Default Orchid cloning paste for keikis

Has anyone tried this product with any success ?

" Keiki power pro "

They sell it on ebay and claim it will produce keikis once it is applied to a node.

thanks

I have used similar products, they do stimulate node growth if used properly. This specific product I have not used but it seems to be well rated. $10.99 on Amazon.

I have used this paste as wound care for phals where I broke off blooming tips on spikes and it has worked to generate more blooms. I am testing it on an Onc Sharry Baby spike that I had to free from the Pbulb sheath. I have not been successful generating keikis.

Information on best practices to follow for keiki production seems to be scarce.

I have been advised to:
  • Treat nodes only on Phalaenopsis flower stems that are finished blooming and which are not producing secondary flower spikes (unless you just want to create more flower spikes)
  • Treat nodes on the lower half of the flower spike stem only (better chance of keiki production)
  • Plant should be in good health
  • Plant should be kept in dimmer light than usual while undergoing treatment to make keikis

Orchid Whisperer gave good advice.

There is also a thread where another member applied KeikiPro but kept re-applying (please don't do this). In the case of KeikiPro, or any other such type paste or liguid, less is more. You only need a tiny bit for it to work.
What strange growth did Keiko Power Pro Create?

Good Luck!

Re-application never seems to be necessary when applying to nodes on Phal stems.

When I have applied keiki paste, it is always the smallest amount possible - no more than a pinhead-sized amount per node. That always seems to work if the node is viable.
