hey sandra,
I think the replies to me would go for you too. The images you posted are of a dendrobium like mine, so although for different reasons, it would seem we've both got unhappy plants, so they are reproducing to survive. 'Keiki' is apparently Hawaiian for 'baby' (love Wikipedia!), so it doesn't sound too dangerous!!
This seems also to be how these plants can be deliberately propagated, so there must be 'keiki cultivation' advice on here somewhere - particular to dendrobiums. You can certainly start new plants with them. And maybe our parent plants will survive too. Like you, my plant was flowering happily before hand, so we can't have been doing too much wrong.
I'm going to have a look around and I'll post smething back here for you if I find it. It'll be tomorrow now (11.20pm in UK, off to bed), but I won't give up.
fingers crossed for a bit of advice . . . |
