- Crazy Keiki Cloning Paste by Southside Plants – Sprout Leaves on Bare Branches with Natural Cytokinin, Hormones & Vitamins – Keiki Paste for Plants and Orchids – 0.25oz

Absolutely obsessed with this!!! I saw it on FB or TikTok and wanted to try it and then a fellow house plant lover said it was the best stuff so I knew I had to get it! It’s super easy to use, just use the little pointy or flat ended sticks they provide, scoop a small amount of the paste and rub it onto the area of the plant you want more growth. So far it’s been working on some of my propagation I’ve been doing with some pothos. I’m seeing good plant growth and excited to try it out on more. It is really sticky but I mean “paste” is in the name :) small container but it does go a very long way, you don’t need much at all.

This stuff really works!! I’m fairly new to houseplants, so I’ve been learning a lot by trial and error. My Pearl & Jade pothos had a some vines that were looking scraggly, so scratched a few of the empty nodes and applied a dab of the paste. It worked much faster than I expected on my pothos. The nodes started sprouting in just a couple weeks and now have full clusters of leaves. If I had known how well it works, I probably wouldn’t have applied it to as many nodes. I’ll probably have to cut and propagate those areas soon, to keep the foliage from getting too crowded. I also have propagated cutting from my Swiss cheese plant that was well rooted in a pot a while ago but wasn’t showing any signs of new growth. About 4 weeks later, both of the areas I applied the paste have new leaves starting to open. I also applied it to a few bare nodes on the canes of my polkadot begonia and those nodes are starting to sprout now as well. When I first opened the packaging of the paste, I was a bit disappointed by how small the bottle was. Now, I totally understand why. A little definitely goes a long way. Literally you only need to apply a tiny bit. Scratching the node with a knife before applying the paste is a very important step. I forgot to scratch the 1st node on my pothos and it is the only one that hasn’t sprouted. I really like the fact this paste comes with applicator sticks, but I’ve found mini bamboo cocktail sticks and toothpicks work well too. I’ve just applied it to a few other plants (my peperomia and my Aglaonema Chinese evergreen) and I’m looking forward to seeing if it works on them as well. I’ll try to post an update if /when I see new growth in those spots.

I was kind of skeptical about if this would actually work, especially for my jade plants, and I was overjoyed to find out that it does! Had an unfortunate grow light accident when a bunch of leaves got burned and fell off and bought this as a last resort for saving them. Followed the instructions for lightly scratching the node and dabbing on a bit of paste, and after a few weeks new sprouts started growing! I’m so excited, I think my jades will look better than ever once the new branches grow in fully, because it will be a whole new branch, not just a leaf. It’s like the results you get from pruning, no cutting required! I even used this stuff on a node with two totally intact leaves, and a new sprout started growing! Like I mentioned, I also use grow lights I bought here (Gooingtop Grow Light 100w) which I think help a lot with the quick growth (just make sure no one accidentally moves them too close to avoid burns!) so I suggest using them in together. I also use Miracle Grow cactus and succulent fertilizer about once a month, which may also help. Amazing stuff, will definitely keep using it. I like that they include Q-tips to apply it. You really don’t need a lot, I actually found that too much slows down growth a bit, so I don’t mind that the bottle is very small. I’ve used probably about a quarter of the container on multiple nodes on five plants. Smells a bit like lanolin, but it’s not terrible or very strong and doesn’t linger after application. I definitely recommend this, and will be using it for as long as I have jade plants.

Okay I didn’t think this product worked. Bought it on an impulse. Read and followed the instructions; and then started reading reviews and was super worried about killing the plants I had applied the paste to but nothing happened. No growth no damage. But now 2-3 months later there’s growth on about 40-50% of the applied spots. They’re small but there. I noticed it worked great and fast on my jades. And slow and small on my philodendron and pothos ( the plant I bought this for. ) If you do plan to purchase this just be sure to score the node but be really careful to not over do it. And patience lots of patience.

It really works!

I was skeptical if this would work on my jade plant I inherited from my late grandmother, but family drama meant this plant was the only item of hers I was allowed to keep after her passing and it was NOT happy to be moved 250 miles away (plus lack of care prior to her passing so already stressed) and lost 3/4 of its leaves and was basically a twig with 4 leaves at the top. I was desperate to save it and fill out the stem again! I applied it to 6 nodes along the stem and crossed my fingers and prayed to the plant gods it would work or at least not harm it further. About 3ish weeks later the node with the best lighting started to sprout. I was thrilled! And now about 3 months later all 6 nodes have sprouts and some including the first have multiple leaves! As to use of the product it was easy to apply. Scrape/slice away a small area of the outer skin of the node and apply the paste over top. I needed maybe 1/2 a pea sized amount per node so while the bottle is crazy tiny you are only using a very tiny amount and for the average person's use its more than enough to last a long time. I suspect I'll be able to get 30+ uses out of the bottle so unless you are crazy about propagating I think its a completely reasonable size to cost ratio. I have about 15 house plants currently and am intrigued to try this on my other varieties with nodes to make them fuller or to propagate. Will buy again.

I hate to write a negative review! I will say this is a neutral review then. The packaging is cute, no problem there but immediately after I got it the base of the clear container shattered. So I sealed it no prob. Then today I opened it and the top part shattered. I’m just going to transfer it over into something. As for the product. It did not work on my fiddle leaf fig (pic) after 5 nodes showing zero response. It did work on my rubber tree (pic). Nothing on pothos. I’ll keep trying tho.

I applied this to one phalenopsis and one golden pothos about 4 weeks ago. My pothos is growing tons of leaves already, and my phal is already growing the beginning of a keiki! So exciting!

Werkt goed , maar is ook geen wondermiddel.

I bought this to clone my phalaenopsis little zebra, it's my all time favourite but kept either getting broken, arriving with crown rot or just plain not being sold... When I found a healthy specimen I decided to clone her, and this paste seems to be working already, just don't know if they are spikes or keiki just yet... would recommend... please bear in mind that most nodes will produce a new flower spike so go as low to the base as possible... I've seen other reviews saying it doesn't work because they have spikes instead... unfortunately orchids are alive and sometimes choose to do flowers instead of a keiki... please be patient with it... it takes a lot of energy from the mother plant...

De för tidigt å säga nåt, men hände lite grejer med växter å de positivt ☺️

(May 20, 2020) I received this product promptly after ordering, with the intention to use it on my houseplants, and I have tested it on a few of my houseplants: my Pink Princess Philodendron, Syngonium Neon Pink, Hoya Publicalyx Royal Hawaiian Purple Splash, and my Gold Dust Croton. There is a decent amount of product in the provided container, which should last quite a while. I am currently waiting to see results and I will update this review once I see (or don't see) results. (June 2, 2020) I want to say that this paste does indeed work, so far! I indeed did try this paste on my prized tropical houseplants (e.g. pink princess philodendron) and did not see any changes at all, but, on the other hand, it created absolutely insane changes in my sad jade plant in half a week's time. My jade plant was living in a north facing window for its entire life, becoming extremely extoliated, and this keiki paste caused immediate new growth when applied to the nodes of my jade plant. I think this is why the paste is called "crazy" keiki paste. I'm not sure why the paste didn't cause any changes on my tropicals, but I will try the paste again on them and see what happens. At the very least, I know that this paste *does* work because it created stunning differences in my jade plant. I intend to update this review again at a later date.
