Roots Growing on Orchid Canes: Dendrobium Keikis?

What You're Seeing

If your orchid grows via canes with roots emerging at nodes (joints), it's likely a Dendrobium. These can produce keikis (plantlets) at cane nodes.

Safe Propagation Method

1. Cut off only the top section just below the node with roots.
2. Pot this section (roots + cane above) separately.
3. Monitor—parent plant seals the cut and continues growing.
4. If successful, repeat lower down the cane.

This minimizes risk to the parent plant while testing viability.
