Plant Propagation Box + Results!

[@mrssabre2946]

Planty person! 👋🏾 I have way too many fails lol. I love using spag is my favorite prop method. My current favorite plant is Hoya Eskimo.

[@Ceccan97]

My favourite content yay! 🌱💚 I mostly use water to propagate but I have used both soil and sphagnum moss a little bit. The time I tried sphagnum though it rotted so I think I let that one sit too long in too much water/moist. I've also used rooting cubes called "root riot", both with and without success depending on the plant ofc, but I like them overall for very small cuttings that need saving real bad. Definitely want to try perlite now though, I've thought about trying it for quite sometime. 😊 Thanks for the informative video!

[@shinyhappypeople9043]

Costa better start looking over his shoulder👍 this is good. Gardening has been my happy place throughout the pandemic. I love plant swapping, I think that’s the wonderful thing about gardening, it can fit your budget & lifestyle, now I want to try propagating.

[@EchoRe]

My crown jewel so to speak is probably my "swiss cheese" monstera. I raised it from just a little bub to a very big bub. It has 2 moss poles stacked now and it's putting 2 leaves out at once. I'm so proud of my baby

[@HaileyO]

Oh nice! I do love a big adansonii, they look fantastic when they climb :)

[@katmiller1934]

I just got my first plant as a fully formed adult in July, thanks in large part to your lock down plant vlogging! It was a tiny baby peperomia red ripple (like, 6 leaves total) , that's now at least 6 inches wide. I somehow successfully propagated it; there's two more tiny baby plants waiting to go live with my bestie. My dining room is rapidly filling with plants (large east and south facing windows), along with my kitchen window and a little into the living room for things that like lower light. I'm a walking adhd stereotype, so aside from the queen of my heart, the First Plant, my crown jewel is usually the most recent addition, and this week it's a neon pothos 😁. I've been doing water and cobbled together greenhouse-ish propagation I just sort of made up, but I'm gearing up to try a scaled down version of yours.

[@TikkaHorse]

I got myself a prop box after watching one of your earlier videos, and plan on putting it together and starting some cuttings this weekend. Before, I would just stick them in small pots and hope for the best, but that was only about a 15-25% survival rate. Just did a MASIVE clean up of my sun-porch so I can take better care of my collection, and now I'm in a very green mood. Got a greenhouse for the back yard as well, but that's going to take a bit more effort to put together. I plan on having a winter veggie garden in there, yum!

[@TheCaroline0991]

This was so peaceful to watch :D I loved the purple one, she was so sad and turned out to be really beautiful :D

[@hillaryfield1883]

Your propagation station is so much fancy than mine! I just stick the stem with the node in a jar of water on my dining room table and when the roots get a couple inches long I pop them into moist soil and call them a real plant 😂 my favorite has always been my monstera deliciosa but I recently started a whole new plant with a bunch of cuttings from my mom’s 25 year old golden pothos and it makes me very happy

[@kellyoconnor1035]

Hello Hailey! Thank you for teaching me about planting! Been wanting to learn for ages! ❤ Love all your content!!

[@tashalawson2028]

Plant propogation is my jaaaam!!! I just started using perlite for my begonia leaf cuttings and wow, game changer! I'll never go back to soil-only. Too many cuttings have rotted that way. Water propogation is fun too. Haven't done a "prop box" yet, but will soon. It seems a convenient, all-in-one as opposed to keeping random cuttings in ziploc bags spread throughout the house.

[@amandanicole7976]

I have my begonia polka dot cutting in damp moss! How would you suggest I use the perlite for the begonias cutting?!

[@liz54321]

I'm so excited to see the plant babies!

[@NaharaVensar]

I've only done this for succulents. Totally different thing. Biggest plant failure was recently. I didn't realize how much snow water run off was hitting my cold hardy succs until far too late. I didn't know the balcony above me gutters were fucked.

[@cucar8363]

Successfully propagation! Happy for you. 🎉

[@penlennon3576]

I have just put cuttings in water (and TBH some of them I have left for years with clean water now and then), but I am keen to make a prop box for some hoya cuttings. I think I am going to put a layer of perlite and put cuttings straight in. Wish me luck!

[@agnieszkapilot-bambynek8025]

It was more satisfying to watch than doing it by myself 😂 I'm not very experienced plant grower so there's been a lot of fails. You are a really great plant mama 👏💚

[@shinyhappypeople9043]

The wonderful thing about gardening and pot plants is that it doesn’t have to perfect. Kill your plants thru inexperience, the RSPCA won’t be coming for you. Got no money? Swap cuttings with your neighbours.

[@BeautybyAnneChris]

This was so much fun to watch! I don’t propagate any plants atm, but I really want too. I just don’t really have the space, I have to create some

[@abyk.r.7855]

I have a chain of hearts plant and a bulb from it. The root bulb is about an inch by an inch and a half.... been that way for a year now. No growth but it still is alive so I'll keep watering it and watching to see if it eventually does something.

[@persephonescurse]

This was so informative! I’ve propagated a few plants, but haven’t used a prop box before. I’m definitely going to give it a go. This winter was particularly harsh on my plants so a few are in need of rescue.

[@danielles3841]

I'm propogating some succulents right now!

[@ivyk5796]

I mostly do water props. But not that often .

[@Yolanda8419]

I’ve never done this but then again even though I like gardening I don’t have much skill on it. I only have Schefflera plants, five of them, a Gold crest and three Thuja plants. I grew tomatoes over the summer but I wasn’t very successful in my production numbers. Very interesting video, though and love your nails.

[@sharna5191]

Loved this video, i am currently reviving a cutting of my first ever plant, a rhapidophora tetrasperma that rotted on me 😭 also trying to save my aglonema aurora. Currently using water but after watching this thinking of switching to perlite. My current best grower is a philodendron micans

[@springdeerling7866]

I started getting into plants maybe half a year ago because I starting looking into making a bioactive tank for my crested geckos. I have a similar set up for cultivating moss rn. I love watching serpadesign for terrarium build

[@jenniferjsaracino]

I got a Florida beauty… I’m sharing this with you as you know how excited I am!!

[@HaileyO]

Oh my! Congrats! They are quite difficult to find here but still on the wish list xx

[@iamannedroid]

Do I have plants? No. Am I learning how to take care of plants? Also no. Have I ever had a plant I didn't kill? Not that I'm aware. Am I watching this carefully to the end? Oh yeah definitely

[@HaileyO]

Hahahahah glad you enjoyed it Anne! xx

[@mutantfroggy]

I'm learning so much from this 😮

[@sandyfordyce2372]

Hi 👋 I found this very interesting going to try myself 😊

[@monkeyaerial3]

I love these videos! Will you show us how to cut

[@leannschaffnit7376]

I don't have many plants (just three) but I have water propped my pothos, I really need to move them to the mother plant tho, they've been sitting for AWHILE, my orchid is basically dead, and I really need to harvest my basil. I'm a lazy plant mom

[@heykerryann]

I’m quite attached to my orchids. Ugh I treat them so wrong, but I think they like that kinda thing 😉

[@jenniferjsaracino]

Hahaha! They can be slow and steady compared to other exotics

[@dimsumgirl2860]

I loved this video! I am way lazier than you are, I just fill the entire bottom of my bin with perlite and stick my cuttings in. My hoyas are going great in the perlite, although I find philos prefer sphagnum. I haven't done a heat mat yet, but your results have convinced me to pull mine out! Amazing growth! Fave plant that I own: gloriosum tied with my gigas Latest acquisition: Plowmanii Biggest plant fail: Every adansonii I ever met (They just refuse to do well no many the substrate, watering, etc. Killed like 6 plants) On the current struggle bus: Philo Giaganteum, lots 8 gorgeous leaves and now down to one sickly leaf and lots of bare nubs. Refuse to grow one iota: Scindapsus Exotica and Hoya Kerrii.

[@HaileyO]

My variegated adansonii died after a long painful attempt at keeping it alive 🤦‍♀️ I feel you on scindapsus exotica, I have one that doesn't grow and another one that just grows runners lol

[@danielabackstrom]

I'm not that interested in plants but this is fab 😍

[@amanthacamille]

That manicure though 😻

[@benknoll8159]

Do you have any artificial light recommendations? I want to keep growing during winter here in STL.

[@prophetess.cassandra]

Weird question: can I use cat litter crystals instead of perlite? My mom bought me a bag of non-clumping crystals and I have no idea what to do with it, I only use clumping cat litter.

[@HaileyO]

lol no, they are usually made from silica and will degrade over time

[@prophetess.cassandra]

@@HaileyO Thanks Hailey! I love your content! 💕

[@Milovatsi]

Plenty of ways skin the cat...I'm gonna use this sometimes, somewhere. U always learn new stuff 😃

[@DiePollie]

thank you, for that verry interesting video :)

[@abigailjudd2436]

Have you tried using coco coir and/or fern fibre for rooting? I feel like they’re easier to work with than perlite. No dust! Also, I’ve been getting into Alocasias, but they are so expensive here in NZ! Is that a Snow Queen or n’Joy ?

[@HaileyO]

Sold to me as a snow queen, as far as I know SQ & N'Joy are the same plant but depends on your location as to what it's labeled, I think N'Joy was a US name whereas Snow Queen was used more prominently in Australia?

[@abigailjudd2436]

@@HaileyO oh that’s interesting!! Here, over the ditch, we would’ve called it n’Joy 😊 Snow Queen to us is just a super white version of a Marble Queen 😂

[@dinahlizett]

I would like to have plants but I don't know which ones are safe for my cat in case the dummy decided to eat it x_x

[@ivyk5796]

Honestly I hate it when plugs are still there honestly convinced that some plants die because of it

[@HaileyO]

It can be problematic for some plants, you'll find people that swear up and down that plugs are just fine and never an issue but it's not true, like everything it's a situational thing, whether I remove them or not is based on how the plant is going, listen to your gut :)

[@ivyk5796]

@@HaileyO I have had plants do so much better after I removed the plug. Some also seem to be more stable in the pot because they can finally maintain balance after having their roots were they need to go
