Using Keiki Paste
 

I am new to the forum so high everybody. Is there any body that knows how to apply keiki paste to cattleyas. Maybe to the rhizome? I have applied the paste to phalaenopsis and to a oncidium. I will have to wait to see if anything happens. I made the paste myself from 4 months of research on the net and a book from J. Ariditti. The paste consists of cytokinins (BAP) anti-auxins (tCA) and vitamins B1, B4, and B8 mixed into lanolyn. For the roots I use super thrive. Is there anybody that can give me more info on how to apply to cattleyas. The cattleyas are 2 years old and don't see any hopes of a single flower out of ten plants. I've been using the paste on other ornimental plants as well.

Hello, I was wondering if you would mind sharing your recipe for keiki paste with me? I have used keiki grow plus before, but i have about 30 orchids (phals) and i would really like to make it myself if i can? I have been looking for almost a month now & just found your post, so i thought what the heck! I really appreciate any help you can give! Thanks & have a great night!

Sure I Will. Took me 6 months of hard work to get it. But I'll have to dig it up from where ever I may have put it. Its been 2 years now.

You apply the paste to the "eye" of cattleya. It is supposed to stimulate dormant eyes to grow new pseudo bulbs.

A year later. I could not find my binder that had the formulas in it. Going to have to take a drive to read a book. rickwbarber@yahoo.com

A year latter I'm getting back to you, sorry. Couldn't find my binder with the formulas in it. Going to take a drive to get a book to get the formulas.
