Flowering keikeis on cut flower spikes? Male
Default Flowering keikeis on cut flower spikes?

Hey board,

I had a couple of phals I "inherited" they each had two flower spikes. The spikes had each one or two flowers left.

While I was transferring them from sphag moss into S/H I cut the spikes and put them in water so that my wife could enjoy the last few flowers.

Being the lazy guy that I am I left them there even after the last flower had fallen. A week or so later I noticed that the couple of the joints had started to bulge and it looked like something was growing so I left them. its been about 3 weeks and it looks like there are a couple of kekeis growing on the flowerless spikes.

What is really odd is that it looks like the keikis have small buds that looks like closed flowers. Is this possible?

I have attached two photos sorry they are not that good if you want I will post more.

Should these actually be keiki what are they chances that these spikes will be able to supply them with enough nutrients to last long enough to move into other media.

All my orchids are in S/H. Can you move keiki directly to S/H? What is the best method to try and raise these little ones?

the attached pictures are taken about a week apart.
