Description

Keiki Power Pro stimulates orchids (and many other plants!) to produce new shoots — also called ‘keikis’ from the Hawaiian word for ‘baby’. These keikis are genetically identical to the mother plant, which means that you can clone your prized orchid plants to give as a gift, sell to another orchid junkie, or simply make a ‘backup’ copy in case an infection or your cat kills the original. Plants usually ‘know’ when it’s time to make a new keiki, typically after a bloom is finished. But many plants are simply lazy, stubborn, or too old (just like humans) and need a swift kick in the pseudobulb to get them going. Keiki Power Pro gives them that swift kick. It is a jolt of plant hormone that gets them out of their lazy rut and forces them to DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE!

HOW DOES IT WORK?
KEIKI POWER PRO is based on plant science. All plants respond to biochemical signals which cause the plant to do various things, such as grow more leaves, extend roots, or grow new keikis. The active ingredient in KEIKI POWER PRO is a substance that tells the plant to produce a new keiki. With KEIKI POWER PRO, the keiki-inducing active ingredient is concentrated at one location. The paste itself that carries the active is water repellent, meaning that the active is kept where it is needed and you can water normally. (Reapplications may be necessary.)

WHY SHOULD I USE IT?
If you have a plant that you really care about, making a keiki from it is a great way to ensure that you have a ‘backup’ plant, just in case your main plant gets infected or dies. A small keiki from a prized plant makes a wonderful gift as well. Making keikis is also a great way to expand your collection — you can trade or sell your keikis. Order some KEIKI POWER PRO for your orchid society, and proliferate stuff for future fundraisers!

WILL IT HURT MY ORCHID?
No. At least it won’t if used properly. Here’s an example of IMPROPER use: If you smear KEIKI POWER PRO over your whole plant, you will be sure to confuse it biochemically, and results will be unpredictable. KEIKI POWER PRO is strong stuff — a little dab is all you need! It is best not to use it on plants that are too small, however, since you don’t want to drain your plant of energy that it might need to grow. (I know, I know… Sometimes you don’t have a choice.)

HOW DO I KNOW IT WILL WORK?
Since this is biology, and living things often behave unpredictably (good examples: cats, humans, orchids), there are no guarantees that it will work. The science on which KEIKI POWER PRO is well understood and has been supported by lab research as well as experiments in the field, but some orchid types will respond better than others. Certain cultivars of, say, Phalaenopsis (just an example), will respond more readily to KPP than other cultivars. The condition of your plant may also affect your results. For example, a plant that has been stressed too long or is already near death may be too far gone to save, unfortunately. But orchids are remarkably resilient, and it may be worth trying, especially if the plant is an important one.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
In general, a few weeks. Your results will depend on the type of orchid, condition of the plant, season, growth environment, etc.

WILL IT WORK ON OTHER NON-ORCHID PLANTS?
The active ingredient is based on plant science, so it has a good chance of working on other types of plants, such as African Violets, tomatoes, and other house plants.

WHEN WILL IT EXPIRE?
KPP is good for at least 18 months from your time of purchase. It will probably last a good deal longer than that!

HOW SHOULD I STORE KEIKI POWER PRO?
Store KPP at room temperature in a dark place. Avoid sunlight and high temperatures. Keep out of the reach of children and pets.

WHERE DOES KEIKI POWER PRO COME FROM?
KPP is formulated in the United States to exact specifications by professional scientist(s). It is shipped from the USA, so if you are in the US, you should receive it within few days.
