    Hello. Great vid, startling results. Do you believe the perlite alone is responsible for the dramatic difference? Or is it the better aeration? Have you experimented with a potting soil heavily blended with perlite? Maybe 50/50? Or potting soil alone? Sorry for all the questions. I may have a couple of hundred of these to do and I'll do it as I must but potting soil is much less expensive for me in bilk that perlite. Thanks in advance...

    • @thegreenearth
      @thegreenearth  2 роки тому +6

      I don’t use soil anymore in propagating rubber plants. Now, my most effective and easy way of propagating rubber plant is by the use of water only. But of course, perlite still amazing and effective. For me, using of soil has a lot of bacteria or living organism that may cause the cuttings to rot. Unlike water and perlite, they are sterile or clean. Just my opinion.

      For the plants in LECA, I’m just refilling the water like every 10 days or whenever I think it gets empty. Just make sure that the water reservoir doesn’t get empty. And for the perlite I normally check it like every other day and when it gets almost dry then I water it.

    Hi there, thank u very much for the video! i cut my ficus elastica on March 8th (12 days ago) Yesterday on mother plant i noticed new stems 🙏🏻🥲 🥳 The cuttings i put in the perlite, to which i’m adding water.
    Unfortunately only one of 3 cuttings are showing roots (very small and weak, one of them i accidentally broke). But i think 2 of the cuttings are growing new leaves 😳
    Maybe its better i remove two cuttings (with no roots) and put them in water?

    For quick rooting, its best to keep the cuttings under 10 inches. For ficus elastica, even one node along with the leaf will root quickly. Cocopeat and Pearlite are best medium.

    I was once told that I shouldn’t actually change water when propagating in water. Just add some when necessary. And it really helped the roots grow faster.
    Also I wanted to ask - is it possible that perlite might damage the roots? This is what I read

    • @thegreenearth
      @thegreenearth  2 роки тому

      Yeah you are right, not changing the water is good also and might help. But for me this is the way I do in propagation in water because most of the time the water is getting dirt so I am not comfortable of it. And yet the roots is getting fine also. In perlite, it may damage specially when you are trying to remove it and repot to soil. But still it will be fine as long as it has enough roots and it will recover eventually.
