Keiki paste is a fun and seemingly magical goo used to clone orchids, create new orchid blooms, and generate new growth on just about any healthy houseplant. Keiki paste works by using a plant growth hormone called cytokinin to bio-hack a plant’s dormant nodes, encouraging those nodes to activate and sprout new vegetation.

At its simplest, keiki paste is made of a plant hormone called cytokinin and the water-resistant base, lanolin. Crazy Keiki Cloning paste is made in the USA from the highest quality ingredients. What sets us apart is our highly tested proprietary blend of lanolin, cytokinins, and vitamins that not only promotes maximum results but also protects and helps your plant heal during its regenerative process.

Keiki means “child” or “offspring” in Hawaiian. Keiki paste is aptly named because it creates new baby shoots from the parent plant.

Yep! While it’s not really cost effective, definitely more messy, and easy to purchase online here, for those who love DIY, it's also possible to make your own keiki paste. There are several recipes online that have the wrong ingredients, so we suggest following our simple two-ingredient keiki paste recipe.

Keiki paste is not a rooting hormone, so if you’re trying to get a cutting to grow roots, you’ll need a different product with auxin, the growth hormone specific for generating roots.

Originally formulated for orchids, keiki paste will give your orchid extra flowers - or even an entirely new plant. Apply some paste to the nodes higher up on the flower spike to encourage more blooms and lower down on the leaf nodes to encourage your plant to make a WHOLE NEW BABY ORCHID (aka - a keiki!).

A baby orchid that is left on the mother plant will bloom in sync with the mother plant after just TWO years. This creates an unusual and vibrant flower display. Or you can remove and repot the keikis to expand your own orchid collection or give them as gifts to friends.

No! You can apply keiki paste to the node of just about any plant to stimulate new foliage growth. Try it on a leggy vine like a Pothos or succulent like a donkey tail or string of pearls to fill in some of those empty areas. Got a rubber tree or fiddle leaf fig with a bald spot? As long as your plant is healthy and growing, keiki paste can do its magic.

Keiki paste is safe for pets and humans. The active ingredients are not toxic in such small quantities. The main ingredient, lanolin, comes from sheep’s wool and is non-toxic. Breastfeeding moms even use lanolin to heal and protect chapped nipples, as it is safe for newborns to ingest. That said, it's always better to keep non-food substances away from pets and kids - save your keiki paste for your plants.

Keiki paste cannot rectify underlying plant health problems. The health of the mother plant will ultimately determine how much potential growth energy is available for keiki paste to be effective. Proper care involving sunlight, water, and fertilizer remains indispensable for plant health.

After applying keiki paste to a scored node of your orchid or houseplant, you should expect to see signs of development in one to three weeks. This time may vary, though, due to the health of the mother plant, the type of plant, and growing conditions. Full keiki growth will also depend on these factors. Give your plant the best care possible, and be patient!

Keiki paste helps promote new growth points on your leggy plants, and if your plant is receiving proper care and optimal conditions, this can result in filling out empty, bald spots on plant and transforming your leggy plants into full, lush specimens again.
