Propagating POTHOS With FERTILIZER Experiment ( AMAZING RESULTS )

[@theothertiffany8728]

With having fish as well, I have seen pothos grow like crazy with its roots only in the fish tank. Fish water is basically a dilute fertilizer, so maybe it makes sense. Either way, I love these side by side experiments!

[@tomg5516]

I think it would be beneficial to delay adding nutrients by a week. Start in clean water, then add nutrients after 7-10 days. That would decrease the competition with algae.

[@TechplantChannel]

that sounds like a good strategy! because until the roots form its of no use to the plant

[@LifeRomanticized]

Or use an opaque container. Algae needs light to survive 🤓

[@mwoods4608]

[@deanjager4341]

I tried that and my plant started dieing ​@TechplantChannel

[@ibrokeowen]

I would definitely let the roots occur naturally in plain water, than by the 5-7th day add the fertilizer giving the roots a chance of growing naturally the fertilizer will add a boost, + delaying the process more will hopefully stunt the growth of the algae.

[@TechplantChannel]

yeah i think thats probably best of both worlds

[@quentinmoten8871]

A good way to prevent algae growth in the water is to cover the jar with aluminum foil after you start to see new root growth before your water starts to turn algae green.

[@TechplantChannel]

Dang this is an awesome Idea

[@vanniyo8988]

Not sure if that's possible, fertilizers are compounds so they don't change up the pH too much or become reactive to the environment. You put pure potassium on water and it'll light on fire.

[@bobrobertsNotUrBob]

@@vanniyo8988 i dillute potassium all the time for plants, never had it catch on fire lol

[@lchaddy9013]

@@bobrobertsNotUrBob you’re probably using potassium nitrate, which is a common fertilizer. They are talking about potassium metal, which is pure potassium. Potassium (K) will displace one of the H’s in water. Water is made of 2 H’s and an O. Water is set up like H-OH. Adding K, like KH-OH will kick out the first H. So it’s now H2 (an H from H-oh and an H from K) and KOH separately. This reaction forms hydrogen gas (the H2) and it creates a lot of energy, and it causes an explosion.

[@TechplantChannel]

I actually have another vid coming out soon where i put an air stone in one of the jars!

[@meganmattioli9837]

Do the roots need light? Could you use an opaque container to cut down the algae growth?

[@hlkort]

planterina also theorised that other plants root faster if they are rooted in the same container as pothos cuttings.

[@TechplantChannel]

I gotta try it

[@hlkort]

@@TechplantChannel I like your scientific approach to this! 😄 Excited to see the results!

[@naestse4786]

That makes sense. All plants release hormones, most of which can interact with other species. Since pothos are notoriously fast rooters, they would be able to release that hormone into the water faster than other plant cuttings. Random thing: I remember a study done on some plant that releases a stress hormone to other plants nearby when it got munched on by beetles. They played the noise of the crunching to the plants are they still released to hormone! Plants are awesome.

[@richardpeterson3753]

Personally,the clones I have went directly into dirt,and it was premium potting mix with fertilizer added.and I have had complete success so far,with all clones surviving and producing roots.and thinking on it,only thing that I can say is the main reason this worked is those roots had like this video, nutrients to help produce roots,moisture and also the air I mentioned from the airated soil.i really think the right combination of those three things is key to cloneing plants,even if it's useing water as a medium.

[@TechplantChannel]

Yup those three combos are very important and as long as you can satisfy them with your growing medium you should be good to go! Nice work

[@wyndiefeatherstone948]

I do this every year with cuttings from my pothos plants and wanted to ask if it makes a difference in how many plant cuttings you place in a bottle? I have several in each jar and wonder if it would be best to limit them to 3-4 per container. Secondly, what about using a heat mat, beneath the jars, are they beneficial?

[@eljay_h]

I find adding food to the water is great to start them, but after a while it just goes gross and the abundance of nutrients becomes too much. Tried with adansoni too and even small amounts turned the leaves yellow. But definitely great for starting pothos! 👌

[@altdeadpool8509]

Wow that was definitely extreme! I'm gonna have to get a hold of some of that. I wonder how it would be with added nutrients as it did seem to effect the original leaves a lot negatively, although it could be because it purposefully shut off the flow of nutrients to the original leaves to concentrate the growth to the roots and new growth. Definitely worth adding to my existing potted plants too.

[@TechplantChannel]

[@easye2115]

Hello! I have a curiosity question…When propagating pothos what is the reason for cutting the vine 1-1/2 to 2" on each side of the node? It looks like all the new roots grow straight from the node, so what would happen if you were to cut let’s say 1/2” on each side of the node?

[@TechplantChannel]

I have a new video that covers this and an old one that covers it exactly. The new growth will recycle that material and result in more new growth. The bigger the piece the better!

[@jjdawg9918]

Great Experiment! Would love to see somehting challenging like sphagnum moss(but it would take months). I find it even more challenging than carnivorous plants because it grows slowly enough that its easy to overfertilize, but without some fertilizer it eventually turns pale, spindly and wanes away.

[@TechplantChannel]

oh i did that but never made a video. I can make a video for you, I have a ton of it, red and green stuff

[@richardpeterson3753]

If your going to go to the trouble to get a nute solution to root them in,you may as well toss in an air stone to pump more o2 into the water to turbo charge those roots.i mean the whole idea is to give those plants every possible chance to propagate that we can give them.we know those roots need oxygen and an air pump and air stone is a cheap easy way to get that done,and if they got nutrients to use to grow better,then give em the air to keep up with the additional growth

I was specifically looking for info on using a fertilizer to propagate because I've decided to try something new. Usually I will put cuttings just in water until I begin seeing roots (maybe about a cm) and then transfer it to well watered soil, trying to avoid the problems with acclimating water propagations. They still end up very droopy and shocked for a while...my new idea is to start the same. I'll use just water until I see roots (because I've noticed the START of roots goes much more quickly in water props) and then transfer to a prop box I am setting up with perlite. I wasn't sure if I should add fertilizer and after your video I think I'm at least going to try it! We will see....

[@prettyingreen]

Super interesting! Does the fert have any Plant Growth Regulators in it? Was this tap water or bottled/distilled? I've always heard nitrogen inhibits rooting. And it looks like no water changes throughout?

[@TechplantChannel]

i cant rememeber if it was tap or not, and i usually just top off instead of change the water

[@hivezphone]

What are EC/TDS and pH values in experimental and control jars? Target EC value is relatively good way to measure how much fertilizer to add.

Algae growth is an indicator if there's too much nutrients in the water. Probably a minuscule amount of nutrient would do the job. I wonder if just adding one macro nutrient would do the job. Like just calcium nitrate. Or potassium sulphate. Probably phosphoric acid would be ideal because phosphorus is the key ingredient for root growth

[@a.girl.has.many.plants3743]

This was a really good video, however, pothos already possess a self-rooting hormone which is a reason why many people add a cutting of a pothos to propagations (speeds up the process). Could you try your method with other plants? 🤗

an NPK of 16-16-16 seems kinda strong (in my biased opinion)

[@TechplantChannel]

its pretty diluted by the time it gets added to the propagation

You be interested in a private consultation? I'm building a small terrarium that I'm going to scale up to a room terrarium. My wife has been bed ridden for 4 years and only sees the outside 5 or so times a year. I want to bring the outside inside. I'm going to be using Arduino and sensors to collect data and then I'm going to use that data for another experiment and to help with designing the automation system as I want to simulate rain and control the lighting to match the actual sun, moon and it's timeline. Make sense? I just need some questions answered and I'm having a hard time getting ppl to respond. You may get some ideas from my plans too.

i could help a little with the Arduino stuff. but Ive never built a terrarium before. So i really dont know much about care for them. I would recomend going on facebook and joining terrarium and vivarium groups, there are people that are A LOT more knowledgeable than me on those topics. IF you wanna reach out tho you can hit me up [e-mail]

@@TechplantChannel awesome. So here is my email. I'm going to be disclosing some elements that must remain under wraps as I'm hoping to market this as a package deal for everyone in the next year or so. [e-mail] just reach out to me when you are free and I'll send you the info and questions. I have a lot of info on the terrarium build but plants......not really my thing. I think you will be really excited once you see the schematics of the actual build. Thank you again and great channel. My wife is going to love this and I truly believe others will to.

Hope you enjoy it!

I wonder if the Maxsea fertilizer can be used with calatheas or marantas?

[@TechplantChannel]

I've never tried but seems like it could

[@seetv61]

If MAXI is not available in our country, what will be it's substitute for such root growth?

[@TechplantChannel]

i think any really diluted fertilizer would work, but when you do it do some in regular water just in case it doesnt work out for oyu
