Name: Elaine Sarasota, Fl The one constant in life is change
So I hereby sheepishly admit I have been 'messing with Mother Nature' just a tiny bit here. I bought some 'Keiki Grow Plus' and applied it not only to my favorite Phal stems once the flowers were gone, but also thought to give it a try on the stems of my various Phaius that bloomed this spring. Well! I have 3 or 4 tiny keikis starting on the Phals, but every single stem joint that I applied the stuff to on the Phaius has a good sized keiki started.
I'm excited, can you tell??
Now, anyone have any experience here? Do I wait until they show roots, as I will with the Phals, or cut the stems and lay them on sphagnum, which is the accepted method for propagating Phaius? Guess I have enough of them, I could try both methods and see what works, but any advice or opinions are appreciated.
Elaine
