-First use all sanitary precautions, wash you hands, and clean all your ustensils in a mild desinfectant or flame them. Keep KEIKIBOOST away from eyes, skin and children. Store at room temperature (around 20°C), and use within one year of purchase.

Before starting anything, work with clean and disinfected ustensils, do not forget to wear plastic gloves, we are dealing with hormones.

You need:
An orchid of course, a cutting tool (scalpel, rasor blade, cutter etc...), a tooth pick or forceps.
Keiki initiation will be better if : you apply KEIKIBOOST one week at least after the last flower fell, apply KEIKI on the lower nodes only or if you want to higher your chance for a flower spike, then apply KEIKIBOOST to the upper nodes.

Now you need to make a lateral cut on the left side of the bract, be careful not to harm the meristem or the flower spike behind it.

Make the same cut on the right side.

Take you toothpick and slide it behind the bract.

Pull the bract with a movement going down and towards you at the same time.

Remove the bract completely.

Then apply KEIKIBOOST lightly with your toothpick on the meristem and be carefull not to harm it, since your wear gloves you can rub KEIKIBOOST to get it on uniformly.

Well, you are finished, clean and desinfect your tools and throw away the disposable ustensils. Now you will need to wait to know if you will have a Keiki or a new flower spike.
