Love the fish tail hoya cuttings....I will add that hoya hopefully this year to my collection! I wish I would have known about perlite for rooting years ago....this video is so helpfull...also that String if hearts was super big and rooted in water....all mine are still small so I have lots to look forward too!! Beautiful job! Spring is near!!
Thank you so much you have been so helpful I love the perlite it works so well and has saved several of my pants. I have been putting them in little cups in plastic boxes so the roots dont tangle up with the other plants .
@@EverythingPlants I ordered some Hawaiian pothos nodes for that. I will try to propagate my philodendron micans and Brazil. Have you ever propagated leafless tradescantia sillamontana? I am trying to save my boss’s plant.
Good Morning! I propagate in water and have a perlite prop box as well. Funny, it never dawned on me to put Jade cuttings in water. I suppose after seeing new plants grow from dropped leaves in the soil, I figured that was the best way. Thank God for you and your tests and projects 🤩😍. I really would love a Hawaiian Golden Pothos! Have you put one of those on a plank? My problem is too many propagations 😂🤣. Thanks for this video, another great one!🤩😍
I would stick propagation with Jades. I find it super easy to just plop them in soil. I do have a Hawaiian on a moss pole currently. It's growing so fast.
Hi, great info and so happy I found your channel! Do you need to have so many roots before you put plant into soil ? I have a pothos Brazil in water for a couple months but don’t have as many roots as what you’ve shown. Thanks so much!
All your propagations look amazing Jeff! I am definitely going to start a perlite prop box. I will look back at your videos to find the one where you set it up. Thanks for all the time you take for these wonderful videos
@@EverythingPlants hahaha, well. Jeff 🇨🇦, it's a small dilemma. But I guess. They are good for plant swaps with friends. Possibly. Have fun 😊 with them. At least they were fun to grow especially the Jade plant. What a stunning, set of roots.
Another Great video! I’d love to find a Hawaiian pothos….so pretty! I started a small pothos in perlite … honestly I don’t even know what it is. I purchased one that has green and white varigation and leaves are much different in the same pot. I’m confused …..pearls and jade, manjula, marble queen IDK who’s who lol but I do love the plant so I decided to put a few small leaves in perlite. The leaves were pretty small and the roots in comparison looked great so I put it in a tiny pot with soil. Right away it drooped all over the place 😕 I thought it was a goner, but then I put the pot in another covered plastic container and like magic they stood up again. 👍my monstera took a nose dive big time so I chopped it down and propagated some nodes in moss and they are growing slowly … after this vid I placed them in perlite so 🤞One question for you when you chop down large plants in their original pots how or do you adjust your watering?
For monstera deliciosa....I propagate directly into soil. You'd need a pretty big perlite prop box. I believe for my monstera cutting I let it stay dry for a couple days then watered lightly. Just enough so that the aerial roots would be exposed to water. I don't soak the entire pot because the plant obviously doesn't have roots to soak up that moisture which can quickly rot the stem. I hope this helps.
Wow,you have a lot going on. I did propagate some Brasil and my Hoya Lacunosa in perlite. It worked well. Potted now and doing fine. Thanks for the video.
@@EverythingPlants I didn’t notice much difference. I added the Brasil in to an existing pot. I had not tried water propagating on them before so no comparison. I tried to water propagate the Lacunosa first and it wasn’t working. Transferred to perlite. The only plant I’ve water propagated is my Golden Pothos. It grows like a weed no matter what I do to it. 🌿💚
I would consider transferring that gorgeous jade succulent water prop to leca or pumice instead of soil when it's time. As you mentioned it might struggle going to soil but it might be perfectly suited for a semihydro pot.
Love that intro and the music! And man, you've got way more propagations on the go than me. But I had some water issues back in November and all my water props died. -_-
I really need to try perlite propagating, haha. I'm so late to the trend. I tend to stick to water for most things and leca for hoya props but everyone seems to have a lot of success with perlite! Thanks for showing us!
Those roots on your alocasia just kept going and going 😂. Perlite prop boxes have been working great for me too. I have three Dieffenbachia reflector plants growing out and the oldest little leaves are plain green without variegation, so I wouldn''t worry. The bigger leaves are showing the lime green spots nicely.
I have not tried prop boxes yet. I will eventually! All my propagations I have in water I put a cutting of golden pothos in them and it does help rooting a little faster esp for those that take forever to root lol. I just love your videos I learn so much from you?
I bought a jade plant that had every single branch broken off. Trying one in water, one in sphagnum and one in soil. Didn't even think of perlite. A leaf from my thanksgiving cactus broke off and I have it in perlite. Ridiculously long roots! I guess I should switch one to perlite.
As always very informative and details are in-depth. Question how do you water the perlite?. Do you mist it or just add water periodically? I personally haven't but seeing is believing. Interesting for sure. I might just give a try see what happens. Love your videos tho!
Omg so many propagations 🍃🌿🪴🌱🙌🏼 It’s winter and I’m trying to propagate under grow light since we hardly have any sun right now. It’s taking long. But I pulled some cuttings out of water and trying the perlite. I just got a new Micans and put them in perlite, I hope it works under grow light! Any suggestions for winter propagating? I added too much water in perlite so now have to go outside and remove all the excess, some videos say leave some water, but you make sense, transition is easier with less water, since I am going to eventually transfer cuttings to soil.
Perlite is awesome. I have no water sitting in the bottom of the container. I rarely have to add water into my prop boxes. If you open them up often then just keep an eye on the moisture levels. I hope your props do great!
I would love to see some info on semi-hydroponic for house plants, if you do any of that? I have some plants in pumice with a water reservoir, which I love instead of soil - but not sure what brand of nutrients is best?
I have a calathea orbifolia (small plant) growing in leca as a little experiment. Honestly, I use dyna grow foliage pro and I simply diluted it in water (like a very small amount) and it seems to be okay. I am not going to buy something special for just one plant hahaha
than you so much for the explanation . but just want to know what fertiliser for longterm water potting sir ? Any suggestion . (as I ever using A-B mixed but so many salt crystal over the surface of Hidroton ) .
I root all my cuttings in water first. It's a success pretty much everytime, some cuttings end up rotting in water. I haven't had much luck with propagating in perlite, nor sphagnum moss, they just end up rotting.
No method is 100% I prefer perlite because there is a minimal transition period for the plant compared to the water to soil method.....that's all. All methods are great
I have rooted Dieffenbachia stem cuttings in potting soil and they rooted. However, it took around 2 months until new shoots began to emerge. Does perlite speed-up the process? What is the time scale for stem cuttings compared to tip cuttings, and does perlite make it root faster?
Some plants definitely take longer than others. I have had success rooting dieffenbachia in water, but in an opaque container. For whatever reason they take longer if the container is clear. I am unaware if perlite has any change on the rate of root growth....I've yet to try it with dieffenbachia
Great video and advice, I just "discovered" your channel. I have 2 questions. Do you stick the cuttings directly on dry perlite? How do you hydrate your perlite without it having a layer of water on the bottom, or it all floating to the top? I have used pumice which is a bit heavier but more pricey. Thanks!
Hello Iris. I'll link a video before and the setup starts around 6mins in. When I first set up the box I soak the perlite them strain out all the water. This allows all the perlite to be wet. I then add the cuttings. If the perlite gets dry over time, I use a spray bottle to wet the perlite again....but no pooling off water at the bottom. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p7GGMRYk01A.html
How much perlite do you use for propagating??? I've tried snake plant cuttings and both have rotted. Amy suggestions, I have more cutting that have calloused and want to try again. I've been successful with water, but want to try perlite. Thanks in advance.
Jag är glad att du tycker att min kanal är intressant. Jag hoppas att du stannar kvar för fler husplantsvideor! I am glad you find my channel interesting. I hope you stick around for more housplant videos!
Awesome! I don't know much about this method, but I do know people use fish tank water for their plants and swear by its use....so I could definitely see the benefits of this method. You know what???...I'm going to make a video on this idea!
Hey!!! I hope you see this soon...but do you have a picture of your setup with propagations so that I can use it in a video? I will be filming this hopefully today. If you can't that is okay too. Send it to my Instagram @everything_plants_ca
I don't usually let them get this long. I potted up the Alocasia (video to come soon) and I didn't cut any roots. It is enough of a shock potting in soil....I did want to shock it any more so I just left them. I'm not sure of this is the right thing or not lol
I have never propagated a dischidia before, but I definitely would have done it in the perlite prop box. They would be very similar to a hoya. What is happening to your cuttings?
@@EverythingPlants I have some 3 inch strings and several leaves that seem like they are getting softer every day. Some start to go translucent. I initially laid them on top of the perlite but after seeing your instructions, I went back and brushed the perlite over the stems. My thought is it couldn’t hurt to have more contact. I also moved the box under a grow light - it’s a recycled spring mix lettuce box so it’s deep and clear on all sides and top. Oh well, if t doesn’t work, I’ll try again.
I have never propagate a fern before...they usually produce side growth which can then be seperated. I have never seen a water propagated fern....sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Not really....I probably should as plants clearly grow way faster. I have taken one of my Jades outside and it exploded with growth. I'll probably do that again this year
I usually propagate in water because I have not had any success with other mediums but I saw monko_the_plant propagate in perlite a little differently from what I am used to seeing so I tried her method and so fa, it has been going great. The cutting I have of a heartleaf philodendron that was not rooting in water rooted in perlite. I am also trying out wet stick prop in perlite and hope it would be successful.
@@EverythingPlants From what I've seen people do with perlite prop, they usually put the perlite in a container then put the cutting on top of the perlite then add a bit of water at the bottom of the container, very similar to semi hydro. But what she does is she puts the perlite in a container, like a glass, then puts that container in a box with about maybe an inch of water in the box. There is no water in the container where the cutting is. She also says that she doesn't need to rewet the perlite since it usually stay moist maybe because of the humidity in the box.
@@kcaltura1625 interesting....thanks! I pre soak the perlite so they are all wet with no standing water at the bottom. With the lid closed I never usually have to mist the perlite...
I watch lots of videos and some people just talk and talk. I think they enjoy talking in camera. You on the other hand talk but you talk as you go along. You talk while demonstrating and i really like this. I enjoy watching your videos until the end but when i see people talk and talk i stop watching.
There is a theory that goes around quite often about having an opaque or completely blacked out vase of water for cuttings to root in, have you found any better or worse success with cuttings doing this? Personally I found that most of my cuttings root just fine in a clear or translucent jar, but I will say that my more succulent like plants like my variegated whale fin and raven ZZ cuttings seem to like the darker environment :)
Man, do you really think that it is enjoyable to listen the stupid drum bits in background?! 19 minutes of the bits?! Let's do experiment: sit down near the comp and listen you👈 these bits 19 minutes! And tell us what was your pleasure! 😈😈😈👹👹👹
