Question
My orchid has three clones on the flower spikes I am not sure what to do with them. I saw you posted that you can use chemicals to separate and make a new plant. Can you explain how to do this and what will happen if I do nothing with the clones.

Answer
Barbara, the clones, otherwise called keikis, should not only develop leaves, but also roots.  When these individual plantlets have 2-3 inch leaves with roots you may separate them from the flower spike on which they are growing.  Removal may be by twisting them where they join the flower spike or cut them off at that point.  Be careful not to damage the roots when you remove them and pot them up on their own. The chemicals you are referring to are plant hormones in a paste that is called keiki paste.  That is used to induce keiki formation.  Since you already have clones (ie keikis) you don't need to induce them and they should develop on their own.
