Repotting an Orchid Keiki - Phalaenopsis Orchid Keiki 

It's been more than a year since you repotted the keiki, would love to see an update!! Thanks!

This was the best I've watched. Thorough explanation. Easy to understand and I didn't have to watch a 28 min video! Thank You!

Thank you! I have just followed your instructions to pot my keiki. It too is about 8 months old but has a complete stem of flowers growing. I've left them on - I hope I don't lose them!

The joke about 3 hands was funny. The humor was not lost on me! Thank you for this video, I've been watching a little keiki on my own orchid for a while and I think it's ready to be repotted but I wanted to make sure I did it right.

Thank you for a very informative video. I purchased my first orchid recently and want to make sure I look after it and get beautiful blooms year after year.

Excellent, brief and succinct and just what I needed to know. Thank you!

I really liked the video. Your speaking was clear, the video was well shot and the information was easy to understand as you pointed out what keiki and spikes were as you talked.

Thanks fot explaining so clear! I'm just beginning with Orchids, so I can use your lessons!

Just the right info I needed. I will follow your procedures and hopefully it will be successful too. Thanks a lot for your well produced video.

Great little video. Gave me all the information that I needed plus more. I appreciate that you did not ramble on about a bunch of stuff, just stuck to the issue. Some videos are ego feeds for the instructor but this one was not and it was terrific. Many thanks!

Your voice is so soothing, I keep zoning out.

I've just potted my keiki, very interesting, thank you Vince

Brilliant video, short and direct to the subject... Thank you!

Nice keiki's you have there...good luck with them and thanks for posting this video..

This was an interesting video. I’ve never seen an orchid with these anomaly’s. Excellent video!

Thank you. Very good presentation. As soon as one of my orchids produce a keiki, I am going to try this method.

I have one with a leaf on a flower spike right now. I also have one that produced a kiki. Thank you for this video. I'll let mine grow a bit longer before I transplant it.

Awesome video, The voice sound so clear its makes me want to see the whole video, And very interesting Keiki you have. Good job!!!

I am happy to watch your video and learned about keike. Thanks a lot.

So interesting. I have never seen a keiki grow so strangely. Even though two of my keikis started to bloom as well, it was just one huge flower and the keiki continued to grow. 💜 Beautiful video!

This was so relevant. Have a Mother plantvwhich i repotted. It threw out 2 Keikis also with new Flower stems. Your Show How, simple and informative Thank You

Thank you. Good, clear instructions. I’m doing it myself now!!!

I was not aware that Orchids could grow that way ^_^ It's the first time I have taken care of this plant and when leaves began to grow I thought it was how the branch would bloom. Thank you so much for the info.

Thank you so much! I realized from your video that my Keiki, is very healthy and I should have cut it off a while ago and repotted. Thanks for your help!

Awesome video. Love you are a freak of nature with 3 hands

Thanks for the video. I have a Keiki with five leaves, six roots and a spike. The mother plant is a miniature Phalaenopsis. I think I'll let the roots grow a little longer, then repot using your advice. Thanks again 👍

Thank you for this informative video, it is going to help me tremendously.

Love your voice! Thanks for great video!

Thanks I finally got the courage to take off the keiki and plant it. It was big!

Thank you for this very helpful video. I never heard of a keiki orchid-but that’s what I have. Both mother and keiki have finished blooming. I will cut off the keiki as you’ve shown.

Every once in a while I sprinkle used tea bag grounds into the bark - They seem to love it! Keikis and spikes galore :)

Thank you! Really enjoyed this video.

An awesome video friend... It would be guiding me from learning into action. Thank's for video sharing.

I love it when nature does stuff out of the ordinary

Thank you that was exactly what I needed to know and how to do it.

Thanks so much for the info. My Keiki is a couple of years old and I left it on the mother plant as it puts out the most amazing blossom spike. Now two more have formed on the plant although I've never done anything to propagate from it. I'm going to try and separate the biggest one. I'm hoping it's going to survive!

Informative and not above the heads of the new keiki owners...great video clip

Such a lovely orchid

I hate it when TV shows end with a cliff-hanger and then the next season never comes! :P

OMG you have helped me tremendously! My florist or my mother in law who has been growing orchids for 30 years had never seen this until the one that was gifted to me 4 years ago went crazy. I turned to RU-vid and found you! lol so I'm gonna wait until the roots grow longer before I cut it off to plant. Thanks and I will keep you posted 😙

Very helpful, my orchid has grown a Keiki, so thank you

Thank you, just the information I was looking for.

Great video, very very helpful, so thank you. Would love to see how this Keiki is in due time.

this is very informative thank you for sharing

Really good video. Thanks.

thank you for very clear instructions

i too have an orchid (a mini phal) which has a leaf growing, I thought it was a keiki but is growing too strange. a great plant you have got. cant wait to see more, please keep us updated on mother and baby!!!

Thank you for the advice

I received an orchid from sister in law who had let the flowers drop and it didn't look good at all. I watered it correctly and put it into a south facing window. Suddenly it put on two new flower spikes and a keiki. The Keiki has three leaves and three roots on it. I plan to remove the keiki and plant it soon. The orchid is blooming at the time and just keeps on putting on more flowers at the end of the spikes. It has three spikes, two with flowers and one with the keiki. Interesting video and informative also. Thanks

Lovely! thank you, i have 2 tiny keikis on 2 of my phaleanopsis :)

Thanks for sharing I will plant mine now

great video and very clearly spoken. You should ask for a mini watering can for Christmas! (to make pouring easier)

wow, that must be a super happy plant

Thank you for this video! I'll try this !

That's a very interresting plant!

My keiki still has 4 flowers on the stem past its 4 leaves and 3 roots. I think I will wait until the blooms are gone to cut it off the mail plant and repot. Thank you for your pics and instructions. My plant looks very much like yours.

I have a 2 keiki's on my orchid and was wondering what to do re planting. Thanks for your informative video.

Excellent - very helpful

Very very interesting, great video thank you for the info :)

Very interesting! Thank you!

Thanks so much for showing me how to separate the Keiki. I have one orchid has 4 little keiki babies, and wondering about what to do. You showed me clearly and I am going try to separate keiki for the first time. cheers

My orchid plant has just developed a keiki at the very top of the spike. Now that I have watched your demonstration I guess I shall be patient and wait and see what will happen.

Amazing video

Thanks. I understood keiki clearly.

Thanx so much finally found what ans I was looking for 👍👏👏

Finally I know what to do with my strange orchid. It has a keiki on a keiki apparently . Thank you!

Thank you for tips.

I can't wait to try this

WOWW,,SOO BEAUTIFUL

Interesting vid. Had no idea this could happen.

Thenks for the tips.😊

great information

Hi Real, Your video is great. I too have had this oddity growth on a Phal. I left the baby on the mother plant and it bloomed. I don't know if it was something I did, but soon after the mother plant started to shrivel. Eventually it died. I still have the baby planted but even after almost a year nothing has happened. The plant is very healthy looking so I am just leaving it to see what will happen.Thanks Patsy

Thanks for sharing I'm going to check if there is another video to follow this one.

Thank you very much!

great tips

thanks for video this is the first time i have had keiki so here go,s

Would love to see an update :)

very help full buddyyy,,thank u

Just cut off and potted a keike today. I was in hospital for a month so it was getting limp. It has a good root system, sure hope it comes back.

please, do the update!!!

Thank you!

Thanks for your help , it was a very useful video! What happened with your orchid after you left the spike?

Thanks for the informative video. Is there a best time to do this procedure or can I do it any point throughout the year and flowering?

I been watching your videos, you did a pretty good job. I am wondering how old is this mother orchid? Pretty amazing when it forms keiki

Hey, I've got a keiki doing the same as yours did. I've got hydration issues with my girls. Still working on that!

thanks hope the plant is doing good..?

Isn't it! Crazy little rebel orchid!

I just got my first orchid and I'm trying to learn all I can. I've watched many gardening videos today that annoyed me a bit and so I really liked this one. You don't go on and on and on and there are enough details. So, thanks! (Also, is your last name Greek?)

Just what I was looking for! Bought my mom an Orhid 2 years ago and after it flowered it grew babies! Two of them. I removed the one from the top which has a few nice roots. I'm going to plant it now. Did your baby have the energy to bloom?

Nice video. Very clear and straight forward. I had pollinate one of my phalaenopsis orchid flower and ovary starts to swell a little, and how do i obtain the seeds from the flower? and when do i obtain it? Is there any relating video? =) Anyway THUMBS UP for the video.

Hi, I love this video. Did you ever make the update?

When you repotted & put the water in the bottom of the bowl, do you just leave the pot in that water or when do you take it out. I am sorry but I am unclear on that part?

Very interesting for a beginner. Thank you. What happened next?

A wonderful, informative video!! How did this little keiki fare?? Carole from Chicago

Great video! For the 8 months that your keiki was on the mother plant, did you water it or mist it separately to the mother plant? I have two phalaenopsis orchids with apical keikis in "infant" stages and I'm not sure what to do when they start producing roots. Thanks.

Thank you very interesting video. I had just planted a Phalaenopsis keiki that has been growing for almost 6 months. It has 2 leaves and 3 roots, longest root is about 6 inches. I have planted it in a clear pot with overnight pre-soaked bark. Do you think it will survive? and what does wrinkled roots mean ?

hi i really love your video,especially the real fast hands,lol ...thank you for sharing that tip with the public...i am new to this so i need all the tips that i can get...i have 5orchid in my collection and i am praying that i can care for them and not murder them...how do i find that kaeki cream....my older phae is in bloom and has dropped a few leaves...guess that the rest may follow soon so i just wanted to be sure of what to do...thank you much......

nice vid i like it

Hello nice video. I was wondering if you treated the plant in a particular fashion to create the growth of the keikis: did you fertilize in any specific way or use Keiki paste? I have several plants on which i applied keiki paste and there is plenty of growth on most of them. However it is early to tell if these are secondary spikes or Keikis. Thank you.
