My poor Mini Mark wasn't happy, it had lost most of it's leaves (down to 3) and root growth just wasn't happening.
I put it in Passive Hydroponics and gave it a good spray of KeikiPro.
I sprayed the base of the stem, where new roots had the best chance of growing.
Instead of roots, I got Keiki's!!!
7-29-09
Four keiki's appear!
8-23-09
Growing.........and keiki #5 appears!
9-08-09
9-20-09
10-21-09
Doing well and leaf #3 appears on largest Keiki
Not much change since this picture, just slowly growing. |

Well, Al I guess this is definitely a success story for you! Good for you because you saved a beautiful plant and will lots of new guys hanging around your home next summer. What a show plant this will become!!!!! And look at those meaty roots... WOW!!!! My question for you is: Did you spray your plant periodically or just once?

Just once Doc. I was hoping to stimulate root growth. It could still have better roots but they are coming along. It's also growing new leaves on the main plant. This is a mighty busy plant.

Thank G-d for that... or else you'd have no plant. Roots or keikis you did a great job! But did you have to apply the "grow juice" multiple times or just once? |

Some of these already have new homes waiting but when I'm done separating and adopting them out, I definitely intend to share some of these, aries. It'll be around springtime. Stay tuned!
Your fellow Aries,
