Gosh Sticki mine haven,t done that!.......how amazing

Im not sure its meant to???

Mine have, wasn't sure what to do so just left them too grow, they died in the end, I think when the arial root grow you can plant them up but I don't know how, hope someone can help you.

It's a keiki. Mist the arial roots when they form and then cut off carefully, with sterilized tools and pot up.

Thank you meanie, I shall keep looking out for the roots, I think it has four keikis!

Remember this................

Yours was the third comment!

The basics apply to Phals too.

Remember this,you say,Meanie? ..I never saw it the first time ! just read ALL the comments,from Keiki's through to Annie Lennox,school,Daley Thompson etc,etc..and back to Orchids ..!!..thanks,it passed the time till breakfast..:o))

Crikey Bloomer! There must have been a hundred comments on that!
Stickis fault though as she's always wandering off topic!!!!

The basics apply though, with the most important (in my opinion) being the holes in the side of the pots to ensure good air circulation.

Lol.Meanie..OK,we will blame Sticki..but must admit,I am guilty of going off topic too..as lots are.:o) It made me smile anyway..and agree about the correct pots..I just repotted mine yesterday,but still in the same size pots( with air holes) ! :o)

so whats for tea tonight????

thanks meanie, yes i do remember that, i liked that name keiki too!!

what i didnt expect was that they grow so far up the stalk. no roots yet, I will be watching.

glad you like the chat bloomer!!

I found a Thai Green Curry in the freezer!

Could be a year before it's ready to sever Sticki.

Bloomer - I have a lovely keiki that I've been looking at for two years. I'm thinking of doing a mount with it.........

what a treasure trove that freezer must be! I have a new recipe book ~ healthy eating for food lovers!! or something like that, made loads of the recipes already

a year!!!! nice little things though arent they? there is a shoot/spike with a bud too

be antique frame soon meanie!!!

The freezer is barren now except for the chilli!!

Healthy eating tonight was cheese on toast with plenty of tabasco!

thats pretty good planning!!

have you grown any chillies? scotch bonnet? jalapeno? or hotter?

Just got some Naga chilli seeds from my neighbour. I have an unknown type of chilli growing (40 plants actually) from seeds that I collected from a few fruits that I was given last year - they're nice and hot.

sound volcano-type hot to me!!

Certainly approaching bonkers hot!

After vindaloo comes phaal? Then bonkers?

I reckon that Windypoo is hot enough! Did eat Phaal once, but it was not a pleasure. Have you ever seen man vs Food?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaagh never seen that before! How horrendous is that! And its 5.30 am! Not so good!

It's a fun program! He gives the challenges a damn good shot most of the time!

Nearly made me feel ill! I didn't want or need to be awake that early but something is a bit wrong with my bread maker and it woke me up clunking and banging!

Are all the challenges as difficult as this one?

They vary between heat and quantity. Heat I can do, but not to his level. Quantity is the one that beats him most though. I do find him to be quite affable as a presenter.

I shall have to dip into that onto find out more! I don't like it too hot! Chillies bite!
