Application Notes
Keiki paste is spread on the node of an orchid inflorescence to induce growth of a clone of the mother plant.
General procedures for inducing clone are as followed:
1. Carefully remove the bract of the flower stalk with a wooden toothpick. Nodes that are closer to the base have higher chance of inducing a plantlet.
2. Apply a small amount of keiki paste with a toothpick onto the exposed bud. Reapply after two weeks if there is no visible sign of growth.
3. Swelling of the bud will occur after a few days. After several weeks, leaves will appear.
4. Plantlet may be removed from the stalk when a healthy leaves and roots have developed.
Please note: Effectiveness depends upon plant species. Some plant species induced one or more plantlets with keiki paste faster and easier than others.
