No Roots on Keiki -- what now?
Hi folks. Using the KiekiGrow product, I was successful in getting a
fantastic, 3+ leave keiki growing on one of my favorite phal's; however, its been growing on the (now flowerless) spike for several months and STILL NO ROOTS! I'm perplexed. I needs roots before I can separate it, right? Do I need to try air-layering with spag. moss to encourage roots?...or just sit tight? TIA, David |

Just wait. They'll grow eventually. May take a while.

Plant Hormones Canada also sells Keiki-Root...
Another thing to consider is mixing up a teaspoon per gallon of K-L-N or SuperThrive and "painting" the plant with it. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Artwork, Books and Lots of Free Info!
