Is it called the same thing in other plants? My Hesperaloe parviflora did this last year, and I made a new plant that is still growing.

Yes, but it occurs most frequently in orchids.

Thanks. I just told everybody it was a baby plant.

Love the orchid keiki! When I first saw the small picture on the homepage, I thought it was a praying mantis sitting on a plant, lol. I learned that word when I was stationed in Honolulu for five years.
My spider plants make lots of keikis, too. That reminds me, I have to find a home for a couple of them that I potted up.
