Orchid Propagation

Question

I have a mature orchid [5 years] with a new stem growing out of the base. A small plantlet has developed on the end of the stem, and a flower stem has developed out of the plantlet. It has seven blooms at present. Can this plantlet be severed from the parent plant and, if so, how?

Answer 1

This plantlet is called a keiki. This article will help you with seperating it from the plant: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/orchids/orchid-keiki-care.htm
