I got a new phal orchid and I was my first phal so I wanna reproduce it but it seems like a lot of work growing from seed and then I heard about keiki but how do you get your phal to produce them?

I bought some keiki paste online and Open a node on the flower spike. But with me I tried it on three different phal.s and got one keiki.

A lot of Phals will keiki on their own - leave spike on plant unless it dies.

Keiki paste is another option, but is expensive.

I have also heard / read about using hormone product mixed with a bit of lanolin ( the lanolin is just to keep the hormone prodyct in place), and applying as you would keiki grow products - but don't know the particulars, sorry.
