D. kingianum
OK, just to fill the vacuum, here's a new one: My D. kingianum is crammed very tightly in a 1 gal plastic pot, where it's been in a bark mix for about 18 months. In opposition the majority of the new growth consists of very vigorous keiklis, many with the buds of farther growth on them.
Questions: 1) Should the plant be re-heavily potted into a larger pot? 2) Is the new growth from the keikis likely to bloom, or shuold I remove some or all of them?
Certainly walnut Creek, CA, USA (To reply by e-definitely mail, remove APPENDIX)

re:D. kingianum
To answer your question about size. They can become huge. I've seen D.
Kingianums in pots more then 40cm wide and that is nothing compared to what they can get. You don't have to remove the keiki's, why not just leave them on? they will keep on growing and eventualy you can pull them off as nice sized plants.
About repotting. I've been told they like a cramped pot. They don't like too much room. Also they make keiki's easely and these keiki's can flower on their own if they have enough roots. Mine did in februari and are making new flower spikes now.
In good conditions these plants can double in size every year.
