Den Keikis Blooming

[Snowden]

Here are my noid den keikis that are blooming in S/H. The cane that is blooming is only 3 inches tall.

I removed and transplanted the keikis last spring, along with a few older back canes (these older canes are only 3-4 inches tall, compared with 12 inches on the mother plant) into a community pot.

Because they were so small, and I don't know if this helped or not, I started them out in a very shallow container that was only 3 inches tall so the roots were initially about a 1/2 inch from the water line. Once they were established and the roots grew long enough, I moved them to a larger container in July. Eventually I'll separate them all out to their own containers.

Hi Snowden, Very nice blooming job

You might consider mounting one when you divide later onto a stick with a little spag moss. I did that a year or so ago and now it is almost totally around it. Since yours is the smaller type you can have some fun with it. Let it get a little wild. It's fun getting keikis to play with. (I mist mine each day)

Keikis are good for "experiments"
