Cutting loose my Keiki Male
Default

howdy, just my but for the misting bit, we usually spray the seedlings and and new acquisitions for while, but not misting. usually we spray a good bit just on the media surface and any aerial roots making sure its good and soaked. i agree it probly does evaporate (as the media looks dry 9 hourse later when we get home usually, except on rainy days) but i personally feel that the bit of moisture on the top can slow the drying process of the media in the middle of the root zone. this only applies to seedling and stuff, the older mature phals we have we dont spray.

for keikis, no real experience to share. we have one dendriobium that we took about a month and a half ago, and they are doing well. just twisted the keiki off the stem by hand. a couple small phal speices we got were from keikis and from a pro grower, they had about a 1 cm piece of the tem attached and most have done good that way. take that for what its worth and heed the advice of the more experienced growers!! best of luck with the new plants!
