In horticulture, a keiki is a plant produced asexually by an orchid plant, especially Dendrobium, Epidendrum, and Phalaenopsis orchids. The baby plant is an exact clone of the mother plant, sometimes flowering while still attached to the mother. The word keiki is Hawaiian for "baby" or "child", literally "the little one".
- On a Phalaenopsis, a keiki is a small plant growing from one node along the flower stem. Keiki growth may be induced by prolonged exposure to high temperatures during the final phase of spike growth.
- On a Dendrobium, the keiki is typically found sprouting along the length of the cane or from the end of the cane.
