No roots on dendrobium keiki
 

The keiki is growing from the end of the stem. It is right in the center of the leaves. Most keikis eventually have roots. I have not seen any roots so how would I repot the new growth? I am also getting several new growths from the outer edges of the plant. Also the growth in the center is leafless and as much as I would like to keep it a specimen plant it does need repotting. The orchid is D. delicatum x J. Christie.

Patience is a virtue. The keiki will produce roots when it is ready. I have a keiki that bore flowers before it produced roots. You can repot it and still make it a large specimen size. Large specimens bring magnificent bouquet of flowers. Unless you intend to sell, then you can divide it into smaller pots.

No roots on d. keiki
 

That is so strange ! I will be patient if it means a new plant. All new growth is on the outside and it gets larger every year. The center has smaller leafless bulbs. If keiki gets roots I will repot the plant .
Thanks

I managed to induced roots in a phal keiki (that did not have roots for over a year) by wrapping the bottom of the keiki with moist cotton (I guess sphagnum would have been better). In just a few days, roots started to appear.

Send keiki no roots
 

What a great idea ! The plant is outside so I am hoping the humidity will help but if not out comes the sphagnum.
Thanks !
