Yes, sir, I have a very large air fern and it’s in a pot and it’s outside now what I’m just wanting to know can I cut off stems and have them grow babies whatever I really need to know because I really don’t want to chop out unless I know it really needs to be trimmed😢
We call that "Babe in the Manger". Upon seeing the bloom, you'll understand. Ours 1st bloom of the year was last night. Plant was gifted to me in '92. Zone 7a and we keep it under the trees from spring to late summer...rain is seemingly no problem for it. Blooms every year...actually have several huge plants and they have gone wild with growth by summer's end. Needs no babying. Just jam a stem in some dirt and forget it...new plant soon! Enjoy!!
OK, I’m putting on my jammies and going to Walmart now. Not really, but this is an interesting idea I want to try. If you have a glue gun with those plastic glue sticks, you could use about 3 little beads of the plastic glue to hold up the platform the plant is on. Either glue the zip tie or mesh or whatever you use to the inside of the bottle neck, or just put little beads of glue on the glass and set the little plant platform on top of the beads. I like the idea of inserting a little fill tube into the setup. If you can get one of those extra-wide straws used for boba tea, it will make it very easy to refill the vase.
My Queen of the night has a long leaf with several leaves growing out on each side of the leaf. To propagate this one leave with the several leafs on each side. Can i just break them off? And then just plant in dirt. Or on top of dirt with a rock like you did? Or leave the leaf on the counter until the end of the leaf grows roots and then plant in dirt?
I had mine i submerged in water for 3 months till the grew those baby leaves and then i put them in my "swamp" where i mixed 50% soil and destiled water and the grew more baby leaves and i have a question is it ok if they still dont have roots but they grow ok from the original cutting?
It should be if you transfer them to peat moss. I'm not sure about leaving them in water though. This method seems to work better than water propagation.
I tried this. It works. Some of the stems grew roots and I planted them. It took about 2 months. But a few others, even though some new leaves grew never grew roots. Will it take more time? Thanks.

Propagation is fun to do, but if you really want a new plant it might be worth while to just purchase one if you can get them locally. About $10 at my local Lowes, again propagation is fun but expect to wait 3-ish years before you have a plant which is a decent size worth of planting in the yard. I took about 20 cuttings 2 years ago, unfortunately I only lost 2 of them which means 18 remaining and they are all doing very well but still pretty small. I wanna say its going to be at least another year before they are roughly the size of the ones I can get from Lowes for pretty cheap. Really my point is time is money, fun project but 3-ish years before decent size, and another 1-2 years for the plant to establish itself in the yard.
It's fun, but yes if you're wanting larger plants right away then you will have to spend a lot of money. It depends on the objective, how soon one wants mature plants, and patience.
Sand is typically made up of silicate material. The volcanic sand I would imagine is more mafic in composition. However, since the pumice is volcanic, I don’t see why it wouldn’t. What if you tested them out to see.
i just bought 3 Jiro persimmon trees & 2 Kieffer pear trees....the cut at the top is fine.....they don't want it too long...it will grow out just fine...
Thank you for this video. I have an incredibly leggy bloodleaf that I’m trying to fix via propagation and pruning and this was super helpful for that process!
So this plant will not work in a terrarium that needs a grow light, as that would be too much light for it? I am trying to grow it in my dart frog terrarium. Can it grow in sphagnum moss and substrate?
Interesting. Mine is still in a pot and only 2 feet high. I gave a pup to someone and it got up to 3 feet when planted in the ground. Of course is was in the middle of the growing season when that happened so it could have grown some more.
A friend gave me there's because it has laid over the sides of the pot. The center of the plant is brown, but the outer tips are green. Can it be saved, other than propagation? TYIA
The seedlings will remain small for a while. If you fertilize the leaves and give them plenty of light their growth rate should increase a little. Just make sure you fertilize them properly so as not to kill them.
I’ve used both natural fibers and synthetic ones but typically synthetic. If it’s a plant that gets transplanted regularly it should be fine with the cotton fiber wicks.
Thanks for this! I got a begonia Pavonina a while ago and your channel was super helpful for care/prop guide(it’s thriving!). Got a selaginella arriving soon so I’m back here for more tips :)
