Default Keikis transplanted

Because my phal keikis were looking so robust I decided to transplant them sooner than I anticipated. I hope I haven't done it too early! I covered them with a plastic fruit container that I hold on to in case I want containers to sow seeds and they seem to fit the bill perfectly for the transplants. There is also a sheet of wet kitchen paper to keep the humidity high.





There are two tiny keikis remaining so I'll hang on a while to see what happens; if they grow so much the better

Cute! If they had enough roots when you removed them, there's no reason for them not to survive. You don't really need to keep them in the box like that with high humidity, keikis are already used to the ambient air. I just chuck mine in a pot and stick them on the windowsill with everybody else. They adjust within a few weeks and go crazy with growth. But if you don't mind the extra work, keep on like you're doing!

Is it possible to say that a plant looks 'comfy'? because, the all look very snug

LOL they probably are which is why they may have contributed to my decision to transplant them. I should probably leave them in there for another week or so but knowing how impatient I can be they could well be in the window tomorrow! lol
