The next step in your process shall be keeping these newly rooted cuttings growing throughout the year. Excellent Video. 👍 😊

Thank you. I appreciate that. I think I have to control my focus and stop moving on to keep growing more plants. I’ll add this great idea to the list and see if I can get a good example or two

How did the water cuttings go? I couldn't find an update on that method

[@backyardnursery7008]

Thanks for the question and follow up. My water propagated poinsettias did not make it, unfortunately :(. I’m testing and learning here.

What ingredients Are in the poinsettia rooting compound? I’m trying is plain water. Maybe in a few months, I’ll clip a few branches and try in soil the way you showed… they grow huge and easy.

[@backyardnursery7008]

The active ingredient is Indole-3-butyric acid.

The latin binomial should inform you as to why your water props failed. Euphorbia pulcherrima. They're a thin, flat-leaved succulent. Most of them die after Christmas from overwatering. They're more closely related to Tanzanian zipper plants than they are to pothos or other houseplants. So use the same kind of gritty soil that you would use for echeveria or cactus, let the cuts callus over for a day, and then plant them in dry gritty soil and wait 3 days to water them. They should have enough root stubs to take in a little bit of water. Don't water them again until they tell you (drooping).
