These “keikis” are identical to the parental plant from the point of view of genetics, which means that you can clone your precious and the best orchids to give as a gift, sell them to other orchid enthusiast or simply make a "backup" copy of your favorite plant in case of infection, disease or just in case if something will kill the original. Plants usually "know" when it's time to make a new “Keiki” usually it's happening after the flower has bloomed.

However, speaking in human terms, a lot of the plants are “lazy”, “stubborn”, or simply too old (just like humans), so they need a swift kicking the pseudo bulb to get them going.
