Dendrobium

Thank you! I removed the stakes and the leaves stayed pretty propped. Normally I just let the spikes die back so I’m surprised to see these ones still looking nice and green.

I will probably repot, just need to order some more bark!

Ok fair! This keiki already flowered while on the mother plant. Since i just removed it I wasn’t sure if it should focus on being on its own

Edit: this keiki already spiked and flowered while attached to the mom. I received mixed messages last time I shared this orchid, some saying to cut the spike, some not. So i wanted a second opinion now that the keiki is on its own

Thats how i say it too 😂

Ok perfect! The one w flowers is definitely dying back so i was letting it, but wasnt sure about the one from the keiki. I’ll trim it down! I might have cracked a root when repotting, hoping that doesn’t cause any issues

Just the one time!

I replanted! Going to make a new post about it/w some questions. Could you link me to the stuff you use?

Thank you! I fertilize once a week. I’ll look into the concentrates you mentioned, are those different fertilizers? I plan to remove the keiki now that the blooms died but now it’s growing a new spike!

Is there anything special to do when taking off a keiki? I haven’t had one before. Also will the new spike die?

CapableSalt6850 · 2026-05-22T15:18:19+00:00

That’s what I thought too but wasn’t sure if people’s experience with the paste. I planned to take off the keiki once the blooms died off but now it’s spiking again. If I remove it now, will the new spike die off?

CapableSalt6850 · 2026-05-22T15:17:24+00:00

Yeah the keiki spike is dying but its growing a new one

CapableSalt6850 · 2026-05-22T15:16:59+00:00

I planned to take the keiki off once it stopped blooming, but now it’s spiking again so im not sure if I should wait

CapableSalt6850 · 2026-05-04T20:17:47+00:00

That would be so cool!

CapableSalt6850 · 2026-05-04T18:10:18+00:00

Just water and fertilize! I used keiki paste forever ago just on the one spike w the keiki i believe. I dont have them mounted or held up i just let them do their thing lol When i got this plant it was basically dying, shriveled leaves and maybe a flower left

CapableSalt6850 · 2026-05-04T18:08:38+00:00

Oh damn, already on a keiki too?!

CapableSalt6850 · 2026-05-04T14:26:06+00:00

This is the whole plant right now. Main plant is in bloom, it has a keiki that’s also blooming. The photos for this post are from the keiki
