3. Keikis
Keikis are natural discharges that form on the stems of orchids. These baby plants can be taken when their roots are sufficiently developed to ensure their survival. Gently cut the keiki at the base of its stem and plant it in a new pot filled with suitable substrate. Water the keiki regularly and make sure to maintain a constant humidity to promote its growth.
- Remove the keikis once their roots are well developed
- Cut the keiki at the base of its stem to replant it
- Use an appropriate substrate in the new pot
- Water regularly and maintain constant humidity to promote keiki growth
With these different propagation techniques, you will be able to multiply your orchids at lightning speed. Be sure to follow the steps carefully and provide the ideal conditions to promote the growth of new plants. Enjoy this enriching experience and see your collection of orchids flourish dramatically!
