In my experience the best method is basic water. In less than 10 weeks you have way bigger and healthier roots. I’ve tried different methods leca, sphagnum, perlite, soil and water is always winner winner chicken dinner.
You must have good water! I’m doing an Njoy at the moment in water and perlite and the water ones are taking ages. My monsteras did get big roots quick in water though. Must depend on the plant.
The propagation box is a fantastic idea. This method of propagation for pothos and monstera adansonni is much easier than the method I used. Thanks for another very informative and practical video.
@@indianajo812 I still think it's a great method and so easy. The cuttings developed strong roots very quickly. Propagating in water also works. I recommend you try both methods.
Thanks for this. Got my box, perlite and cuttings and ready to get started! A side view of the box for how much perlite would've been helpful. Your new fan across the pond has watched at least a dozen of your videos and subbed. Looking forward to more ;)
I’m definitely gonna do this. I have a golden pothos. I just pruned back the upside down leaves and wish I would’ve seen this video before I did because now I have to let it grow out again but maybe I’ll take one of the vines and try my first round of propagation when it grows out!
i really need to try perlite boxes. they just look so handy to use. having all those jars and bottles around with water, changing it and for some reason...every water bottle is either to large or too small so your plant is too much under water or not enough or it just... i dont know, its hard to manage. perlite gives it some foundation to sit in and you have a greenhouse around it too.
Thank you for this video too! I have tons of long stems and now planted 2 pots full! One quick question, is since I live in very sunny and warm Texas, should I leave them outside for a few days to take in some sun, or should I keep them inside all the time? Thank you.
I just followed your directions and paused to do each step properly for propagation. My question if you put a hole in the middle of the lid? Thank you for the helpful video!
@@SheffieldMadePlants Yesterday marked 10 weeks the cuttings were in perlite and all the leaves have strong roots! I will be putting them in a pot on Friday. Thank you for the video. I learned so much and your video is the reason why.
So maybe you have given me the reason my pothos cuttings have not grown. I propagated in water where I got good roots and then transplanted in soil. The cuttings remained healthy but no new leaves have grown. I did notice the roots just got really long, poking through bottom of the pot.
Is there anything I can do? Or should I just accept that my cuttings will never grow new leaves? And going forward I will try to propagate in perlite as you have shown.
I believe the pothos will start getting new leaves eventually. When I moved mine to soil, it did take some time to show new growth. I guess it's adapting, but it will grow out
@@sarahasadrazathanks for the reply. I finally gave up on those cuttings. It was crazy how long the roots got. Like it kept searching for the water. Now I try propagation in the perlite to see if that is more successful.
I thought you needed at least one node above the leaf also so there’s somewhere above the soil for a new leaf to grow? Will they grow a new stem and leaf without a node ?
I have seven cuttings from devil’s ivy over the past few years and all of them are doing great, however, only one of the seven grew multiple leaves and started branching out. Do you know why this may have happened or how to stimulate more leaves to grow from the single leaves?
I have an unusual question. My Golden Pothos is growing well in a vase. This morning I went to change the water and discovered four tiny tadpole-like-creatures swimming around the roots. No legs, just thin grayish things, full of energy. So I held off the water changing. Any ideas? The stem cuttings weren't in contact with the soil.
@@debragrogan6235thats what your perlite absorbs water for. Then in the damp, not submerged perlite, there's enough moisture and air for the plant to breathe.
Or too much water and not enough oxygen, try adding a few drops (3-4) 3% peroxide to the water in the perlite. Ideally your perlite should be wet, with the waterlevel well below the rooting depth. Otherwise you drown the cuttings.

Do you add organic liquid fertilizer to propagate snake plants
I love ivy. Now I can buy one and have all I want. Yes!!! :-) Thank you so much. God Bless.
Yep! My husband thought I bought more plants. 😊 nope

Fish tank water works great.
@@dhendrix1292I second that 🙌 3 days and roots growing
Can confirm water and poof! Roots in a few days.
I’ve always had success with propagated great success in a glass of water.
I can take all those cuttings and put them in my aquarium and they'll go nuts to make my Betta a happy little dude 👍🥰
Absolutely!! 👍
I get so excited when I see your videos that I have to wet my plants ❤
Haha i see what you did there cheeky

Thanks Janet 👍
How do you feel about the prop box after a year? New feedback?

@@janets3549 thank you!
Love how you potted plants in soil

Thank you. Probably about 5 inches in depth. Enough depth for roots to grow.

Definitely 👍
Oh, im still kinda new here so ive been watching a lot of the videos

It is super handy 👍
I put a piece of a marbled queen in water 5 days ago and i can see 2 little roots already
Nice!
What kind of scissors are those? I would like to get some like it.
Great video thank you! Currently have my first pothos cuttings in a jar, fingers crossed!
It'll be fine 😁
Love watching your videos
I appreciate that!
I need to do that with my plant
Thank you for this video too! I have tons of long stems and now planted 2 pots full! One quick question, is since I live in very sunny and warm Texas, should I leave them outside for a few days to take in some sun, or should I keep them inside all the time? Thank you.
They can go outside if it’s warm enough at night but not in the sun
I just followed your directions and paused to do each step properly for propagation. My question if you put a hole in the middle of the lid? Thank you for the helpful video!
Of the propagation box? No hole
@@SheffieldMadePlants Yesterday marked 10 weeks the cuttings were in perlite and all the leaves have strong roots! I will be putting them in a pot on Friday. Thank you for the video. I learned so much and your video is the reason why.
Urine is a balanced fertilizer.can be used for watering and for fertilization.

Actually the one cutting that did eventually start to grow was the cutting from the very end of the vine.

@@sarahasadrazathanks for the reply. I finally gave up on those cuttings. It was crazy how long the roots got. Like it kept searching for the water.

Do you have a video about potting cuttings on after propagating in water please?
It’s a bit older but this

I thought you needed at least one node above the leaf also so there’s somewhere above the soil for a new leaf to grow? Will they grow a new stem and leaf without a node ?
Yeah new stem always grows
I have seven cuttings from devil’s ivy over the past few years and all of them are doing great, however, only one of the seven grew multiple leaves and started branching out. Do you know why this may have happened or how to stimulate more leaves to grow from the single leaves?
Pruning the stem back will make it branch out
When I propagate mine I put them in regular water in a darker place. Warm but not bright.
I have an unusual question. My Golden Pothos is growing well in a vase. This morning I went to change the water and discovered four tiny tadpole-like-creatures swimming around the roots. No legs, just thin grayish things, full of energy. So I held off the water changing. Any ideas? The stem cuttings weren't in contact with the soil.
Could be mosquito larvae. Where do you live? Are there mozzies in the area?
Do you add a organic hormone or plant food to plants? You are trying to propagate in water and soil
I used to but not anymore. Didn’t notice a difference
Whete do you cut the potho plant . Is it above the nobe or below
Below
Thank you for your response.
Where are you cutting ?
Underneath a leaf node
But Mr Sheffield, you said not to water from above but from below? WHY do you water these cuttings from above?
Thanks
Jay (South Wales)
I do both in my vids to please everyone
@@SheffieldMadePlants Very considerate, thank you.
Cuttings don't have roots to reach down to the water.
@@debragrogan6235thats what your perlite absorbs water for. Then in the damp, not submerged perlite, there's enough moisture and air for the plant to breathe.
I put mine into the soil seems to grow ok
Soil works 👍
I just can’t get mine to root. The stems just rot. I tried water…then this perlite method. Both ways rotted.😢
Maybe not enough light?
Or too much water and not enough oxygen, try adding a few drops (3-4) 3% peroxide to the water in the perlite. Ideally your perlite should be wet, with the waterlevel well below the rooting depth. Otherwise you drown the cuttings.
I tried same way for some reason after months my plant still stays same with just one node no growth.
Give it more light probably. A grow light helps
What size is that container?🤔
Not sure
I think that it would be better if you put it in some water
I do virtually the same with Pothos, but i put them in water and they root in a week or two...
