Every stem on my Arundina graminifolia that has finished blooming has three little bulbs. I assume these are keikis but they have been there for months and none are forming roots. Do I just wait?
Has anyone propagated these and how did you do it? Thanks

Hmm, interesting!
I would guess, wait for roots to form and then dislodge the keikis.

Yes, BigBill agrees, let it form roots before dislodging them.

Thanks folks. I wish I could get a clear pic of the whole plant, every stem that bloomed has 3 little guys and they are all arranged in the same pattern.

Hilarious! Guess it depends on my pre-natal care.
