How I Propagate Houseplant Cuttings -

[@elliotbrady9529]

I vote a new option! Fish tanks. I have three fish tanks and plant clips where I put all my cuttings. The fish tank maintenance isn’t easy but it is the easiest way to prop my plants, they grow roots in no time and they can stay in there forever without me having to remember to refill/rinse their water cups! I’ve got a beautiful tiger’s tooth that’s grown three new leaves since I got her a month and a half ago! I’m still new to plants, and your videos have been so helpful in my plant care, thank you!

[@cdeathlonger7446]

Man, I was literally typing out the same comment. I personally just fully grow my plants in my tanks.

[@angelamorgan7408]

I personally think that my favorite way to propagate is water it’s just so easy

[@LizielPato]

Bro literally have a water propitiation that’s been in there for over a year💀

[@Lynn-rv4ty]

my mom has one that has been there for over a decade, it got so big she decided it wasn’t worth moving lol edit: pretty sure it’s over 2 decades bc i remember her saying that it’s older than me

[@shamelesshussy]

You and plantswithkrystal are my gurus! I learn so much, but your vibe is where it’s at. Awesome women.

[@kileydavies7223]

I almost exclusively use stratum and perlite for propagation! I love using it for hoyas, it promotes root growth like crazy so it makes it very easy to root in a container the size of the pot and the hoya will be rootbound when repotting (I also leave the stratum on the roots and mix it into my chunky mix)

[@sovereign.suneater]

water is superior to me haven't tried any other options 😅

[@leafydiva]

Why fix what isn’t broken! 😁

[@samanthap.879]

I used to always do all water but lately I just toss it in perlite, bark, soil, moss mixture making sure there is lots of air in there with the perlite for the roots to breathe and it works well

[@miav785]

Water for me. I am trying rooting hormone for the first time with a new propagation.

[@shaq2327]

I am a lazy plant mom. So water propagation works better for me. I never worried about forgetting to water them. Once the roots formed, sometimes I don't have the time or will to transfer it to a pot immediately. So it got left in the water until I can make some time for it. I have a jar of monstera cuttings in water that works as decoration as well as constant propagator on top of the center table in my living room.

[@mizzcrizz3762]

I’m just over here geeking out over the fact we have the same lap table

[@carlalee1593]

I decided to give air layering a shot and so far, I’m seeing great root growth before cutting

[@leafydiva]

I’ve always wanted to try air layering but never had the opportunity. 😢

[@torquess454]

I’m a water lover for sure, I’ve got a wall hanging prop station with test tubes I adore having filled at all timed, cool unique glass bottles or jars are fun and decorative too

[@sandys.1571]

I normally propaged in water. But if I have a tricky one, I lately used Fluval Stratum. I wash it, like I did with perlite before, so the black stain is almost no issue 😊

[@fallingskies8991]

I either use straight water or water with leca in the container if I need to support the cutting. I know some people will use perlite for the same reason, but leca is easier for me to see root growth in.

[@epasuxelar4473]

I freaking love direct propagation in the final medium, way less stress that the roots you already spent months waiting to grow out won't just die and put you back at square one. Important to keep humidity high though and definitely takes some practice. Probably not a beginner's best option

[@HinaWolf]

I also use perlite I soaked then put in an airtight container :3

[@reneejackson3328]

Water for the win. 💙💧🌊🌧💦 💙

[@twatburger9000]

I've just transferred my first propagations from perlite only. I really like how the root structure formed, the pothos cuttings aren't drooping over like they usually do when I transfer directly from water. I've also just used rooting hormone and soil for some dracaena heads I decapitated from some suffering stalks. I'm excited to see the results, since I've never rooted something so woody.

[@supergodess66]

I've been enjoying using vermiculite for propagations lately. Don't have to add water as often with soil which is my default.

[@crowed5]

A great substitute for Fluval Stratum is aquarium substrate. It's chunkier so better airflow, it doesn't dry out as fast and it doesn't disintegrate so fast

[@Mandaoof]

I'm transitioning to using perlite, after using water for a long time. I will still use water likely for cuttings that take a long time already like snake plants, but I've had so many issues with water rotting the end even when it calluses, and much less issues when I use perlite. I've also used leca on occasion

[@BrainError]

Water every time unless a specific plant doesn't like it, like my string of turtles, certain hoyas and my begonia rex (they preferred soil)

[@Loves2troutfish]

I use eco complete instead of fluval and it doesn't have all the dark dust that covers everything. My favorite way to propagate is to put them in my aquariums (so nitrate filled water).

[@leafydiva]

Aquarium water is elite. Makes me want to get some fish! 😅

[@advancea8scond]

Water for most, sphagnum for babies that don’t like being too wet. Oh and sphagnum for corms always!! They grew like miracles the first time I tried it and I will never go back

[@irinad.7802]

Mine is using the same substrate they’ll live in. I’ve found that it’s fairly easy with pon.

[@leafydiva]

I would rather root everything in Pon since it’s what most of my plants are potted in. Pon propagation can be hit or miss for me though.😅

[@Lemons19902010]

Currently using water to propogate!

[@DionneRoxanne]

A stratum pumice mix is my preferred method. Roots grow much faster than any other method and transition seamlessly to soil or semi hydro workout any shock.

[@pinstripesuitandheels]

Water for me. I'll dip my cuttings in honey to stimulate root growth and prevent rotting. It's so easy, and I can see everything that's going on with the roots. I did successfully propagate a cactus in soil, and I'm trying now with Aloe Vera. I say propagate, but I mean: desperately trying to save from root rot.😅

[@kitakhat]

Currently using bonsai grit for semi hydro leca on the bottom. Rocks hold everything in place and provide oxygen. I find stuff roots in course sand fast too. The roots aren't fine like regular water roots. They tend to be vigorous and transplant easy.

Procrastinating changing water >>>

[@mwilliamanderson]

I like pon or leca but with the water level high enough to touch the plant stems. As the roots grow I just let the water evaporate and the plant acclimates well. No need to transfer the plant.

[@meganbuchanan3119]

Water for sure

[@perezomamalin9063]

❤🥰🌿🥰🌿❤

[@lakishaharris4399]

Water for me! I have water propagations everywhere! Some have been in water so long I’m afraid to move them. They are growing fine, so I’ll leave them.

[@JLL-so7hb]

I like air layering.

[@louise3953]

I like good ole water and then a perlite box for wet sticks! Cannot be bothered to buy a bunch of other stuff to monitor😂

[@Quirkykitty]

Water for life. Can’t underwater it, can’t over water it. Don’t have to worry about any of that stuff. Just have to give it liquid fertilizer once a month.

[@tinamariebutton3962]

Your amazing I can't do any of that

[@paoladelvalle8794]

I have those and little vases for propagating

[@deucebigalow6877]

Now imagine setting up a fish tank with Fluval stratum 😭

[@Orbt_]

Water

[@LoveeeJonesss]

I’m lazy so I only do water, 100% perlite, or the soil it will live in. Easy peasy

[@davidr.wilson8194]

I believe you can propagate Love too...

[@anthonylawson518]

Leca for me!

[@marcyfox9508]

Fluval, then into Fluval over soil mix, then the plant goes into only soil mix-easy peasy no loss for the divas. Plants not a diva-water into soil

[@anaroca7158]

Can you do a video on fertilizers for alocasia? 😅

[@leafydiva]

I use foliage pro. 😊

[@julieoyundo]

Fluval is my Shhhiiiitttt. Love it!!❤❤❤

[@Firldnehdldmdbd]

Leca?

[@foscouni]

What kind of monstera is the really really tall one?! I NEEEEED one omg 😭😭😭

[@leafydiva]

Monstera Adansonii

[@terrynorman1222]

I’m a water person 😊don’t know why just am🤷🏽‍♀️

[@zoenelson3340]

Am I the only one that finds a method that works and just never attempts anything else? I used water once and have never tried anything else to propagate 😅

[@leafydiva]

I was the same with stratum. I already know what works for me and was reluctant to try it. Even though I’m not sold on it, I’m glad I have it a chance!

[@sousafamilygarden]

💚Thanks nice video #SousaFamilyGarden 🪴🌿

[@qaphqa]

Water and future medium are the only methods I've tried so far. They work, so, my enthusiasm to try other approaches is limited. 💚🪴💚
