Default Does KeikiGrow Work?

I'd like opinions on the Keikigrow and Keikiroot products. Do they really work? They are realitively expensive. What other products are available for the same purpose?

They work in many cases. They are hormone products. You can use vitamin B1 to stimulate roots with some - which is a lot cheaper than hormone products such as NAA.

Any homemade formulas to try. I have a few rooting hormone products, and one is a gel. Worth a try I guess?

I have use keiki grow for over ten years with quite good luck in getting keikis on my Phals. You need to keep it refrigerated to last longer. Keike Grow is a paste and is only suppose to be good for a little over 1 year. Mine still worked after being refrigerated for 8 years. I have never tried Keiki Root. I have more recently tried Keiki Pro which is a liquid and kept at room temp and is to last for several years. My results so far look very promising. Keiki Pro can be used for more root growth, branching spikes, aerial and basal keikis, activating dormant nodes on plants with pseudo-bulbs. Can be used as a diluted spray or straight out of the bottle.

Really? isn't it something like KeikiPro? for the last one, they recommend in the HP NOT to refrigerate... and I remember a friend of mine, who wanted to buy it for me as a present the last time she visited me, and got so annoyed when buying it, because the seller was calling her every now and then "to ensure" she would be at home for the delivery as "it cannot be refrigerated and the fall is so cold now and it would be damaged within seconds and blablabla and blablabla..." Fazit: my friend sent tha guy to hell, and I never received KeikiPro
