anyone here used/using keiki paste?

[mehitabel]

Hi, everyone. I am wondering if anyone here has or is using keiki paste to form keikis on phal spikes?

I am experimenting with this right now, and have managed to get what I could call kieiki "nubbins" -- ie nubbins about 1/4". That part was fairly easy.

However, they do seem to develop pretty slowly. Just wondered if anyone had done this and had an idea how long it takes from the paste to the first leaf appearing.

Also, is there anything you can do to speed the process up?

The vendor advertises "keiki grow" in addition to "keiki paste". K paste to start the keiki, and the K grow to grow it.

Was hoping I wouldn't need to pop more $$ for the K grow.

Any replies will be much appreciated.
