KEIKI BLISS

[Sandy4453]

I love Phal keikis...have never been lucky getting my Phals to grow any but, that's all changed. All these pics (except for the first 2 and last one) were all produced with the help of KeikiPro solution. The first 2 pics are P. Be Tris and grew naturally without any help from the solution (equestris are prone to keikis) and the 2 smaller ones are both growing double keikis. The last photo was a tiny keiki already growing when I bought the plant last January, now separated from momma which, is now growing 2 more keikis!

I know this may bore a lot of you but this has been my growing hightlight this summer and I just don't feel like curbing my enthusiasm!

Thanks for letting me share my excitement with you!

P.S. And these aren't all of them, I've got even more growing.

Way to grow Sandy!

It's not at all boring. Only 2 of my phals have sent off keikis-- both basal keikis.

How did you do it?

When I lived in the Philippines, (where I grew up) my P. equestris had keikis, but the one I have here in IL does not. I guess I should be glad it blooms every now and then but still not as often as I think it should.

I seem to have better luck blooming my Phal hybrids here.

KeikiPro solution! The equestris (2 out of the 3 I have), are prolific...no help from me! I too, have better luck with my hybrids than species Phals.

Thanks for sharing your success with the Keiki Pro, Sandy. I know a lot of people have wondered if the stuff works as claimed.

Your first two-- the equestris keikis that happened on their own are really sturdy little plants already. Way to go.

I'd love to hear more details about the process-- how long did it take for the keikis to sprout after the K-Grow. Where did you keep the plant, etc etc

I have a plant I used KeikiPro on. It has 4 new basal growths. I don't want to hi-jack the thread, would you like to see?

Great gowing with the Keiki's Sandy.

Never had one myself although I do have a potted keiki a relative of mine gave me. Of course the fact I always cut off the stems won't help me get keiki's

[mehitabel]

BirdSong, I think it would add to the thread instead of hijack. So yes, please post the pictures. AND please tell where you put the keikigrow to get multiple basal keikis. Did you put it directly on the lower part of the stem?

[Bird Song Farm]

I don't know if they will all make it, a couple are pretty small but I'm going to nurse them as much as possible as I think I'm going to lose the mother plant.
That's the reason I tried KeikiPro on it.

I put it (sprayed) right where the growths are breaking through.
