Spontaneous Orchid Plant: Keiki (Phalaenopsis)😀 Shirley Bovshow #shorts
Check out this new orchid plant also known as a “Keiki.” Sometimes a Phalaenopsis orchid will randomly sprout a new plant at the end of a stem (stalk).
Instead of seeing new orchid flower buds, an orchid plant will grow a new plantlet complete with new leaves and roots at the top of a stalk!
When this happens consider yourself lucky! There is nothing wrong with your orchid even though it may seem bizarre with aerial roots floating high above the plant!
When a Keiki (new baby orchid) grows, it's best to wait until the roots grow a few inches long (take a look at the roots in the orchid in the video).
When orchid roots are 2 or 3 inches long, you can cut the Keiki from the mother plant and repot the orchid in a new pot!
Keiki’s are rare in Phalaenopsis but they do occur. Keikis are the easiest ways to propagate an orchid plant though you can not induce keikis to grow!
They happen randomly on their own!
This plant was rescued from a trash bin by an orchid lover.
She was thrilled to see that her act of plant kindness rewarded her with not one, but two keikis on one orchid plant!
