Propagate Pink Princess Step By Step | How To Propagate A Philodendron Pink Princess

[@christinbreezy2284]

I've been in the plant hobby for years and nobody has taken the time to explain specifics like you. You've definitely just saved several of my PPP cuttings ❤

[@JoleenSmith-xk2xv]

Hello Claire. I just wanted to tell you I watched this video before I tried to propergate my pink princess. I never knew about the wax trick but it worked a treat. Three out of five are now starting to grow roots!!! I am very excited. Thank you for your help. Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺.

Chlorine will dissipate if water is left out for a day or two, however, chloramine will never dissipate and does more damage to plants. Easy solution is to use water conditioner (used in fish aquariums), which does remove both chlorine and chloramine and the other chemicals in water that are harmful to fish 🐟 and plants 🪴

[@Ghaasper]

Not all water conditioners will get rid of chloramine 😢 good to check if it says ‘detoxifies ammonia’ then it will. Even then it’s only for 24 hours and for that time it’s just ammonium instead of ammonia. In fish tanks the bacteria will turn it into nitrite then nitrate. In a glass it won’t. Although if you have a fish tank you could just use the water! 💦

[@tomdoyle6030]

Or better yet you just have it growing straight out of your fish tanks like me lol

[@PantsAreScary]

​@Ghaasper a fish hobbist here- it's better to get quick start live bacteria that will eat the ammonia. Unless your fish has severe ammonia burn the ammonia "detoxification" only masks the ammonia and doesn't actually remove anything. You have to remove the ammonia through water changes. The ammonia detox is good to use to mask it so that it doesn't burn your fish anymore so that you can save him from dying and remove the ammonia fron the tank but it isnt a full on fix for the ammonia. that's just what I've been told I could be wrong, also i am very new to plants so I don't know how this information transfers over (Edit I just realized that what you said is 100% correct, I read you wrong the first time)

[@tomdoyle6030]

@@mepeet4062 I don't how long it takes fully tbh but all fish keepers that I know ( I don't have the space so I use declorinater ) usually leave the water for around 8 days with a air stone going so it isn't stagnant. Personally for me the plants that are not already growing out the top of my tanks I just use the water from water changes to water the plants , free nutrition

[@KeyushTheStuntDog]

Have you filmed an update video on how these cutting are doing? Would love to see their progress.

[@TheJungleHaven]

I actually haven't and I really wish I did. I took some to a plant swap recently, and swapped another for a plant I wanted on facebook. I've still got one of the wetsticks - sadly the teeny chonk didn't make it 💚

[@raysalima4922]

Great video!! The only thing id do different is that in my experience propolis extract works best than wax, less stressful to the plants and its a natural way to seal and prevent fungus and bacteria.

[@tomdoyle6030]

This video is going to be a great help when my small plant starts to produce nodes .. at the moment it is growing out from the top of one of my fish tanks , free nutrients for the plant and great free filtration for my fish and shrimp lol

[@TINARRM]

another great video with no fuss. straight to the point. very informative, will look. forward to an update on these in couple weeks hopefully

[@TheJungleHaven]

Thanks so much - yes I'll make sure to do an update!

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

I have the white princess and it's such a pretty plant. Thanks for sharing your tips with us ❤

[@neon.nick.]

After watching your video, I made 27 cuttings off my Pink Princess, hope a majority of them make it.

[@fistofthenorthstar9010]

how did they do ?

[@neon.nick.]

@@fistofthenorthstar9010 about 90% of them made it. The 10% only died because the cutting was too close to the node, however, to precisely answer what you may be after, the technique explained in the video did work for me and it does increase the chance of survival.

[@Crystal-be9ze]

For the upper angle cut where you can’t really dip it in wax you can use an old medicine dropper, it works well.

[@kaylagordon6776]

Oooooo good tip!!

[@sallyfisher7389]

Great vid thank you! I propped my white princess in a really similar way in August and she did root from the aerial roots as well as the nodes so you Neve know! Would love a propagation update at some point and more chatty vids please xx

[@TheJungleHaven]

I deliberately put my white princess in shot for this video as you're totally right - they can be propagated in a really similar way!

[@KellyC77]

Would it be possible to do a video on propagation, why you do it, when you do it, how long you keep them propagated etc. I'm just a complete newbie and it would be helpful. Thankyou

[@TheJungleHaven]

Hiya - yeah of course, I've taken note of that and will make sure to cover it in a video soon!

[@dr00g35]

Very good video, I learnt a lot. I got obsessed with plants this fall and my Pink Princess is doing incredible. I hope to propagate it if something were to happen to its base like yours, or perhaps when it just grows bigger

[@clarewhite3004]

My pink princess got horribly sunburned when I moved to a place with a lot more light - not just bleached-out pink, I mean brown and wilty. I chopped her way down. I don't actually want more pink princesses, but I decided to see what happens if I try to propagate the pieces, and if any are successful, I'll give them away. I didn't have any wax that wasn't from a heavily fragranced candle and I wasn't sure if that would be a problem, so I let them sit for several days till the cut ends seemed pretty dry and tough. I just put them in the windowsill. Fingers crossed.

[@dclarkmcdonald]

Are you using a specific type of wax? This is the first time I'm seeing anyone do this, but it makes total sense.

[@bethbigley3885]

This is the best instructional video I’ve ever seen!!!!!! I’m following u!!! ❤❤❤

[@reedebrown6006]

Really helpful video. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.

[@Monica-ne6ob]

A node is where the petiole joins the stem and aerial roots grow from the node. An axillary bud is where the new growth comes from, when you were saying nodes i think you ment aerial roots. Usually when you have a 1 leaf cutting you have 1 node, 1 axillary bud and aerial roots. Great video otherwise 😊

[@TheJungleHaven]

Thanks for this Monica - your comment got me doing some digging! I know the node is the point where the petiole meets the stem, but I've always been taught that the surrounding bumps are also nodes and you're right, I think I'm totally wrong about this! I know I say here that for me aerial roots have rarely produced a root system in these plants, but after doing some research, turns out in fact they have! Thank you 💚

[@tarshy95]

Hi there! Love your videos! Does the wax have to be a certain type of wax or can it be any wax?

[@rachealborders]

Mine was 6 feet tall and thriving, but had became chaotic due to lack of proper vertical support. I cut it back to about a foot tall and chopped the top into five big, big cuttings. It had 3 suckers, so i poured those up separately

[@anikinandyunasmommy1909]

Do you have an update video on the cuttings?? I have a 3 ft tall PPP she has a pup at her base and she's super leggy and has recently had yellowing leaves. I am thinking the baby needs to be separated and maybe cutting her back to make more fuller looking but so nervous. I am happy I came across this video and the wax idea!! But still nervous!

[@Mandyliciousify]

Omg my PPP has pups as well and she's look a bit scanty. Did you separate the pups? How did you do it? I'm trying not to freak out sigh 😅

[@shanebrock3621]

Any wax in particular? Obviously unscented, but is there a food grade wax or something that is best? Thanks!

[@janessajohnson898]

I came looking for the answer to the same question 🤔

[@artifect]

Good and informative video! Do you need to water and wet the moss pole?

[@TheJungleHaven]

Hiya! Yes it's a good idea to keep the moss pole moist as it helps and encourages your plant to grip on and climb 💚

[@tradergirl7067]

there are so many video on how to cut off the current plant but I need to know how to remove all the babies I have growing at the of my plant. I have several new baby plants starting to get bushy. my friend wants one. I just got a 50% pink leaf and it's doing so fantastic I don't want to hurt it. I've been giving it Fox Farm fert and it freaking loves it..

[@cyndiclark9657]

Glue gun... I think that would work very well and easier for the awkward ends to seal.

[@jeneencastillo5085]

Can you put it in sphagnum moss instead of water?

[@anndriggers6660]

It's a good idea to leave it sitting overnight so the end can heal over and then clean that end with some alcohol or some hydrogen peroxide before you seal it so that you don't seal in harmful bacteria that will cause it to rot under the wax. I guess I'm hyper careful due to the fact that I've had so many cuttings commit hara kiri...🙄

[@TheJungleHaven]

You're so right about letting it sit overnight, it can be a really good idea - that's something I definitely should have mentioned. Touch wood though (hopefully I don't jinx it now 😂) mine have always been successful with this method!

Does the wax type matter? Can you just use the regular scented wax that's meant for the warmer or is it something different in there?

[@kaleylynn6565]

Why has no one responded to this? It's a great question and one I was looking for an answer to!

[@mamaj6028]

Me too. The wax looks yellowish, so I'm out without this answer.

[@Notmetoob]

I’m going to assume it’s because nobody else would want to put perfumes into a cut plant. Not being mean, not at all, but common sense comes into play with this question hun. Again, I’m not being mean I’m sorry I don’t know how else to say it

[@kaleylynn6565]

@@Notmetoob There are lots of different types of wax out there that aren't scented. Tea lights for example, used with the warmer to melt the scented wax but aren't scented themselves. Would wax from a tea light work or is there a special or certain wax that is used for this process, such as beeswax? That's what I want to know. Also, I believe there are candles that are scented without chemicals, more natural, but don't quote me on that.

[@dariia_shevchenko]

It does not matter, wax is just a physical seal to prevent bacteria from penetrating the cut.

Should I just wait it out so I can keep her from reverting back fully?

[@TheJungleHaven]

Thank you! Is she quite a young plant? Mine often don't develop nodes if the growth points are quite new... If you find anything to go off you can always try air layering tiny nodes to encourage them to grow and root

Am I better cutting them off or waiting till they turn all the way yellow?

[@clover2328]

Hope you don’t mind the question, great video!!

[@TheJungleHaven]

If you can see the leaves are definitely on their way out I'd probably say chop them - that way your plant can focus it's energy on the healthy growth instead of wasting energy trying to save a bit that's dying. Leaves getting stuck and not being able to unfurl is often caused by either lack of humidity or a watering imbalance, so maybe crank up the moisture in your terrarium?

[@clover2328]

@@TheJungleHaven thanks for the tips! I’ll give it a try 🙂

[@ElleISOElohim]

I'm confused. Don't you want the end to absorb water to grow? By waxing it off, is it still able to absorb the water it needs?

[@TheJungleHaven]

No the aerial roots will swell and absorb all the moisture the plant needs - if you don't seal the ends or allow them to callous over before propagating you run the risk of your propagation rotting 💚
