CUTTING UP ALL MY PLANTS!! - (maybe not all) rare philodendron propagation!

[@MizotheMizo]

Oh noo he covered his arms 😢 Great Video James, like always 🤗🥰

[@YTJasonNguyen]

How do you determine what goes into perlite ? Could you explain that ? (I have never probated via perlite )

[@ruubs61]

Just subscribed. This summer I became an indoor plant enthusiast and have watched several other experts via KZbin. I appreciate your videos being clean and straightforward. Keep up the good job!

[@JamesArmstrongPlants]

Ah thank you so much! Glad you're enjoying 🌱😍

[@vergedeleon13]

Very informative! I loooove your White Knight! He's so healthy!

Thank you!! 🌱🌱

[@emulatme]

Plants all looks beautiful. Get tips as winter in approaching in London. Im interested in buying a couple of the cuttings too.

[@mielsdavis]

Will you sell any of your cuttings as i would love to have a verrucosum!🌱 Your plants always look so healthy!

[@annelisejc6923]

I love this video! Thank you for sharing all that valuable information. :)

[@MyFellowFoliage]

This is so helpful! I'm at the same stage where my plants are getting a little wild. This is the nudge I needed to make some chops! Just subscribed for more content.

[@JamesArmstrongPlants]

Cut them up!! Glad it gave you the nudge and thanks for watching 🌱🌱

[@mimihook169]

Soo cool, watching the expert ! Thanks for sharing your propagation expertise

[@JamesArmstrongPlants]

Thanks for watching!! 🌱🌱

[@joannakuzma5788]

Hi James,nice haircut😉❤️

[@plan8plants418]

One question. You mentioned that the cuttings with developed areal roots con go in perlite. Do you only use perlite as growing medium or is it a mix of water and perlite ( more like a water propagation but with perlite in it so that roots have something to grab onto?)

[@LifeRomanticized]

This was so satisfying to watch! By the way - has anyone ever told you that you look like Orlando Bloom? 🙈

[@christmassnow3465]

I noticed that pothos may grow aerial roots even between the nodes, and not only at the nodes. Do other aroids do that? If I take cuttings, is it OK to keep the cut portion under the node?

[@3eyedraven444]

I absolutely adore how to the point you are. Odd thought: I feel like you'd be a really good coworker.... 🤔

[@jongamali3398]

I thought his variegated billietiae will be cut as well!Hahaha

[@gardeninghouseplants1112]

Brilliant!💕☺️

[@shockbudd]

Can we get an update on these propagations?

[@katherinelandreth2191]

If you're water propagating my understanding is that you should not wax or let the cutting callous. The open wound at the end of the cutting allows it to draw up water from the glass which gives the cutting more time to grow roots and allows it to keep some of the leaves. If you're rooting in moss, perlite, or another solid medium where the ends aren't drawing any water, it makes sense to wax or let it callous to prevent bacteria or fungal infection from entering the wound while it's in that humid environment.

[@JamesArmstrongPlants]

Yes this is my understanding too. Thanks for commenting! 🌱🌱

[@markstrahl8520]

Thanks James! Great video.

[@satchiebabe6052]

Hi James where do you sell any of your cuttings 😁?

[@JamesArmstrongPlants]

Yes I do sometimes! If there's something you're really interested in drop me a DM on my insta and I'll see if I have any available! 🌱🌱

[@TitusFeliciano]

How do you know if you should propagate in water, sphagnum moss or perlite?

[@JamesArmstrongPlants]

I talk about this in my propagations vid but generally if the plant has no roots I go for water, if it has some clean aerial roots I go for perlite and if the aerial roots have already grown into something and have organic matter attached to them i go for sphagnum. Hope that helps!

[@TitusFeliciano]

James ArmstrongW awesome! And how about soil? You mentioned popping a cutting into soil too. So was just curious. Is it if the aerial roots have reached the soil?

[@JamesArmstrongPlants]

Yes sometimes if the aerial roots are already really well established in the pot then I just move it directly to the same medium! Not super common but there was one node in particular with the white knight where that was the best option imo!

[@sijmenschippers5387]

Do you not let the fresh cuttings callous over first or close them with wax?

[@JamesArmstrongPlants]

Nope not usually - never really have any issues with rot so long as there's enough warmth and light 🙌🌱

[@sijmenschippers5387]

@@JamesArmstrongPlants Love this, as I have been doing the same but always read and see people saying its important to callous or seal the cuttings. Love your videos and IG! Thanks James

[@kaneshirou89]

I tried propagating my verrucosum twice, both with water. But both times it got rotted out after a couple weeks and I didn’t manage to save them. :(

[@monashkay_diary9375]

Up. Planning to cut my verru to trade to other wishlist plant. Now im worried it might not work in water propagation..

[@glenthijssen]

Same here, I tried water, sphagnum and high draining aroid soil. all rotted away. I can't manage to keep the leaf alive, and eventually the stem. The only succes I had was with air layering in sphagnum. Such a difficult plant to propagate.

[@kaneshirou89]

Glen the prop died but my mother plant verry gave me 5 new shoots since I cut it. Its crazy. Will do some air layering once the new leaves developed. 🤞🏽🤞🏽

[@mari.toronto]

Newly subbed! Awesome video❤️

[@AHolicPole]

don't you let the part where you cut it dry before putting it in water?

[@JamesArmstrongPlants]

Generally not - I've had very very few propagations rot so long as I keep them in good conditions so I'm confident with this method! 🙌

[@victoriaberngard588]

now I have an urge to go cut some shit up 🙈

[@StevoVR409]

Ahh that philo smell is so distinct 😂

[@valeriesanchez3074]

That's a beautiful swiss cheese

[@MariaSweets5]

You should pose with the plants in the thumbnail. I think that would get you more views.

[@tinapippen-blackford114]

WOW! Would you be interested in selling your cuttings? So beautiful!
