Ugh some people can just not resist the urge to be a spaz. Harli, you’re very brave to put your techniques and methods on the internet. Something you shouldn’t have to be brave to do. But just so you know, the majority of us seek out your videos and leave with great inspiration. I’ve always loved plants, but your videos definitely enhanced my love for them and my addiction and appreciation has taken off over the years due to watching them. Keep doing what you’re doing. ❤️🪴

@@SG-ji2xk humidity is key. You can toss string of turtles under a cloche or into any closed container and it will thrive long term (as long as it’s potting medium isn’t drenched). I’ve saved dried up and dying string of turtles by throwing it into a repurposed peanut butter jar and leaving it alone for months. They are the perfect terrarium plant.

I looove propagating too! Especially pothos and monstera types. How do you transfer rooted plants from sphagnum into soil without them going into shock? I have a few rare cuttings that I'm afraid of potting up

[@HarliG]

I keep the moss on the roots & just put it in soil with the sohagnum root ball ☺️ I also make sure to water a bit more frequently for the first few weeks!

[@zeuzlida]

As a botanist, i agree with 99% of your methods. We know the science but we do not know each plants wants an needs. You help with that! Thanks Harli! The one thing i do not like to see but is not a big deal is the algae growing on the roots. In your world its almost impossible not to do that but once you get to a point where you KNOW about when the pheno is going to root then stick it in a light free container. I do not see this hurting many species as long as they aint forced to grow in the sunlight for a long period of time. Again thanks for your videos!

[@melissarushing2538]

Hi Harli! I also love to propagate in sphagnum moss n water especially because it's so satisfying to see new roots forming on my plants. My faves to propagate are probably Monstera's, they have these big tubular roots, Syngonium's n Pothos because they prop so easily and I have recently started propagating my Hoya Crimson Princess, which does take longer, but not much longer since I learned the trick of sticking a Pothos cutting in all my water props. For those that don't know, Pothos has something in them that helps other plants to grow roots alot faster. Anywho, lol thanks, Harli for doing this vid on propagating, you look so pretty today n you have that prego glow going on. LoL I love watching your vids n You rock!🎸

[@SuperUsername147]

I propagate a lot of plants with air layering, especially the new foliage because it’s so easy and I’ve never had a failure with air layering. My favorite to do this with is philodendron Melanochrysum. I find that sometimes taking the “safe” route can actually hurt. I always heard that you should take multi-node cutting to reduce chances of rot. I never understood why i couldn’t propagate micans successfully. Turned out all I had to do was chop the vine into individual nodes. I have almost 100% success when I cut a vine into single leaf nodes, but almost no success when I have a multi-node vine.

[@NoticeMeSenpaiii]

When it dries out. Goes a very light pale colour when dry, also you want the wring out most of the water from your spa gum before propping plants in it. You don’t want it too wet.

[@aell6965]

Micans is my fav plant and I searched high and low for one, finally got my hands on two 4 in pots and I’ve taken small cuttings here and there where there’s a bare node or a damaged leaf that I can remove but it’s so hard for me to chop up a vine into individual leafless nodes cause I can’t bring myself to remove perfectly good beautiful leaves 🥺 but I wanna have a million more micans

[@HarliG]

You totally don't have to remove the leaves (: It's just personal preference really

[@SuperUsername147]

No need to remove the leaf. My biggest success with propagating micans I actually got from one of Harli’s videos and it basically involved cutting up a vine into individual nodes with a leaf and water propagating the node by hanging it on the edge of a glass with the leaf. The node sits in water and the leaf acts as a hook on the side of the glass. Very high success rate.

I've been trying out different propagation mediums, I started with water then tried perlite and then tried moss. So far, I've only had one success with moss when I am propagating nodes. I didn't remove the leaves in mine. They were just leafless nodes so I decided to try out. Is it common for nodes to turn yellow when you are propagating them? Also, could you do a video on how you set up your prop boxes with the plastic cups? I would like to try that method. Your videos are always so informative.
