Rooting Hormone For Propagation, Does It Work?

Does rooting hormone actually work? Yeah it does, but it has other effects I didn't expect. It looks like rooting hormone causes propagation cuttings to focus solely on rooting but slow down on new plant growth.

Your dedication to the channel is very evident. Your videos take months to make, not just a few hours.

Pothos actually creates its own rooting hormone that is more effective in water! Sticking pothos into a propagation jar can speed up root growth for all plants in the jar. Rooting hormone is best used in soil, to help adapt the roots to soil.

Honestly bro you know everything I've been watching plant vlogs for years and just found you and your the best by far no messing around straight to the point perfect

Could you repeat this experiment using the rooting hormone in soil? If you place the cuttings between two panes of glass with about an inch or so between them you should be able to see the root development.

just noticed you almost have 100k subs... im so proud of you

I follow you for a while now and have to say you're one of the most exciting "plant youtubers" because of things like this. You go out of your way, out of your comfort zone and try and learn new things - not just show us your plant collection the 100th time or give basic care tips!
I bought a monstera varigata cutting early this year and it doesn't do anything besides some roots! I tried everything; greenhouse, grow lights, soil, moss, perlite, keiki paste, cut it's leaf (now it's a wet stick), cut its roots - nothing BUT it's still alive and is now generating new roots. I feel a bit like you and hopefully I can share my knowledge sometime in the future as well. Great work!

Whenever I see these pothos videos, it gives me hope that I can help bring the pothos I have had in my life since I can remember back to good health.

I used your techniques with Hibiscus cuttings and had 100% success. Thank you.

[Miamimoonwolf]

great video. concise. informative. and no useless filler. i subscribed! looking forward to watching more of your videos!

[kcototheyoyoyo]

Awesome video. This is exactly what happens with my cuttings. I use rooting hormone if I want my cuttings to focus on good root development and not new leaves🤗

[joannelasage]

Great video! I got distracted by the rooting hormone growth as all I could see at 1:40 was Pikachu! lol

[alexwood]

I absolutely love your videos! They are so insightful and fun to watch! Keep up the great work!

Great video. I've played with rooting hormone on viney plants this Winter quite a bit. I would suggest one - changing the water about every three days to get a better result (you can go a week). The other thing is that you don't need that much rooting hormone when submerging in water. A dash of it directly in the water usually produced a better effect than over-saturating them; no need to replace the hormone when you change the water if you just add water. Again, great video.

I’d love to see you try different types of rooting hormone and Keiki paste!

[LL-rbwd]

I love how your videos are straight to the point and packed with relevant information. I don't have a lot of time to spend watching utube, so watching a 6-7 minute video is ideal for me, and with your videos I tend to get all the info I need. Thank you and happy growing! 🙂👍🌱

[JoeBostonBruin]

Well done. I commend you on your approach, and your frequent updates. Time lapse approach is outstanding. Thank you.

Nice to meet another plant lover. Thanks for sharing.🌲🎄

I have rooting hormone and I've never used it, because on the back it says ''dip it in and put it in soil'' and I never put fresh propagations in soil, but now that I've seen your viedeo I may try it in water. Thank you for your video.

[galeanemartinezvicat]

Thank you so much for taking the time to go through these experiences that take weeks! Super informative! :D
