Update on my Phaius, I tried a little experiment on some of the flower stems after the flowers were finished. I had bought a vial of a growth regulator paste called 'KeikiGrow Plus' to try to propagate some of my other orchids from keikis. Since last year I had one stem of the Phaius put up a keiki, I thought to try this on them as well.
Well, the results are pretty amazing! Every node that I applied the paste to has a nice fat little keiki coming along. I'll wait until some roots show, then pot them up separately.
ps. Lin if you are still watching this thread, do come over to the Florida Gardening thread and post some of your lovely garden pictures? We have a nice thread going, on 'What's in your Florida Garden'.
