i committed a crime!

anyway i killed my dendo keiki, i was checking around and I saw discoloration on this keiki. and somehow i can pulled it off (the leaves) and even has this spicy scent. well i know it will end up infecting the mother plant so i use a knife and slice it off (i was talking to the keiki while cutting him) sniff! oh and after that i did a mixture of cinnamon and fungicide make it a paste and rub it on the freshly cut orchid.

just wanna know if i did it right? to cut the baby keiki at once since i think the keiki has crown rot and smells like spicy wine ionno!

I think you did the right thing. A keiki is more like a bonus plant, and if it is going to cause a problem with the mother plant, I would remove it too.

:iagree:

You have more of an investment in the mother plant than in the keiki. So save the mother.

i suppose you guys are right. coz thing is the keiki is quite big... and the stems are fat... its just dat looking at the leaves it really looks like it has crown rot and the smell... gee... just hate the scent looks like some spicy wine flavor poured on it! hahaha
