The Orchid Growing Keikis

Keikis: the Hamaiian word for babies, and they can be used for propagation.


Leave the keiki until the roots are about 1 inch/2.5cm long. It should be cut from the mother plant and plated in a small pot filled with a fine bark mix. Spread out the roots and do not plant too deeply. Water carefully and place in a progator or transparent plastic bag. Repot next season. Flowers shoud appear in 2 or 3 years.
