How I Propagate Houseplant Cuttings - #plants #houseplant #plantlover #propagation

[Bambicatt]

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!

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💀

[kileydavies]

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)

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

[torquess]

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

[fallingskies]

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.

[sandys.]

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 😊

[epasuxelar]

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

[twatburger]

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.

[HinaWolf]

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

[supergodess]

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

[crowed]

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
