Potting Keikis Male
Default

Just an idea - I do agree roots should be at least 3" or longer, and I had quite a few keikis this summer to pot with long roots. For mobile dendros I did use aussie gold mix, and iit seems to work great, for other dendros I did buy special dendro seedling mix, which is mix of charcoal, small bark, perlite and coconut chips, this one also worked great. I had one cane from mobile dendro that broke, and it had tiny little mini keiki, I did not think it will make it, but I decided to use smallest 2 inch pot I had, and placed the whole cane into the aussie gold, with keiki on the old cane, not touching the mix at all. This was some 2 months ago, now the keikis roots are growing into the mix itself and keiki is double in size! So maybe you can do this also. Few pics for demo.
