If you have kikis on the flower stem of an established plant watch for new root growth, once you see the roots you can mist them to help maintain moisture in them. You can also mist hem with a 1/2 strength fertlizer to take the strain off the mature plant. Once they are showing several roots 2-3 "long you can gently remove them from the stem and pot them up. You now have a stem propagation of that plant which carries forward its name and ward, if any. I am not so diligent in removing the stem kikis so I have plants in bloom with kikis in bloom on them. Just be careful not to keep the crowns wet or you will rot them off. Also if the kikis leaves start to shrivel, they are not getting enough water , low humidity, so you may need to pot them up.
