I love propagating in water! I love watching the roots grow. It makes me happy. I've also transferred a lot of my plants, mostly Aglaonema's into water. They are doing well. Thanks for the tips. I enjoyed the music too!
Thank you, great advice as ever. Water propagation leaves me wondering about root systems for most plants needing a well draining compost when established, whereas rooted cuttings in water - and indeed hydroponic growing - are totally saturated! I would love to see a video explaining this seeming contradiction. Your clear and methodical approach would 'ace' this discussion I'm sure, so I hope you can find time to discuss this issue - I would find it fascinating. Thanks! :)
I have tried both methods of propagating plants in water only & plants in soil. I have personally had the most success with the soil method. Using rooting hormone was a total game changer. Its pretty expensive for what it is, but you dont need to use that much & it really works to help stimulate the plant to grow new roots.

It's interesting to say that more leaves take energy from or cutting. I figured up to a certain point they would also provide more energy and provide more than they require and that would help the roots grow faster. Then again, I'm talking just a few at most
Richard,.thanks very good learning plant info. the best channel you have that i found very professional sir.now i know why two of my cuttings took so long to root due to the more leaves on my cutting.great video tips and professionaly simply how to do it.👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Love your videos and accent, thank you for your continued content! I have a question for advice I’ve seen given time and time again. People dust their plant’s leaves or get rid of pests by hosing their plant off in the shower as this is the advice from the experts. However, I’ve read/heard time and time again that plants don’t like their leaves wet and this is an excellent way to create fungal issues, hence why misting should be avoided. Should I wipe the leaves immediately after if I ever need to address this issue by hosing off in the shower? Thanks again for your time and effort you provide!!
Hello Swedish Plantguys, I have a question, so I've been looking for pumice but where I live (by the sea in Romania) i cant seem to find any. My question is do you think my plants would benefit if I use soil mixed with perlite and pebbles from the sea? Or should I mix the soil just with perlite? Thank you for all your content
Thank you for this simple and succinct tutorial. I have been doing this for 20 years, mainly with my pothos that I've propagated dozens of times, and then usually leave the plants as water plants, but they eventually don't do so well and I'd like to know how to successfully plant them in soil after rooting in water. I've done it before and it worked out OK, but I know it can be difficult for the plants to go from water into to soil. Do you have any tips for success and would you be willing to do a video on the subject? Specifically, I have a very overgrown dracaena godseffiana that needs pruning that I'd like to propagate. Despite doing very little to it for 17 years it's quite healthy but ridiculously overgrown. Any special tips on preparing that plant for propagation and replanting in particular? I've also propagated spider plants by placing and attaching with a paperclip the babies directly atop soil while still attached to momma, and that has worked very well. Thanks in advance for any advice and for potentially doing a video on the subject!
Oh, I also have a monstera that's been in water for over 20 years. It's alive but not thriving. I'd like to transition it to soil as well, but again I'm not sure how to go about it without killing the plant. Will it be able to go back to soil from water after so long? Thanks again!😊
I experimented with scindapsus pictus runner vines (skipped nodes without leaves, maybe 1 premature leaf at the very end of the vine) putting them in water and in a bright spot and I kept waiting exchanging the water several times a week and I can confirm that they did not root. So you need a mature leaf on the cutting in order to root out in water. Thanks a lot for the video! Amazing as always!
What about letting the plant cuttings callous over before placing in water? Also, wet stick propagation? When cutting up a vine from a pothos or philodendron, the growth direction of the cuttings can get easily confusing. Does direction of the grow point (roots) make a huge difference?
I have 26big plants and18 babies ,and as soon as these babies are going to a craft sale when the babies get sold this weekend im going plant shopping ( i know im plant crazy)
hi! question: does it matter from what angle you cut the plant? i know cutting flowers diagonally allows them to absorb more water, if the same true for this?
I've tried a few times to propagate using this method and have been unsuccessful. Very frustrating. I put the water glasses on my window sill in my bedroom which receives indirect light and the plants always die. Any tips? Maybe too much of the stem is underwater? I'll try 1 or 2 nodes only. Is the temperature not warm enough - can you do this in winter or cooler months? Never seems to work. I've watched countless videos and it seems everyone can do this except me 😞😞😞
Thanks for the refresher. I have a bug of some kind on my plants that makes lines on the branches and the plants affected are schleffera, draconian, monster, pothos. I have tried to google and not find anything. I was thinking a scale bug but it doesn’t show what they do to plants. Thanks
If it's a scale problem then the lines will rub off very easily with some rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab. It's very possible that it's not an infection but callousing or self healing if the stems have rubbed against anything. Those lines are a lighter yellowish tan color and don't hurt the plants at all. I know I'm not an expert like these guys are but I hope it helps you in some way. Best wishes!
@@amberlynnboswell8253 the lines don’t rub off it’s as if something chomped them. I can’t see how they would rub against anything. I have some of those lil gnats and have been working to rid my plants of those. I’m wondering if it’s them?
After watching your video on Snake plants, I realized what I was doing wrong and how to try to correct my mistakes. Thank you so very much. Lesson learned, I will watch your videos before I repot , purchase new plants and to learn more regarding indoor plants. Sincerely thankful, Violet

I sell plants online and always include your UA-cam videos for my customers. You explain everything to help them with their growing journey. Thank you
Kind of love that the vessels are just a bunch of random vases, pots, a glass and even a coffee cup. Feels very authentic to the home experience
Doing mine in a bunch of old test tubes! I have hundreds spare in my shed.
Never thought a propagation video could be so interesting. We’re all getting anxious for spring, I guess! Love your videos.

Thank you, I really want this and learn much.. Now I got Idea how to make more my plants. God bless!
Pothos cutting is upside down?
Great. I like this video so much. Thank you so much.

Did you manage to propagate a rose in a such way?
do you put anything in the water? like liquid fertilizer? or hydrogen peroxide?

I am visiting Sweden from India, where is your nursery, maybe I can visit.
How often should I change the water

Ive never started cuttings in water ,only in soil
My question is about rooting cuttings in sand.
Please make a special video only for calethia orbifolia.
Bra video

Thanks, I’ll be at Home Depot tomorrow with a pair of clean scissors🙂
Just kidding…kinda 😂
Plont !!
The music is too loud and not necessary
What music? There's no music while he's talking. ??
Turn down your hearing device. The music is just fine😅
@@venehamilton7010 why would you mock someone with hearing difficulties? It's very common so you may hope you don't suffer from it in the future.
@@KeatingChick At 10 minutes, there is some faint music playing at the same time as he's talking. If you have hearing difficulties or even some vestibular condition, it is very distracting.
