CHOPPING UP POTHOS + PHILODENDRON GIGANTEUM chatty repot and propagation plant chores

[@Ch33Ch22]

There is something so liberating about cutting up plants like that. Watching all the pothos cuttings landing on the table - thinking ahead to the nice full pots you will have once they root & start to grow. That beautiful jar of Gigantium. Yep, loved it... thanks for taking the time to film & share w us.

[@reallybigplant]

🥳 yes liberating is exactly the word!✨ thanks for your support Cheryl!! so glad you liked the video🥰💜😄✨

My dieffenbachia tropic snow mother plant was three stems (taller than the one I see in the background of your video). One stem fell over and broke off, so I am propagating it for a housewarming gift for my neice. Then I was out of town for 9 days and the other two stems got heavy and also broke off. I am propagating them into new plants. The remainder of the mother plant is beginning to put out some large leaves already. This it not the first time that I have done this procedure with this plant. I know dieffenbachias don't get a lot of love on you tube, but my plant has been a joy to propagate!

[@reallybigplant]

whaaa!! mine is also has one with a broken stem but is somehow doing ok! but it’s getting so tall now that I need to chop it I think😰....but you’re giving me courage and that’s great to know that your propagations went well, so thanks so much for sharing that!🥰 thanks so much for watching😊💜✨

[@kramer254]

@@reallybigplant one prop trick - I bought two vintage glass milk jugs (gallon and half gallon) at a thrift store. When propagating my large top cuttings, the weight of the milk jug plus water gives a sturdy base to keep the limb from falling over.

[@sprkinles32]

I just found your channel a few days ago and your plant collection is AHHMAZINGGG!!!! Very well taken care of, even the ones that are not doing so well. Keep up the great work, you're very inspirational

[@reallybigplant]

Thank you so much!! ☺️💜

Ahh I was literally on your channel looking for a video to watch! I clicked on this so quickly ⭐ I've been so obsessed with your videos lately, I love your energy and I've been learning a lot 😊

I completely second this! I truly look forward to your videos! I learn something with every single one!

[@patriciawright6024]

Finding this video was right on time. I'm getting ready to propagate my Marble Queen Pothos. It was very informative. I'm sure (with this video) I won't waste my Marble Queen cuttings. Thank you.

[@LkRn09]

I learn so much watching your videos. I love it! I’m so glad to learn about the soap trick, I did not know that and noticed the water sits on the top of my soil and takes forever to soak in. I’m going to try this trick! Thank you so much!🪴💜

[@reallybigplant]

thanks so much Katie!!🥰 i’m glad the soap tip helps! I forgot to mention in the video that you shouldn’t do it too often though because if a lot of soap builds up it could get problematic for the plant. but if you have drainage, future waterings should eventually wash out the soap. thanks for watching!💜😁

[@lisaadkisson9533]

Really enjoyed your presentation and friendly personality....You are also doing God's work in reviving plants that would otherwise not have a chance to live.....I hope u get the home u wish for to continue your passion for plants someday!

So basically since you asked and I want to geek out about my plants. Im propagating string of hearts and pearls. A crassula of some sort and some haworthias. Some cacti cuttings and then also my wandering dew its doing well now I'm so happy. Oh and jade plant and other succulents. Also just found your channel and I love it lol

I’m not sure y ur imitation of ur husband “aaah” was so cute n funny!made me smile today thank you!

[@snesbit4042]

haha yes omg kinda the same happened to me with one of my photos too! so last year i bought too photos, just because there was a discount if you purchased two instead of one, but after a while one of them started to kinda die :( i think it was the cover pot i put it in, cos it started yellowing leaves after i put it in there. i tried everything and started obsessing over it trying and praying to save it (i'm totally new to the plant thing!), til i thought "you know what? i'm just gonna cut it and propagate it! worst case scenario, it dies anyways" so i did and to this day, all of the propagation are alive and well :) they still live in the water, they seem to like it a lot! thank you for your videos, ive been catching up since friday XD im tot in love, you're super nice and it's all super interesting!! keep going !! ps: i totally adored the "nerdy" explanations part in (sorry) i don't remember which one

I like the fact you reuse stuff that’s thrown out, we need to do out bit for Mother Earth.😘

[@CazSantiago]

Just found your channel. Love it already! I so felt your doubt and sadness after cutting your Giaganteum. Just this week, I cut back a very, very mature peperomia polybotrya with quite a few hardened stems and I immediately regretted chopping up the beautiful mama plant. But, she was just too big for my plant space and I initially bought her knowing I would prop her. The cuttings are all now in water all over my tiny kitchen and I'm crossing my fingers they make it!!

[@joyceleneave2147]

You bring me such joy; thanks for being down to Earth & teaching me SO much!

I'm propagating some Philodendron micans from a longer cutting I received from my boyfriend's sister. I find that sphagnum moss is a good medium to use. I'm a new subscriber and I really enjoy your channel, keep up the great work!!

[@evynfife7603]

Just discovered your channel and I am so glad I did! All of my children are small and medium sized plants. You give me so much inspiration and confidence to more aggressively promote vertical growth with my climbing plants. Also, I caught a glimpse of Sutro Tower outside your window in one of your videos. No wonder I enjoy learning from you! I just moved away from SF (Richmond District) for school and I miss it to death. You got that SF energy for sure. Going to follow you on all the things.

[@kkmeilicke]

I love that jar of huge philo giganteum leaves! I have a small pot of Cebu blue pothos and another of philo micans. They each grew just a couple super long vines so I chopped and propped them in perlite. Soon I'll have fuller pots of each, plus several to share 👍

[@reallybigplant]

that’s awesome!!🤩 are you finding the perlite method to be extra effective? i haven’t tried doing that but i’m curious! thanks for watching Kris 🥰💜✨

[@kkmeilicke]

@@reallybigplant As long as I rinse the perlite well first, I've had great luck using it for propagating. The finer dust and small particles can prevent it from being airy enough. Keeping the cuttings in a clear, closed container (aka high humidity) has also helped.

[@Lorenmcdee]

Dude you have me all excited for spring! I'm going to get a philodendron maximum this spring. I know yours is a giganteum but it's not all that much smaller philodendron wise and I'm REALLY jazzed about my future buddy seeing you work with yours. I'm just waiting until it warms a little to avoid transit damage. I've got a shitload of space, a huge ass pot for it to eventually reside in (17" wide white ceramic cylinder that's like 2' or so tall), great lighting in a great showcase spot, and I'm really excited. I've got two different sellers privately confirmed to have stock when it warms and I'm completely prepared. I plan on doing a cutting of it at the end of the year so I can grow some outside against my house before it's big and really shows where it has been cut. Are you planning on posting propagation progress videos later on? Are you keeping them or selling them? Do you trade them? Give them to friends? Just curious.

[@reallybigplant]

ohh my goodness all of the things you said sound like a dream!!! i’m so excited for you to get your maximum, i’m jealous🤩🤩🤩 as for the propagations, I do want to sell some plants this spring/summer😊 Id also like to start doing more plant trades. I usually end up ultimately repotting the propagations and parent plants back together😂 I’ll definitely update on the propagation progress for these. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your giant philodendron plans😄💜💜✨

[@Lorenmcdee]

@@reallybigplant well hey mention it when you plan to in a video. Idk when my maximum would be ready for a chop and prop but iirc you mentioned you're in San Francisco and I'm just outside of Sacramento. That's pretty easy transit for plants even in the post. If you want a maximum cutting I'd trade for a Giganteum cutting. I'm not a huge collector, but I am putting together a patch in my front yard for my son to play in. This is all hypothetical but it's fun to think about. The philodendron maximum is the largest variety of philodendron afaik

If you don't have rooting powder, cinnamon works just as well! Studies have shown that cinnamon is both antifungal and antibacterial. (it can even fight off mold/fungus gnats if sprinkled on the soil) :)

[@Uathankicks]

There has got to be a coop area or something in SF. I remember lots of land in urban Bern Switzerland, and you could rent a small part (cooperative). They’re usually competitive AF so look out and best of luck

I'm propegating some snake plant, transcandia zebrina, monsterra and golden pothos. I water propagate as I haven't had much luck with soil rooting. They all die out despite regular watering. Love the information you always share. Could you please make the text bigger? I've got low vision and always trying to read but it's so all small and always flashes across the screen quickly. Can't wait until the next video. Thanks.

Thank you Musuro!💜✨ I think I usually have a higher success rate for water propagations too, I just got lazy this time with the pothos haha 😅 Thank you so much for the feedback, I will absolutely make the text larger from now on!!

Hi, I just saw this video. I am curious how your Giganteum propagations are doing after a year. Ours is not as lanky and has a lot of branches at the stem. I want to propagate them as well. I would love to see how your turned out. How long did you wait to pot them?

You can put a little bit of cinnamon, so it can heal better. It will also help with other little insects that are around🌿🪴🌱

I use cinnamon instead of the rooting powder to seal and has antiseptic properties

I just received a huge Phil gigatheum that was so out of control I needed to shop it. should I cut off the huge leaves prior to putting it into water propagation? or leave the leaves on? How long before I should see some roots?

Hi… have you propagated in perlite alone? And can you grow a plant in only perlite alone? I currently have monstera, philo and alocasia in perlite? Tfs

[@StitchesbySharonH]

I read that cinnamon is a natural anti fungal agent, so I’ve been using that (when I remember, lol) since I don’t have any rooting powder. Right now, I’m propagating Pothos N’Joy in Sphagnum Moss, and I’m also propagating cuttings of my Monstera Adansonii, and my Red Maranta Prayer plant in water. I’m wondering if you can give me some advice. I just received five Snake Plants/Sansevieria/Dracaena from Succulent Asia today. They’re cold and the roots look dried out, so I thought I’d give them a couple days to acclimate to my house before I pot them up. I did put them in water, in the hopes that the roots will be okay. Do you think that was a good idea to do, or should I cut off all of the roots? I appreciate any advice you have! Thank you for sharing! 💜💚🪴🌵

[@reallybigplant]

I think i’d do the same as you- leave the snake roots and see if they start to get rotten or weird in the water but sometimes I do think the dead looking little snake plant roots can make a comeback too. That’s exciting about the new snake plants!!🥳 Sounds like you’ve got a lot of fun plants propagating! 😊 thanks for watching and telling me about your plants, love to hear it🥰💜💜💜✨
