so I can remove the keikis from the plant for repotting.

Pharmacy or vet's office or farm supply store. However, you may want to
consider using a nonsterile blade and heating it in a flame (and then
letting it cool, of course) before each cut. It'd be a lot less hassle than
dealing with a ton of blades.

Oh, a biological supply house would probably carry them:
