Smile KultureShock's Keiki Paste Recipe...

Hi everyone my name is Irie and I am new to Orchid board. I was wondering if anyone has KultureShock's recipe for keiki paste?


I tried to contact the member via the site and skype but have not been successful. I want to use his method of orchid cloning for an experiment for school. Any information on ratios etc. would be helpful.

I found keiki paste on Google
BAP
Commonly called*BAP, 6-BAP, 6-Benzylaminopurine or benzyl adenine, the synthetic plant hormone cytokinin stimulates growth in orchids, carnivorous pitcher plants (Nepenthes spp.), and other plants.

Make the Keiki Paste
Put on gloves, a dust mask, and*safety goggles*before mixing any combination of powdered BAP and carriers. BAP is a skin, lung, and eye irritant. To make a small amount of keiki paste, warm 1 gram of lanolin in a small glass container. Sprinkle 1 milligram of BAP powder over the lanolin and mix the two ingredients thoroughly with a long toothpick or bamboo skewer.

Applying the Paste
Apply the keiki paste one week after the last flower on the spike opens. Make an off-center cut on the second, third, and fourth node on the cane or flower spike, counting the nodes from the bottom up. Gently remove the covering of the node with tweezers, exposing the green node underneath. Using a toothpick, apply a small amount of keiki paste to the node. New growth should appear in one to two weeks. The node may become a keiki or a new flower spike. This depends whether the node has already differentiated between vegetative or floral growth.

Caring for the Keiki
While the keiki is developing, keep the mother orchid warm, at 70 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Water the orchid weekly with distilled or rain water, adding water until it drains from the bottom of the flowerpot. Repeat twice to ensure that the planting medium is thoroughly moist, but do not allow the bottom of the pot to sit in water. Avoid using water conditioned by a water softener. Keep in mind that orchids are not salt tolerant.

Fertilizer and Watering
Fertilize the mother orchid every two weeks, after watering, with a solution of one-half to one-quarter strength liquid 30-10-10 fertilizer. Add the fertilizer solution to the orchid until it drains from the bottom of the flowerpot. Also, add humidity to the air by grouping plants together on a tray filled with pebbles and water, and installing a*cool steam vaporizer*next to the plants.

Removing the Keiki
A keiki requires six to 12 months to develop properly. When the keiki's roots are 2 to 3 inches long, remove the keiki from the spike. Sterilize anvil pruners*in a solution of equal parts alcohol and water. Cut the flower spike just above the keiki and below the keiki's roots, leaving part of the stem attached to the new plantlet. Plant the keiki in a small flowerpot, using orchid mix. Support the new orchid with bamboo stakes until the roots grow into the planting medium. Do not fertilize the orchid until new growth appears.
