Have been searching the forum for info on den.keiki. There seems to be more people with phals than dendrobiums......

The problem for me is that I have tried to pot up several keiki and they keep dying!

I have a new keiki on a plant that has never had one before and I'd like to make sure this one survives.........

On my other dens, I tried cutting away just the keiki after the roots have gotten around and inch and a half to two inches and potting them, that didn't work..........I tried cutting the cane and leaving the keiki attached to the cut part and planting that, but that didn't work either.......

The last bunch of keiki I got were forming on a dying cane and the cane had broken off the mother plant, so I attached the whole thing to a tree and I am hopeing that this will work...........so far, the keiki haven't attached to the tree yet.

Oh yeah, I also tried cutting a piece of the cane and attaching it with the keiki to a piece of tree fern (Hapuu as we call it here......) with a bit of sphagnum wrapped around the keiki roots. It's been months and the keiki is still alive, but hasn't grown hardly at all and hasn't attached to the tree fern.

Any suggestions? I'm tired of killing keiki's!
