I made an inexpensive moss pole by buying plastic chicken wire and a 12 ft piece of plastic gutter.its very sturdy and you can make tons of moss poles out of it.

7:58 Good that you watered the leaves directly. Foliar feeding (diluted plant food in a spray bottle) helps a lot. I've seen pothos and philo's in regular (non-climbing) potting set-ups with enormous leaves when greenhouses do this.

I do enjoy your shows first of all and Just to give you a little heads up, it does get better with children and the sickness …You can tell that you have children because everybody gets sick all the time it goes around the family like the holidays right on time. Don’t worry it gets better. I’ve had a few kids, and it usually stops with the snot noses and the sickness when they get about four or five then it doesn’t get as frequent usually but when they hit the school age years going to school, you get different kind coming your way. But of course we would never ever live without it because that’s the joy of parenthood welcome to the adults who have children happy holidays😊😂🎉

So as of the last year of me messing around with pothos props I have actually seen even more success with an air stone with a flow valve added to the mix seems to help speed up the process even more. Basically everything you did plus that and I'll have roots in no time at all. I really do think this will be one of my favorite video series it's very interesting to learn from your experiences like the grooves in the board are freaking genius.

Just wanted to know if you sand the wood I always think this really helps it grabs the wood I use 60 grit I use this on my pvc pipes as well and they grip tight I drill holes, fill pvc with soil and moss to hold soil in the pipe. They root into pipe hole and around the pipe as well good luck

So a while back I learned how important sunlight is to developing root growth. It’s been a game-changer for my propagations. Based on that experiment, I’m wondering if it would be better to use clear plastic wrap to secure the nodes as the roots form instead of opaque Velcro strips 🤔

@@TechplantChannel yea that stuff^^ if you even have a water reservoir, the main benefit of this fabric is the capability to soak water I believe it was 150cm up. and since its synthetic there shouldn't be a mold problem. I still have some left over and this idea in my head for quite some time, but never came around to try it yet^^
@derwerner1214 7 ай бұрын
welp. You don`t add fertilizer to the water until there are large roots already present. Also you let the cutting dry out for an hour and use pure water - so you don`t get these brown spots on the stem (or use charcoal). Also this is very low tech. get yourself a ph/ec meter at least! If you don`t know the water - you know nothing!
@TechplantChannel 7 ай бұрын
My ph is about 7.8 I have an api testing kit
@derwerner1214 7 ай бұрын
@@TechplantChannel And how many Microsiemens? This is the point. You need destilled/pure water. With fertilizer present there is no need to establish any/ big roots. But you want those roots big! (Do an experiment if you don't believe me). I would not go over 7,5 with epipremum or monstera!
@TechplantChannel 7 ай бұрын
@derwerner1214 never heard about measuring water conductivity, seems like an interesting thing to look into. I've tested distilled water vs my well water and haven't seen a huge difference but I can try again. I'm not sure it's worth me modifying my water PH but maybe. Lots of my plants get yellowish but I think it's over lighting. Maybe the ph is causing a failure of certain nutrient uptake tho. I did take some out of the light and they greened up nice tho
@derwerner1214 7 ай бұрын
@@TechplantChannel There are EC meter for like 25€ . Just search for `HM Digital EC`for example. With the conductivity you see exactly what kind of water you have and how much the plant needs. Take a monstera for example. A cutting needs zero (0-50) ms to produce roots. But with established roots and a good light you can go up to 1200 microsiemens. You have to step it up slowly (start with 300, than 600...). Wiih the ec meter you can check afterwards how much the plant needs next time: if conductivity is going down after adding fertilzer the plant needs more - if conductivity is rising there is possibly too much fertilizer and you want to change the water and use less fertilizer. You can also check the soil by adding pure/destilled water to it and check what is flowing through. You will learn a lot with this!
@derwerner1214 7 ай бұрын
@@TechplantChannel I want to add: Yellow means not enough fertilizer. In my oberservation an aroid is recycling old leaves or leaves that don`t have enough light. PH level is very important - too high or low means the roots are noot able to suck those nutriants out and get damaged. Well water also contain small amount of bacteria that is harmless for humans but can infect fresh cutted plants. My well water has a conductivity of ~500ms. This will not encourage rooting like pure water (please proof me wrong :D )
