    Default How to remove Den Keiki

    Hi, My Den Frosty Dawn has a keiki. But the keiki is on the lowest nobe. Should I remove it? It only has two roots, one is about 1", the other is 0.5". If to remove, how? The roots are attaching to the cane tightly, and has almost reachede the media.

    Thanks
    Qing

    I would leave it where it is growing. Do not remove. The roots are really not ready anyway. The plant (Keiki) would strugle to much. JMHO

    Cheers!
