I've found that if I add little bits of soil/peat every few days when the roots of cuttings in water are about 2+inches, it helps the cuttings prepare for the time when I finally place them in soil.

@austinslinkerd7247 4 жыл бұрын

i have also found that adding about a tablespoon of soil into the water encourages root growth!

I am a new propagater, I have found while in the water, if I take the cutting and trim off a bit of the stem every 2 days, I get roots popping on half by day 3, I was shocked, I was going to buy some root hormone stuff, but doing it this my way is working! And the rest have sprouted by day 5, I only had to throw 1 away out of about 25 in my 1st batch. And the soil trick I am going to do tomorrow thanks to the comments above mine! I was wondering if that would help and you all have done it, and it helped you said, So Thank You!

Thank you for the video! I really appreciate that you showed us a plant that is already settled and developing new growth. Every video I watch about plant propagation seems to be the same: the person prepares the cuttings, puts them in water and then transfers to soil. And that's it. No one ever shows what the plant will look like in X weeks or months after being transferred to soil. Your video was very helpful!

First I would like to say your vocabulary is fine, Your English is very understandable. Your plant videos are interesting and informative. I am experimenting with growing my plants with the roots hanging in my aquariums. The plants love the fish water. My Pothos I had to divide. Both plants have long roots growing down into my tank. My Spider plants have experience explosive growth and are growing through the top and side slats of my aquarium cabinet. They have also many runners hanging over the front of the tank. Thank you for your great videos.

Pothos is by far my second favorite plant to grow aside from a Monstera. I think it's because the care is easy, and the leaves are beautiful. Some people find it too common, but I'd say the reason why it's common and often times a best seller, is because of the care and overall beauty of a Pothos. I enjoy propagating Pothos as well. Within two weeks you'll see roots and within a month you can plant them. This video was informative. Hope you continue to post more content about plants.
