[@PeggysPlants]

Thank you so much. Your support is greatly appreciated. 🌿🌿🌿☺

[@hazell1593]

Duck mom and plant mom extraordinaire!! Your princesses are growing beautifully. Thanks for sharing. I am not brave enough to cut up my plants yet.

[@PeggysPlants]

Lol, I can relate. Doing a major chop on special plants is stressful. I had been wanting to do this for about a year and couldn't bring myself to do it. Now I'm ready to do more chopping! You can do it!

my pink princess also started stop growing more pink leaf, im so frustrated. thanks for this! i definitely will try!

I can relate to your frustration. Best of luck and sending pink thoughts your way!

[@silverfox5732]

Peggy I'm so happy for you because the time ,the stress and the money we put into these plants it's great when things work out right now I am struggling with my anthurium warocqueanum the leves came looking great but after a few days they looks soft striverling up love given it water ,chuncky soil,humidity and it's still going south l think I will covet the bottom with plastic hopefully it will help.

[@PeggysPlants]

Don't give up on it. I have lost all of the leaves on just about every anthurium I'm ever received in the mail. However, all but one has giving me new leaves that are now doing fine. Anthurium seem to go through a major acclimation phase. Hopefully, that is all you are experiencing. Best of luck!

[@robinson101011]

I like when you show what's going on in your grow tent. Great video!

[@PeggysPlants]

Thank you for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@iddybiddyladybugleeza909]

I cut up mine. I got it from logee’s as a non perfect plant (which it didn’t look that bad) I tried one in soil & the rest in water. Water prop was definitely the best way to propagate but soil worked it just took longer. My top cutting already has new growth. I’m very happy with the results 💕

[@PeggysPlants]

Sounds great! Thanks for sharing your propagation success!

[@DollyMat]

Do you think sphagnum moss can be used as a permanent growing medium or should it go in soil?

[@srw8847]

Congrats Peggy😀💐🎉

[@PeggysPlants]

Thank you so much 😀

[@josmith8635]

You are so brave. I'm glad it worked, they look great!

If you had heard me freaking out when making the cuts, you wouldn't call me brave at all. Fortunately it worked out for the best. Thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching!

[@jaaustin500]

You needed to cover all the aerial roots with the moss for them to put out the roots on the top cutting. Aerial roots is the way philos grow new roots. Great job! 😀👍

[@PeggysPlants]

Thanks for the tips! All of the cuttings are doing well.

[@tpmcclanahan5272]

Great video Ms Peggy, have not seen any videos for a while. I hope all is well with you and your family.. one I will splurge on a pink princess; I have great knowledge I just need to get a plant...

I've been going through some things but am hanging in there. It feels good to be back in touch with my plant friends. Thanks for watching and for the well wishes.🌿💚

[@pennywilson1975]

Hi Peggy, wow beautiful great job so it takes bravery and patience. I would be afraid to cut, I results are amazing tfs.

It freaked me out when I started cutting but after seeing the results other people were having, I had to try it. I'm so glad I did. Thanks for watching!

[@aniliname]

So glad to see this. I just did the same thing and needed a little confidence boost since I’ve been pretty anxious after the chop.

[@PeggysPlants]

I can relate to that feeling. It's amazing how fast and colorful the propagations continue to grow. I hope you will be equally satisfied with your results. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for sharing your video and good tips 💕👍🏼🔔

[@PeggysPlants]

Glad you found the tips helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@medicalpro78]

Peggy, I understand that you use miracle grow. I would suggest you try the miracle grow for azaleas and camellias. It’s in the blue and green box. Higher nitrogen content and more iron. It’s also acidic. You’ll be amazed! I’ve been using this for all of my houseplants for years and it is superior.

[@PeggysPlants]

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to give that a try!

[@FancyPR84]

Wow. Thats amazing!

[@PeggysPlants]

Thanks! I'm very happy with the outcome.

[@jayybones]

Wow, this makes me want to get a PPP now, what a fun project! 😍

[@PeggysPlants]

It has been fun to watch for sure! Go on and get one.

[@crystalrenee420]

Hey Peggy I see great minds think alike I’m working on my PPP video as we speak but your cuttings turned out beautiful 😍 this video really gives me hope.

[@PeggysPlants]

I was nervous about it and almost stopped after the first chop. I'm glad I followed through with it. Keep us posted on your results!

[@tropicalheat1558]

Thank you Peggy this is so informative. Yes I use leica too it's easy to use. I'll try my hand on some philodendrons in the future.

[@PeggysPlants]

I'm pleased you found the information informative. Thanks for watching.

[@lisatran6891]

Hi Peggy, did you poke holes on the bottom of the plastic cup during the 2 month mark of reviving your top cutting? It’s beautiful!! I’m glad you got to revive it successfully with beautiful leaves!!

[@PeggysPlants]

Hi Lisa, no I did not. Once I felt like the roots were hardy enough, I transplanted the cutting to Leca. I don't leave anything in moss long term. Just a personal preference as there are so many ways to root and grow plants. Thanks for watching!

[@DollyMat]

Well done!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Looks like I need to get a mini grow tent if there's such a thing, lol. I just bought a tiny pp off eBay and suffer anxiety every day now as a result. I 🙏🏾 it will make it through the winter.

[@PeggysPlants]

The PP seem to be pretty hardy plants. While my other plants were getting attacked by pests, the PP just sat and watched. It has grown amazingly fast since propagating it. If it's small enough, you can always use a ziplock bag in place of a grow tent. Best of luck to you with yours!

[@DollyMat]

@Renee Terry Thank you. I've since bought a grow light and 2 bigger top cuttings Which has been giving me more pink but will tie them onto poles to get bigger leaves.

[@karenb136]

Very beautiful.

[@PeggysPlants]

Thank you! 😊

[@myjollyboy]

I would love to grow this philodendron. I am going to look for one locally. It may be difficult in winter.

[@PeggysPlants]

I'm finding it to be a very easy plant to grow and propagate. Best of luck with your plant search!

[@maryjanerogers6414]

Hello. How do you move from a dirt root system to leca? I got a baby pink princess with a dirt plug, and i want to try growing in leca, like you. Should i wash tbe dirt away and get down to bare roots, then plant in leca? I love all of your great advice! I'm so excited with this plant, my first PP. : )

[@PeggysPlants]

I just did a video showing how I transitioned some of my plants from soil to leca. Here is a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zpy5iqilodt0qbM

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thank you Ms. Peggy. I’m still afraid to cut mine. I don’t have an extremely green thumb, its just a pale green at best, so I would probably kill all of the cuttings and I’d end up with nothing😞 Maybe some day I will put on my big girl panties and try it💚🙃

[@PeggysPlants]

I understand that. It took me some time to get to the point where I was ready to make that first chop. Thanks for watching.

[@noorsgardenandkitchen]

What is the round things in the pots.

[@PeggysPlants]

They are hydroton pellets, often referred to as LECA

[@jimboong9327]

did you provide any fertiliser ?

[@PeggysPlants]

Not during propagation. I usually wait until my plant is well established as not to burn the roots.

[@scientific1603]

can i use soil for propagation

[@PeggysPlants]

Many people use soil for propagation. This is just what works for me. I highly encourage you to use the process you are most comfortable with.

[@neelywebster3161]

Did you start with water propagating and then move them to the leca? Or planted after immediately cutting?

[@PeggysPlants]

I believe I put the cuttings directly into leca, which is my normal practice, although I sometimes root cuttings in sphagnum moss or perlite. I seldom use water for propagating. It's just a matter of personal preference.

[@Juju-cp4zl]

Hi Peggy Mother Of Ducks !! I am a soon to be mother of sansivieria boncel mini. I was wondering if you could do a video on the plant since you have had it for some years now n I can't find much information about it..

[@PeggysPlants]

I will see what I can do. I'm so far behind since life has been dealing me some curve balls. Enjoy your mini!

[@Babziboo]

I noticed young PPP tend to do well in plastic cups.

[@PeggysPlants]

I often use plastic cups so I can see the root development without disturbing the plant.

[@lahoppstress]

Peggy, have you moved any of the propagations into soil a year later?

[@PeggysPlants]

Without going to look, I believe they are all still in Leca.

[@lingfoliage2693]

Nice and good video! Could you share what did you add to the water of the leca propagation? Any nutrients etc?

[@PeggysPlants]

I didn't add any nutrients to the propagation.

[@shadesofidaho]

Well I do not have a pink princess. BUT I found the same to be true with my Epipremnum Pinnatum. (Spelling?). I chopped one plant up because she was like your PP. Just looking awful. Took half of forever to root and get to growing but oh boy once those cuttings took off it was like STAND BACK!!! I sent those older cuttings to Suzette because I took three more for Suzzette off my second plant of EP and it took too long to root and I wanted to send her at least a leaf or two on the sticks. LOL so I sent her the first cuttings. But the mother plant I took the second cuttings from shot up at least two foot and now I am going to have to nip her off because she has a 6 foot tall trellis and I can not go taller. Her leaves are about 9 inches long. Holes in them but no full fenestrations. Thanks for sharing this Peggy Duck Mom. They are cute!!

[@PeggysPlants]

These plants seem to thrive after cutting them. Your Epip Pinn sounds like it's gone wild. I love it! I'm sure Suzette is happy too. Thanks for sharing your experience and for watching.

[@shadesofidaho]

@@PeggysPlants Yes I am mentally gearing up to chop my Mamei to share with Suzette is all goes well. So scary. And last night I discovered the leader on my Jungle Boogie had snapped. My bad for not tying her up soon enough. She is headed for perlite as soon as I finish the little project I am doing right now Brought the perlite into the house and soaking it while I work. I might nip her into two pieces so Suzette can have a fuller plant of her right off. Piece that snapped is 20 inches long. I have not checked the node situation yet. Lots on the bottom.

[@debbieescobar6267]

Do you add nutrients to the top piece in moss?

[@PeggysPlants]

No, I don't add anything but water.

[@kdfountain]

What are you growing them in? It’s not dirt.

[@PeggysPlants]

I am growing them in hydroton pellets, also known as LECA. Thanks for watching!
