I think my dendrobium has formed a keiki. It's about half way up one of the
pseudobulbs and it seems to be a little plant with air roots. Does this
sound like a keiki to you guys? If so, how do I remove it?

Thanks!

Ray, this goes with the 'where to cut the phal spike' video....

Yeah, but I may be one of the few remaining individuals that doesn't own a
video camera...

I do, however, have a series of sequential still shots on how to move a
plant from a seedling pot of moss into semi-hydroponics - both online as
well as part of my talk on the subject.

If the pb it's growing from is firm, green and healthy, then grab the keiki
as low as possible and gently rock/twist till it comes off. If the pb is
shrivelled up, then just cut below the keiki. Kenni
