Place stems in damp spagnum moss in tall container, keep covered and damp slightly above room temperature until roots form; I just saved you nearly ten minutes.
Wow. I tried this and after almost a month and half there is something happening and the new plants are growing slowly from the nots of the stems. Amazing. Big like.
Was the spike cut after blooming occurs, during bloom and "dead headed", off a younger spike, or from a different state of spike I'm unaware of? I'm wanting to bring info to wife and her orchid passion, but I want the right info to bring ;-)
I tried this two months ago. I used six stems - two in each vase. Two stems died. Three stems are still green, but very little change is happening. And...one of the stems is growing a keiki 😁!!! I can't believe it worked! Thank you for this video.
@@marlenebornman1841 , depending on the species i tried this on a monk orchid leaf stub and i stuck it in a small home grown banna under a tree in some loose pine needles/bark, watered it weekly with my others and she seems to be thriving, a younger specimen so no flower stem yet. Let me know your results :)
OMG! Mysteries of all-things orchids revealed! Plus, your delivery is purely coming from a teachable aspect -some orchid experts, I feel, make the subject matter seem more difficult than it is and often sound condescending. You are NOT those things. Thank you for your tutorials! 🙏❤️
I love the glimpses into what it will look like in a couple weeks and a couple months. So many of instructional videos stop without that. Thank you for this high quality content!
As a professional horticulturist I was very interested in this process.Thank you.Something g I've never tried although I am so interested the production of more orchids. Thank you.This is my next hobby to try and with your help should have success!!Corrie Ward
This is great info, thank you! Two of my orchids have made keikis on flower stalks. I hadn’t found anything to explain it or what to do about it before coming across this video. I have a bunch of orchids but have never repotted or done anything besides water them while waiting for new blooms, not even fertilize. This video has given me the confidence to fertilize and repot them. Thanks again!
I make the Orchids reblooming while ppl said it won’t rebloom next year. But I threw all flower stems after finishing their duty. From now, I won’t throw anymore and won’t wait until the flower stem died. I will try this method. So helpful. Thank you.
what an amazing idea! when your kids/neices & nephews have their weddings, they could have bouquets from the same plants you had in yours. I love the idea of heirloom plants!
This is one I have not heard yet. My thought is, if you can use nature, that is the best way, but when all else fails, use products on the market to get the job done. This idea is really worth trying. In the old days (60yrs ago) we cloned Cattleyas by cutting the back rhizome half way through and wait for a node to grow a leaf with roots. Then cut it off and plant it in it's own pot. It worked about 70% of the time. I like your idea and I have flower spikes to work with as soon as they quit blooming. You're never too old to learn new stuff, thanks for the info. 🙂👍
Omg!!!! Im sooo excited i got a little baby on one of the stems (I had put about 12 stems ). The other one is getting flowers...the rest are green but their not dead and nothing is happening to them. Im just excited I got one baby this way !!!
Thank you so much for making such an awesome video. Pretty much a beginner with our kids. I got my first Keiki on my first orchid. So I’m so excited to see organic ways to start getting my own orchids.
I just happened to find this video and so happy I did. A few months ago I had an Orchid whose blossom leaves die and I was going to toss it away. Instead I cut off the orchids, put in on my window sill, watered maybe every other week and it blossomed again and the new Orchid flowers have now last for about 3 weeks. Now I know how I can reproduce more Orchid plants using this video method. Thank you Class Flowers!
Super, I ve become a big fan of you. You are genius. Please tell more and I like to know from you Dr Bh Md Shafiqur Rahman Gibon from Bangladesh Salute you
I found this video helpful, yes a bit repetitive , but in general good information. When you look for information online your not always looking for a lot of info, you need three steps, this is what I’m teaching, this is how you do it, this is what it produces, and a few notes on what can go wrong or watch out for. In general people like to talk, and if your impatient you can press the 10 sec point onscreen and get to info you need. Hello from Ireland Erin, your Orchids are beautiful.
I cut the top off a 1.5 liter water bottle. I had no vase tall enough. 😅 Fingers crossed. Thank you for the informative video, you are easy to follow and pleasing to the ears. ❤
This is very similar to one procedure for growing Nepenthes pitcher plants from cuttings. I would never have thought to use a big vase as a greenhouse. Great idea!
My keiki developed on the mother’s green stem on its own. I noticed little leaves developing which I thought was strange because it was so high up from the plant, leaves, and toot system. Then I noticed three strong roots,and waited for the roots to be at least two inches long. I carefylled removed the keiki from the stem of its mom and planted it an orchid container with moist moss, The keiki is producing beautify new leaves. This was all done naturally. Mom plant is very strong and so is its baby!! First time for me to experiencing!!
Thank you,You have totally demystified orchid reproduction,and tell me why I have a piece of moss on my container.I will be doing this.I am only grateful at present to keep them alive which I have become capable of in last few years.I love orchids because they are easy and the long flowering.i am so chuffed when they flower.
Wow, someone speaking about phals that actually knows what they are talking about. Cant wait to try this out. I believe that this is a viable method because once I tried it and it worked but I threw it out as I didnt know what was going on. Great video, Thank you for sharing
Excellent tutorial. I am new to the orchid world and with your guided wisdom, I hope to achieve a comfort level that will yield numerous, healthy orchids.
You gave an interesting and informative detail there. Thank you. it's a part of horticulture I have not studied well,and I appreciate your way of putting this over. You make it look so easy,anyone following your instruction will succeed. Thank you.
Thank you for a great video about orchids, one of my orchids after flowering I have put her to rest for a while but within 3 or 4 weeks in one stem I notice something different, a little orchid is growing, thank you again for explaining so well how to grow more orchids 👍, the stem is still attach to the orchid
Definitely going to try this! I knew dendrobiums can sometimes do this if you take a cane off but I had no idea phals could do it from an old flower spike! I used to throw these flower spikes away thinking they were useless... Just another amazing thing phalaenopsis orchids do...
It is good to learn as much as you can from different people and various ways of propagation. But to be honest what I didn’t like about this video is the demonstration. She already had the pieces precut and everything else ready in advance. It is nice to see videos showing steps 1 all the way till the very end. Thank you for the information.
What wonderful information, thank you so much for sharing. I can't wait to try this, who knew it could be so easy, little patients and the enjoyment of creating more beautiful orchids!
Thank you so much for posting this video! I’ve used the keiki hormone before and a few times grew the babies, but mostly had more blooms instead (which is not a terrible thing😁). I’m going to coordinate your method, which seems wonderfully easy, and cut the stems during the moon phase that encourages growth. Thanks again!
Sphagnum moss grows everywhere here in NZ and I consider it to be and all in one (container/food:plant/insect other matter land and decompose on it and it retains moisture.. can be used as an emergency water source as well as a poultice due to its antibacterial/medicinal properties..I have grown many plants in it by wrapping moss (the same amount if it were a container and shape it to a ball) around root system holding it together with string/flax..You can then hang it or whatever then spray water as needed dependent on plant and the conditions it is used to living in are met..the method shown here has to be monitored due to phalaenopsis being an aerial orchid, if it gets to wet it will rot..I also leave the stems for 24hrs before doing this method so the cut seals, and you can use any type of clear plastic just poke holes in it...Excuse the long blah blah..lol..Nice vid
Hello I have some questions ! What happened with the rest of the orchid stem ? the one you cut the keiki? Garbage or put it back on the container for another keiki ?
a little less redundancy in your wording initially, or viewer can fast forward through many parts. Basically: cut the flower stems leaving approx 4 healthy nods, put them in some filler from their previous environment. Create a semi greenhouse affect, but allow for air with some holes. Fast forward to 9 min. in. 👍
People who are too impatient to view a 10 minute video on how to clone orchids probably aren't the type of people with the patience to actually clone an orchid. Just my two cents.
@@cheeseburgerwalrus499 I am sure most people would have watched the video anyway. This person is simply trying to summarise it in a more clearcut manner. And i always get a screen shot of comments like this which is really helpful.
There was much more information in that 9 minutes, and although I slightly agree with you, I would rather learn more from longer tailored videos, such as the effects of hormones on orchids than be rushed through with a generic step by step guide
So excited to try this! I have a very large unique-looking orchid that has bloomed beautifully 3 years now, but this year, while it was still blooming beautifully, the leaves began to get more and more limp. I wanted to wait to try to rehabilitate it until the blooms were gone, and now the leaves are very leathery and limp. So... I am really hoping to get at least one baby from this beautiful plant in case I am unsuccessful in rehabilitating the mama plant... Trimmed and planted the stems tonight! Here's hoping!
If it hasn't croaked by now water, water, water to rehydrate. I run my plants under a tap to flush them through once they start feeling too light. No water into the tip during winter.
Thank you for posting this idea and process. Along with many other viewers, I am going to give this a try. I, too, am interested in knowing how often to mist the upper strata. Thank you again. Date: 11/10/2017
You don’t always need keiki paste or hormonal paste.. I have phaleanopsis that are already blooming for over 3 years, all of them have had keiki’s while blooming and I don’t use any paste. I do not remove the flowers, and even the keiki’s bloom while still on the motherplant. The keiki’s that have been placed in a pot bloom also very long . It all comes down to place the plant on the correct spot in your house. All my orchids are placed at the windowseat, facing South/South East..
Thank you so much for sharing this method, now its gonna be easy for me to have more orchids since flowers are so expensive here in Norway and also this video is very helpful since plants for me do not survive but im not giving up, i'll try this method, next year because its too late for me now to collect moss, again thank you so much
Very interesting method! I wondered if the flowering spikes could be used for rooting, but this method is far superior. I'll try it out - thanks for sharing!!
This is the video I was dreaming of finding... Thanks for the useful info! I will definitely try this. I was wondering if one could use bark instead if moss in the first stage of this process (putting the stems in the long vase with the plastic on top.
Just shared your video. I found this to be the easiest, best, and cheap way to grow your own orchids without chemicals, or even bacterial growth that may harm you and the environment. Thank you So much for sharing with us....Hi, Angie from eastern North Carolina but live in Colorado now. Hope you and everyone here has a Safe, Blessed and Wonderful day. Will subscribe and share as much as I can.... ❤️🤗🌿🪴🍃🪴🌿❤️🤗
Thank you for a very informative video. One question....after you have the stems within the covered vase, how often must you add water up until the time when it is removed from vase?
Thank you for demoing how to increase our orchids. I love orchids, but find store bought ones, too expensive for my budget. Well demonstrated. Again, Thank you
Katuma McLaughlin If you have a Produce Junction near you, they have them for $9.99. Also, what I like to do is frequent the Lowe’s and Home Depot plant clearance area and buy up the sale orchids. I’ve got them for $1.00-$5.00! Can’t beat that! The best is not knowing what they’re bloom coloration will be.
I don't know how it is where you live, but in Poland bigger grocery stores like Carefour or Tesco do carry orchids and if a couple of blooms has fallen down, they do big discounts on them. I bought my first one for like 3$ and it was still in a good shape, now it's blooming like crazy. After this video I'm thinking about buying the most discounted ones (without the blooms), which are for 1-2$, to try this propagation method.
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TECHNIQUE ABOUT ORCHARDS. I HAVE TWO THAT STARTED, BUT WITH ORCHID CHIPS. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL FOR A MOMENT AND THE WAITING IS THE HARD PART. FIRST TIME, ACTUALLY! I THOUGHT THEY DIDN'T LIKE ME. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING. AWSOME PRESENTATION. HAPPY GARDENING.
Awesome video!! You should have labeled it "what the florist doesn't want you to see!" LOL. (OH the drama) Thank you for the simple straight forward info and tips. Take care.
i am definately going to try this out, i have about 12 orchids ad i am going on a hunt for some good peices of wood to make a woven frame to grow a wall of orchids on my back porch they seem to like it there and grow very well i have one orchid which is still flowering after almost a year now i cant wait to see how it goes and see my orchid wall idea grow it will be absoloutly stunning and now i know how to propogate them i can make as many new plants as my heart desires thanks so much for sharing your knowlage lovely lady its well appreciated
First of thank you for the great video. I did this too my plant after I saw your video but noticed that the moss sucked up all the water do I keep putting water up to the bottom of the stems. Thanks Andy.

There is probably a reason people look at videos and not just reading.
What are we going to do with that 10 minutes
.........Oh I know I fancy watching a video about orchid propagation
Thank you.
Wow. I tried this and after almost a month and half there is something happening and the new plants are growing slowly from the nots of the stems. Amazing. Big like.
Where did you actually cut it? Straight from the bottom? I have a spike which does not want to bloom, I want to experiment on it.
Was the spike cut after blooming occurs, during bloom and "dead headed", off a younger spike, or from a different state of spike I'm unaware of? I'm wanting to bring info to wife and her orchid passion, but I want the right info to bring ;-)
@@gyppaat I would suggest cutting it halfway and above one of the nodes.
I will play with it after I finished the experiment with keiki paste

Thanks for this video it is very informative especially for a beginner! I’m going to try this and fingers crossed it works for me. Take care.
Was great experience
Thank you so much for sharing this with us 🇺🇸 ❤ 🇦🇱 I just tried and gotten 2 keiki in one stem love it 😀
Did they grow roots yet? If so, how long did it take?
Best information provided by you and in very well-mannered explained.
Thank you for a very informative video. One question....after you have the stems within the covered vase, how often must you add water up until the time when it is removed from vase?
Same question 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for demoing how to increase our orchids. I love orchids, but find store bought ones, too expensive for my budget. Well demonstrated. Again, Thank you
Katuma McLaughlin If you have a Produce Junction near you, they have them for $9.99. Also, what I like to do is frequent the Lowe’s and Home Depot plant clearance area and buy up the sale orchids. I’ve got them for $1.00-$5.00! Can’t beat that! The best is not knowing what they’re bloom coloration will be.
I don't know how it is where you live, but in Poland bigger grocery stores like Carefour or Tesco do carry orchids and if a couple of blooms has fallen down, they do big discounts on them. I bought my first one for like 3$ and it was still in a good shape, now it's blooming like crazy. After this video I'm thinking about buying the most discounted ones (without the blooms), which are for 1-2$, to try this propagation method.
What you are doing is amazing, Thank you for sharing. I do have a question, what kind of mouse were those?
I just tried this today!! Looking forward to the results! I hope my stems are as successful as yours!!
Any updates ?
Great demo and instruction. Fascinating. Thank you! 💜
Amazing instructor. The best video I have seen. Thanks so much, I was ready to give up on orchids
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TECHNIQUE ABOUT ORCHARDS. I HAVE TWO THAT STARTED, BUT WITH ORCHID CHIPS. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL FOR A MOMENT AND THE WAITING IS THE HARD PART. FIRST TIME, ACTUALLY! I THOUGHT THEY DIDN'T LIKE ME. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING. AWSOME PRESENTATION. HAPPY GARDENING.
Yes, they definitely need moderate natural or artificial light to grow.
Nice video, is it applicable to all kinds of orchids?
Looks very interesting I must give it a try,thanks for these interesting tips
Thank you for this video,,I got an idea ,,, love orchids 😍😍😍
Same here, hello Mary, how are you doing today?
Thanks for the info God bless you fantastic idea Im from south Africa
Would you be able to cut the stems shorter? Seems like you could cut each stem under each node possibly yielding more orchids? Great video BTW.
Awesome video!! You should have labeled it "what the florist doesn't want you to see!" LOL. (OH the drama) Thank you for the simple straight forward info and tips. Take care.
This was sooo informative and easy to accomplish. I’m new to orchids and I can’t wait to nurture them and see them grow. Thank you so much!
Howd it go?
love this information and the video! im a total beginner in orchids, but i love to learn something about them 😃👍

Thank you so very much for the information, makes perfect sense to me that this would work so happy to have found this video!!
Really nice! I love free plants, just pay for the soil.
Thank you for the excellent information. I really had no idea how to propagate orchids; I might give it a go. kind regards
First of thank you for the great video. I did this too my plant after I saw your video but noticed that the moss sucked up all the water do I keep putting water up to the bottom of the stems. Thanks Andy.
Use an elastic band to secure the plastic to the neck of the vase. Thanks for sharing. I am definitely interested in propagating my orchids.
So cool! Are you able to use the stem after the blooms are faded? Or do you have to sacrifice the blooms?
Loved this. So many other sites are gill of themselves and no substance! Thank you for the informative videos! Keep 'em coming!
Me too, how are you doing?
Thanks for this video. I tried it and it works 100% :) after two months, I`ve got nice small keyki, need approx 2 more month to be poted :)
Hi, do we need to change the water? If so how often ? Thank you .
@@ankitabhuyan4848 not really, just spray every 2-3 days gently. I always removed excesive water from the vase.
AMAZING PERFECT DEMONSTRATION!!!
Orchid in the wild bloom over. Yells, "Hey, anyone got keiki paste, I'm all out!"
