den. christmas chime keiki

[daniel]

a have lot of keiki on my den and they have long roots
i was wondering if i can remove them to a other pot?

[RosieC]

I think the rule of thumb is that you should have about 3" of root on each keiki before potting it up. That can be 3 1" roots or 1 3" root or any other combination.

You should be able to gently twist them off. I don't know this orchid but on my kingianum they came away with a simple twist and then I potted them up.

thanks

agree with Rosie - the few keikis I have removed twisted off fairly easily - and I have read the same advice regarding the amount of roots they should have before being removed

[daniel]

if the keiki do not have any more leave because of age, should i do it also ?
