Orchids Propagation. Grow Many Baby Orchids On Flower Stalk: Investigating the Orchid Fraud!

Orchid lovers often wonder about propagating their favorite plants, and it turns out, it's quite easy to do at home. Monopodial orchids like phalaenopsis can be propagated by dividing the stem, while sympodial orchids such as dendrobium can be separated by cutting leafy pseudobulbs. There's also the intriguing phenomenon of orchids spontaneously growing keiki plants. In my exploration, I came across various methods on YouTube and the internet claiming to stimulate keiki growth, ranging from cytokinin keiki paste to using everyday kitchen items. I decided to try a method involving garlic water, but unfortunately, it didn't go as planned. The orchid's peduncle turned yellow and started rotting, leading me to doubt the effectiveness of the approach. Frustrated, I began to scrutinize other videos and discovered a potential deception. Many creators seem to use fake keikis, probably from other tropical plants. To uncover the truth, I delved into the biological mechanisms of orchid vegetative propagation. Orchids can naturally produce keiki clones under certain conditions, aiming for self-preservation and propagation. While there are genuine methods, many videos claiming rapid results are likely fake, failing to replicate natural conditions crucial for successful orchid growth. #orchidscare #orchidsforbeginners #orchidrepotting #propagation #phalaenopsisorchids #orchidsneverdie #phalaenopsis #orchid #orchidslover #orchidspecies How to Make 100 Orchids From One Without Keiki Paste https://youtu.be/SGOlvjGubow The Main Cause Behind All Of Your Orchids Health Problems. https://youtu.be/pTmyv7ek6fk Orchids Propagation By Stem Division https://youtu.be/5dxOul_pHgc What Happens If You Cut Your Orchid In Half?
