How to Make 100 Orchids From One Without Keiki Paste

Place stems in damp spagnum moss in tall container, keep covered and damp slightly above room temperature until roots form; I just saved you nearly ten minutes.

Where did you actually cut it? Straight from the bottom? I have a spike which does not want to bloom, I want to experiment on it.

[@rdreynoldsbanana]

Was the spike cut after blooming occurs, during bloom and "dead headed", off a younger spike, or from a different state of spike I'm unaware of? I'm wanting to bring info to wife and her orchid passion, but I want the right info to bring ;-)

I make the Orchids reblooming while ppl said it won’t rebloom next year. But I threw all flower stems after finishing their duty. From now, I won’t throw anymore and won’t wait until the flower stem died. I will try this method. So helpful. Thank you.

[@tallybeaverman9462]

This is one I have not heard yet. My thought is, if you can use nature, that is the best way, but when all else fails, use products on the market to get the job done. This idea is really worth trying. In the old days (60yrs ago) we cloned Cattleyas by cutting the back rhizome half way through and wait for a node to grow a leaf with roots. Then cut it off and plant it in it's own pot. It worked about 70% of the time. I like your idea and I have flower spikes to work with as soon as they quit blooming. You're never too old to learn new stuff, thanks for the info. 🙂👍

I had no idea I even could do this. To think of all the flower stems I've cut off and thrown away when they were finished blooming!

Then I noticed three strong roots,and waited for the roots to be at least two inches long. I carefylled removed the keiki from the stem of its mom and planted it an orchid container with moist moss, The keiki is producing beautify new leaves. This was all done naturally.

[@daminipatel5519]

I put my stems in a clean Doritos jar with kitchen roll in there so the stem isn't in the water directly but the tissue keeps it moist. So the stems aren't touching the bottom of the jar there is about 3-4cm of scrunched tissue in there (not loo roll). I placed it in a long glass vase similar to the one in the video. Then cling filmed the top and poked two very small holes. This method worked for me. The water I used was mineral and I have the set up placed on a north facing window in the kitchen (I do not have blinds or curtains, so it gets all daylight). I top up the water in the jar when I see the water level dip below 1cm or so in the Doritos jar. But it will not need to be done often unless the environment is quite warm. I suppose you could scrunch kitchen roll and put it straight into the glass vase as appose to the Doritos jar within the vase, but I have a stone windowsill and figured it would make the environment too cold for keiki production.

Zachary Stewart what was your reply to your question

[@anaphylaxis6599]

The stalk length doesnt matter as long as it has active nodes

[@valeriea.larsson1687]

do you add water to the new transplanted orchid? When & how much do you fertilize & w/ what ? A very good easy to understand video & thank you.

[@angelinazlatkova7560]

i have the same question. Do we need to add more water afterwards

[@tanelim]

If I cannot find moss, is there any other substrate I can use?

[@pelicanformation3802]

I never knew about this. Orchids are about the only plant my parents can grow. I wish I knew how to reprpduce them. Very cool.

[@yliberal6355]

Excellent video, where have you been? Thank you for all your knowledge!!!

[@renegadetherapist5664]

FASCINATING! I have orchids and plants I was repotting and I have moss that is sitting in water, Can I use wet moss to propagate or does it have to be dry? I never knew how to make baby orchids. thank you!!

This is absolutely fascinating - thank you SO much for your informative and easy-to-follow video! I will definitely give this a try when I remove the bloom-free stems when my orchids have finished blooming. Where can I purchase the moss? I have one further question and that is regarding a ‘secondary’ flower spike. How many times is it wise to allow an orchid to produce flowers from its original stem? In other words, does it stress (or weaken) an orchid when it produces a secondary flower spike branching from the original stem?

[@tai9sen]

yes you can

[@zdenkatrstenskasimkova7614]

Thanks for this video. I tried it and it works 100% :) after two months, I`ve got nice small keyki, need approx 2 more month to be poted :)

[@ankitabhuyan4848]

Hi, do we need to change the water? If so how often ? Thank you .

[@zdenkatrstenskasimkova7614]

@@ankitabhuyan4848 not really, just spray every 2-3 days gently. I always removed excesive water from the vase.

[@amberscott1867]

I just tried this today!! Looking forward to the results! I hope my stems are as successful as yours!!

[@angieruiz3103]

Any updates ?

Orchid in the wild bloom over. Yells, "Hey, anyone got keiki paste, I'm all out!"

[@shyrericabunquin2106]

Hello ☺️ can I use a cling wrap as a cover and then make some holes??? I actually did it yesterday but if cling wrap is no good I will use same one as yours 😊 looking forward to have successful growth as well ♥️ thanks for sharing this method 👍🏻

[@angeladerby2513]

Just shared your video. I found this to be the easiest, best, and cheap way to grow your own orchids without chemicals, or even bacterial growth that may harm you and the environment. Thank you So much for sharing with us....Hi, Angie from eastern North Carolina but live in Colorado now. Hope you and everyone here has a Safe, Blessed and Wonderful day.
