KeikiPro (Growth Activator / Lab-based)

KeikiPro is a high-quality plant hormone (primarily cytokinins) formulated to stimulate node growth in aroids and the growth of new shoots ("keikis") in orchids. 

This Keiki paste offers several key benefits for both hobbyist and professional gardeners:

• Natural Formula: our Keiki paste uses natural plant hormones, making it a safe and eco-friendly option for plant stimulation and propagation.
• New Growth Points (for aroids mainly): It amplifies plant growth by stimulating new nodes in a controlled way.
• Easy Propagation (for orchids mainly): It simplifies plant propagation by stimulating new shoots in a controlled way.
• Cost-Effective: a single application tends to do the trick.

When using KeikiPro, there are a few factors to consider and recommendations to ensure the best results:

• Timing: The optimal time to apply Keiki paste is during the plant’s active growing season, typically in the spring and summer months. However, if you’re cultivating plants in a highly controlled environment, such as a grow tent or cabinet, year-round application is likely effective.
• Plant Health: Only apply Keiki paste to healthy plants. A weak or stressed plant may not have the resources to support new growth, which could result in poor outcomes.
• Application Areas: The paste should be applied to nodes or meristematic areas where new growth is possible. Avoid applying it on the leaves or other non-growth zones. It will also work with codexial plants too.
• Environmental Factors: Ensure your plant is in a suitable environment, ideally warmer rather than cooler, with 23 degrees being optimal. The temperature should be above 20 degrees for the cytokinin to be absorbed effectively, as lower temperatures can prevent absorption due to the plant's cellulosic barrier.
• Dosage: Do not stimulate too many grow points at the same time, less is better. Get familiar with the paste first. 
  

Please note that if your plant is a slow grower, KeikiPro will not accelerate its growth, as this is not the intended purpose of the paste.

How to use KeikiPro step by step?

1. Choose a healthy aroid with a visible node.
2. Clean the area around the node with water and let it dry.
3. Gently scrape the surface of the node with a sterile tool (knife) to slightly expose it.
4. Apply a small amount of keiki paste directly on the scraped area of the node.
5. Wait 4-6 weeks for new growth to appear, keeping the plant in a warm, humid environment.
6. Once the new shoot or root appears, care for it as you would the rest of the plant.

When using KeikiPro, a little dose is better than a high dose. Using too much paste can overwhelm the plant and may result in irregular growth or "burning" of the nodes. It could even kill the plant. And remember that patience is key, as depending on the plant species, it may take several weeks or even months to see results, so don't be discouraged if growth isn't immediate.

Please follow the safety and storage indications:

• Keep out of reach of kids & pets
• Use as directed
• Seal tightly after use
• Store in the fridge for best results
• Shelf life: 1 year unrefrigerated, 3 years refrigerated
