orchid and I didn't know that it could happen
I really love keiki paste. I’ve been having fun on a nobile I was given as a rescue by a friend who didn’t take care of it too well. The canes were big and plump but was completely without a single leaf. I went crazy with the paste on her and got 6 keikis to grow. The one at the very top has even flowered. Are you supposed to water and/or fertilize the keiki aerial roots while it’s still attached to the mother plant? I don’t know if I should mist them once a week with water and apply a spray fertilizer every two weeks.
I have spritzed the keiki roots when they start forming. The roots grow faster than if I don't spritz. So yes you can and it won't hurt it. I have done this particularly with Nobile. I didn't fertilize while they were attached to the canes. I usually have cuttings of canes tho. Once it is a separate plant, fertilize keikis. Treat like mother. Definitely fertilize mother during growing season. Hope this helps!
Really informative video
Thank you
I have a keike. I will follow your instructions
Hi! Just found your channel and it is very informative. I just begun to get into orchids. I want to ask what is the brand of the keiki paste that you used in this video?
I actualy once saw in a store an oncidium with a keiki
Thanks for this video, I was wondering how we can cut it off, it the first time I am hearing this thought this plant preduced seeds but instead it is like it gives birth instead! :3 It's amazing! Also learning about this, I already feel like I am a mom by seeing this or imagining our ochid has a child. XD Really interesting feeling, never thought I have it just over a plant. I hope ours blooms it, it our first one. ^ ^
root keikis!! its rly rare but i got one on my fdk after dark! ive only heard it occurring on catesetinae.
Very cool, thanks.
I have a keiki that is blooming . Should I wait until it has finished blooming to remove from the mother plant?
I'm getting a bunch, I wish I could share with you
Υπέροχα τα κεικι 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️💞💞💞🙏💋🙏💋💋🇬🇷
You can use aloe vera in case you don't have keiki paste. It works!
Thanks for that information. I was mystified first so now know I can repot that my kieki. What is a bit of a mystery is that on that particular flower spikes the flower buds keep dying. So have no idea if I should remove those flower spikes. Can you advise me please. Thanks Danni.
My poor orchid of 5 years got stem rot! I lost all the leaves in two days before I figured it out. I'm wondering if I can use keiki paste on the stem in order to encourage a keiki to grow. It has so many healthy roots, I hate to lose it 😭
Hello, your videos are great. I have a quick question about an image at position 8:04. Under your hand, there is a little leaf on the spike, why does this happen? Is it just normal for some orchids? I've had orchids for years and this is the first time I've seen this on one of them.
I by accident removed a basal keiki from the mother plant. It didn't have a strong root system. It had one root and a small one starting. I potted it in a tiny pot and decided to look how it was doing, it started to show signs of making more roots, saw some tips poking through. I placed it in a bigger pot so it's wasn't so limited. Its been a month and a half. It doesn't look shriveled but I'm not sure if it will survive.
Got my first epidendrum orchid as a keiki. It did bloom the first year. I never knew that epidendrums are terrestrial tho.
Depending on the species they can grow as lithophytes or terrestrials. One of the main species in cultivation, Epidendrum radicans can grow us both.
Hi I love all the information you give. I need your help this is my first one I see in my pot some fungus what should I do.
How do I know whether its a keiki or an additional spike growing on the existing spike
Asking anyone….. I removed a couple keikis from my Den. aphylum My question is do I need to give them a winter rest like the mother plant? Thank you 🙏 for any advice 😊
Hi where do u buy keikei paste?
How do you know how to determine roots vs air roots on a keiki? I have two keiki's with about 4-5 what appears to be air roots.
Hello Danny, I have a vanda keiki which is big but it doesn't have any root. Can you please advise on how to promote root growth on keikis
i have tried as you said cut off the flower and wait for a keikis. but it has a another flower stems not a keikis
Can i just ask please!!! . Once the keikis had grown and grown its roots do we actually have to remove from the main plant or can we just leave it ?
Super 🥰💕😍👌🤩👍🙋♀️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
Very usefull
I thought our office orchids got mutation :D Now I know, keiki
Should I wait till after flowering before removing a basal keiki? Keiki seems only a few years younger than parent plant both have 2 flower stems
hi there,
I by mistake "ripped" a new bud, I don't know if it was a flower stem or a new keiki, it was way too small, but to me it looked like new leaves were growing in the flower stem; but really don't know much about that. Do you think it would have a chance of surviving (it was a heartfelt mistake, cried a little inside of me). Is there any thing that I can do to help it survive?
thanks for all your videos I learn a lot.
Feel so sad...after watching this video, i checked on my orchid that has spikes on it. And found 2 on the spikes, sadly i broke 1, that very little one while scrutinizing. I just hope the other 1 would grow its own roots.
Good day how many days of phealanopsis seed will sprout.
Hi, there! It looks like there is a leaf growing on the orchid spike you were using to demonstrate at about 7:30. Is that a keiki? If not, do Phals sometimes just grow leaves in odd places? Thanks!
A "terminal" spike usually gets a small leaf on it. But i have learned that "terminal" spikes are not always gona kill the mother plant.
My anosmum is forming 5 or 6 keikei after she dropped her flowers. I’d much rather she saved her energy for next year’s bloom- what am I doing wrong? I’m in Florida, it’s quite warm.
Well I just spent $110 in 5 minutes on repot me lol
😂❤😂
Hello - my first ever post. I am learning so much from you and for the first time ever have three orchid plants that I have managed not to kill over almost two years now. They are all phaleonopsis (sp) that has what appears to
Be a keiki on it but the parent plant isn’t looking well (leathery leaves, looking dehydrated but I water weekly). The keiki is growing directly from the base of the parent plant with no clear place to cut it away. It seems it’s what you describe as what is a basal keiki yes? I’m worried it’s causing stress to the main plant. Not sure what to do but I don’t want to lose one or both of them. Help please 😔 I have taken some pics but not sure how to post those here
I have a question. Can a keiki have a keiki. I have a keiki that I took from the mother plant a about 2-3 months ago and now right at the base of the plant is a little tiny leaf coming out. I would love to be able to send you a picture and see if you can tell me what is going on. Thank you for all your hard work.
Should I give my dendrobium nobile keikis a winter rest when they are done growing?
Just had a one I bought with the start of a keiki get crown rot. I'm trying the method I've seen where they remove the spike and have it in sphagnum and creat a terrarium type environment to keep the keiki to grow. :( hoping it works.
There is a flower nursery near our house and there are 182 varietys of orchids in that place. 😄😄
My orchid is growing a mini orchid and tbh I'm surprised cause out of all my plants, the orchid gets ignored the most.
My phila orchid has produced 2 babies but has only flowered once. How can I get it to flower again
Do you have a video on when/why you stopped using leca? I'm sorry, I probably missed it somehow, but I couldn't find it.
I have 2 keikis on the end spike of a phalaenopsis thats done blooming quite large both of them but for some reason wont produce roots..i cant find any info on how to get roots on them to replant..HELP..lol, one broke off from being dropped accidently (not by me) the other is still attached. Been going on 3 monthes n still no roots..what can i do to get roots??
You can try keiki paste on the bottom where the keiki was attached to the stem. Sometimes that helps produce roots, or another keiki, or even flower spike. A bit unpredictable. (Nature! 🤷🏻♀️) Or you can try suspension over water in a glass or small container. Sometimes plants will grow roots if suspended over water. It senses the water source and can put out roots...just barely allow the water to TOUCH the bottom of the plant where it attached to stem. You will need to change the water every other day so it doesn't get stale n grow yucky stuff...I hope this helps...
Ok so for the first time ever I separated keiki plants. It’s so old it was hard to tell what was happening so I just tried my best. The first bit went ok I think but then the remaining bit was hard to tell if it was one plant or two…. So either I removed 2 keikis from a mother orrrr I removed 1 keikis and chopped the mother in half 😭 .. they all have ample roots. So that’s a good sign right. Right??
??? I rescued an Minnie Palanopsis orchids it had a keiki. Starting to form a single leaf on the flower spite. There were unopened buds at the top. It was extremely dried out and the leaves at the base were starting to yellow. Well I brought it home I watered fertilized and the leaves started to do better at the base. Well the flower buds are starting to look like they're going to open will that affect the keiki?
I have a very healthy phalenopsys that bloomed months ago (definitely last year). I continued to water and fertilize it, it was in a warm light space and we were waiting for it to bloom. No such thing....now it seems to be producing a keiki. I guess no flowers now? Should i have given it some rest, in order to bloom?
Im very worried my vanda is tiny and has no roots and root rot will it live still
Hi All I would suggest trying Kalanchoe water to help root growth. It's homemade and very cheap and worked great on my sick or weak phals. Just cut some Kalanchoe branches and put them in water. When they start growing roots - approx couple of weeks - you can use the water for your phals as it contains auxines -growth hormones. Good luck from Italy
Hi, hope you can help! I'm from South Africa. And my 1 orchid is growing something on the stem. Can't see if it's a keikie or a bloom. Or even both in one!
What is that you put on the newly tiny keike
Can we use this Keiki paste on a brocken spike which already has some new growth? I can't tell what is the new growth on the spike! Maybe I can induce the Keiki?
I have only recently started to try to grow an orchid. It did flower unexpectedly but it insists on growing sideways. It’s heavy on the one side with all of the leaves there. The other side are the above ground roots. I unsuccessfully repotted it but no good. It still is sideways and I don’t want to squish the above ground roots into the pot. What should I do?
Leave it be if it doesn't annoy you too much its their natural way of growing and if u really really hate its growth pattern then u can use steaks
Phalaenopsis will usually always start to lean to one side at some point. It's not natural for them to grow straight up and down, especially if light is coming from the side. Danny has talked about all this before :)
Thank you to the responders. I will definitely keep looking
The leaves will grow toward the light, whereas the aerial roots will tend to grow away from the light
You can always turn your plants, that's what I do.
What are your recommendations if the temperature can not get below 68°?
Hello!! I tried using keiki paste onto a very healthy orchir aftet her blooms fell off.. its been a month and the flower spike where i applied keikei paste is starting to wilt and show black spots.. does that mean the experiment didnt work? I see another bud like structure near the crown.. how can i differentiate if it is another flower spike or a keikei? How long do i wait to find out? I see the bud growing really fast.. please advise!! Thank you.. ur videos are amazing btw😊
What kind of orchid is it?
Quick question, if you want keikis you're supposed to put the paste on during growing season aka summer, and not in flowering season, how is this possible if the flower spike from winter dies back before the growing season starts? Sometimes my orchids bloom in summer for some reason but some don't. Should i just try anyway with whatever spike i can, winter or summer?
@MissOrchidGirl rePotme no longer has Keiki Paste...!!😭😭 what's your 2nd choice?
How much light is required when using keiki paste on Phalaenopsis & Moth orchids?
Can spikes formed on the keiki bloom?
My phalaenopsis orchid has sprouted keikis on the flower stems this Spring (2022).. It is now August and they have grown larger at the tops of the cut flower stems, but still not roots. I am afraid to separate them without the roots. The leaves are getting quite large, (4-6" in length) and I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?
I have two kikis on one plant old flower stems but have no root system wht is this please
Your link for the past errors on the sight and I cant find any.
How to fertilize my phalaenopsis from a baby plant
I have a Dendrobium Kingianum. It has been producing keiki one after the other. My problem is that they separate on their own before the roots are mature enough to take up nutrients. The mother plant starts producing the next one as soon as it drops .It is also producing new canes, so I feel that it is healthy. Any suggestion on how to get the keiki to get to a point of having better roots before it separates? I will be reporting this one in the near future.
Where can I get the paste, or can I make it myself?
How does one get a keiki I got my first phal orchid but no keiki
