I'm not too experienced, but I've read that with keikis, you should wait
until the roots are 3-4 inches long in total, and then you can just cut off the portion of the spike that contains the node from whence it came. Treat it then like you would any phal seedling. Cheers, Xi Sean wrote: Hi all, About 5 months ago I purchased an out of bloom phal at a local nursery on the cheap. It was in good shape with two spikes. I cut the two spikes just above the first node to attempt a rebloom and instead both spikes have produced keikis (sp?). How should I go about caring for these and what should I be looking for in the near future to have two offspring from this parent? I have a picture in a.b.p.orchids titled 'phal keiki' for those that care to take a look. Also, if you have an opportunity to look at the plant, one of the leaves from the newest growth has curved over to the point you can only see the underside of the leaf. Is this ok or should I try to keep the leaf topside up with a small stake? thanks tremendously for any help or advice, Sean |
