@@thewittyusername yeah the grow fast so I dont know why people are jacking up the prices other than being greedy. I'm going to get my stock up and offer them at low prices!
These are easy to propagate from literally just a node, no leaves needed :) put a stem with a node into an airtight container on top of sphagnum moss and it will grow!
Your comment gives me hope since I bought a cutting online and the seller did a terrible job packing it. The description said "3-4 leaves rooted cutting" but he sent a 3-leaved fresh cutting with only aerial roots literally packed into dirt (tip first =/, and leaves inside the packed dirt) and then covered in coconut fibres and plastic. The top two leaves were in the packed soil so they were almost done after three days in shipping and the bottom leaf which was the only one outside of the pack got beat up because the little packet was placed inside a larger box with no padding. The seller did not respond to any of my messages and while I could request a refund and send the cutting back, I really want to have this plant. Oh, and this just happened: I knocked off the best looking leaf while handling the cutting. That node just went into a glass bottle with moss under a grow light in a warm place. I really hope your comment stands true and I'm able to get at least a couple of vines from this poor poor cutting.
@@mmoolloo wow, good luck! That's a pretty extreme situation and those cuttings have been through a lot! But I hope 🤞🏼 you can get them to grow too! Also definitely keep bugging the seller and try get your money back if you can.
@@meta.aesthetica when transferring to soil is there a specific way they ought to be placed or can the roots and bits of stem all be buried leaving only the leaf exposed?
That's a very pretty plant! I really like seeing that the leca balls propagation results were similar to the sphagnum moss method. I don't like water propagation much because of the chance for rot, so I was leaning towards using leca as a less messy propagation method. Great video :)
I will suggest that for pearlite i’ve always almost had much more success by getting chunky pearlite and filter out all the dusty pearlite. with the dust in there that chokes out my cuttings and they never root good. my go to setup is pearlite in an orchid pot, and after i plant my cuttings i top with damp moss to lock in the moisture
Good luck! I hope you can get it! eventually I will open up a plant shop online and i promise the prices will be way lower than everyone else! So if you are patient one day ill have a deal!
Awesome vid. I just bought myself a mican plant online and I'm waiting for it to come in the mail. I really want to propagate it so this gave me some great ideas, thanks! 🙂👍
Techplant my favorite! So many videos will show you technique but never an outcome and it becomes disappointing. This is precise and informative start to finish. I never leave the video and feel like I still have questions! You’re a natural born teacher 👨🏼🏫
Thanks for this video! Re perlite, when I use it for rooting I often half submerge a nursery pot of perlite in a container of water because I find otherwise the perlite doesn't hold enough water for good rooting. This might be an environmental issue in my area, but I definitely haven't found it has as good wicking action as moss.
did you need to flush out the leca and stuff before? what was your prep for the leca experiment? (: i wanna try it because i havent tried leca and seem to suck at rooting philos haha also do you think rooting hormone with the leca would be good too?
i just get it wet honestly, its rare that im rinsing all the powder off. However usually more effort is better so its probably good to pre rinse. As for the rooting hormone, im not sure, i have never done it
i don’t remember who said it or where i read it but people don’t recommend propagation in leca! i have never tried it, but based on your experiment i can’t see why they would say that. other than that, i love using leca it has really benefited the plants that i have transferred!!
weird that I just happen to stumble across this... just got a Micans the other day and its starting to look like it needs a trim. Weird but happy coincidence!
Techplant hypothetically speaking could a cutting live and/or thrive in a completely hydroponic setup (sort of)? I’ve got a small fish tank that produces up to 120ppm of Nitrate in the water column, wondering if I could grow Micans with its roots in the water?
Thank you what a nice video mine still so small.can u please please please make a video abaout dragonscale,mine always turn yellow and there always yellow spot on leave that turn to be a hole
I need to get a dragon scale first, it is one of my dream plants, but ive killed regular alocosia before and dragon scale are like 100+ usd where i live so i dont want to spend that much and kill it!
Very informative video. Thank you! Your effort in showing the outcome is especially helpful for me. Have you tried watering your plants with aquarium water? Might be a good idea for your next comparison video. Thank you!
I tried a few cuttings in water and a lot of the stems rotted except for one that finally grew roots. So I just have one successful water propagation. I now have the other ones that were rotting in perlite and sphagnum.
Honestly I always go yo your channel to watch propagation vids and others cause you give time stamps and how long it takes and tips, other people say lots of things and more than half the video them trying to cut and stick it in sphagnum 🤦🏾♂️
lately ive been wanting to make my new moto "water the plant and not the pot" because i think a lot of people water until the entire pot is saturated when the plant/roots are only taking up like 25% of the pot in the center
@@TechplantChannel true, but it's less forgiving. They can rot from the water used to settle the soil before the roots adapt too. Plus they like to be root bound since they're a bit epiphytic. I'll stick more starts than that in a lil 4inch pot. Also makes it a lot easier to pot up.
Will this work for a variegated micans as well?? I won a one leaf cutting, it was shipped in moss and I have NO IDEA what to do with it😢 Please help - If it grows I’ll send you a cutting once one becomes available🙏🏼🥹
Your best bet is a clear bin with sphagnum moss and lots of light. Light is the most important part especially with vareigation. If you want message me on instagtam techplant.official I can send pics.
I don't even own this plant, I just really like your videos.
Thanks! maybe you get one in the future!
They can be ridiculously expensive. If you see a decently priced one snap it up! They are super easy to grow.
@@thewittyusername yeah the grow fast so I dont know why people are jacking up the prices other than being greedy. I'm going to get my stock up and offer them at low prices!
Techplant this comment hit the nail on the head as far as prices go. The price gouging is getting insane.
Same 😂

@luis hey! Did your cutting root ? 😃
I've had so much success with propagation of this beauty. I've been able to give many babies to friend and family and I still have so much of it!
amazing, arent they so pretty? I really like them a lot now
Which prop method did you use?
@@ArnoldQMudskipper stem cuttings with nodes in moss kept in an air tight container but also had success in straight up water, nothing else.

I really like using perlite to propagate in clear plastic totes.
ive been doing something similar with a mix of sphag. perlite and clay pellets
I'd like to see you do tests on propagating hoya. I know there are so many but an idea!
i have one so i can try!
My top wishlist plant. Looking forward to propagating my “one day” plant
Good luck! I hope you can get it! eventually I will open up a plant shop online and i promise the prices will be way lower than everyone else! So if you are patient one day ill have a deal!
Techplant hurry! 😂🤣👏🏾💜
Love that!! Will be keeping an eye out and support your shop.
I got a two leaf cutting 4 days ago off of a sweet lady on Facebook. Can't wait to grow it nice and big
Just took a bunch of Micans cuttings got tons of plant projects ahead!
Awesome vid. I just bought myself a mican plant online and I'm waiting for it to come in the mail. I really want to propagate it so this gave me some great ideas, thanks! 🙂👍
Good luck!
I always appreciate how thorough your videos are 👏🏽
Thank you! Its the reason i started making vids, I wanted footage of like all phases of propagation!
Techplant my favorite! So many videos will show you technique but never an outcome and it becomes disappointing. This is precise and informative start to finish. I never leave the video and feel like I still have questions! You’re a natural born teacher 👨🏼🏫
I have a Mican that has only two vines and I want to make a fuller pot by taking cuttings. Thanks for the propagation suggestions.
Wonderful! Good luck!
Can you please make something like a tour video of your plant room ? I think it would be amazing !
i will try!
Yes!!! That would be so cool. DO IT
That’s cool how much it grew
Thanks!
wow, they grew fast. niice! was hoping to prop mine to give as a gift
They did pretty well for me in just water. All 8 cuttings rooted and just one refuses to grow new leaves from the node.
nice!
Thanks for this video!

makes sense, you could see that the one looked a bit dry like it wasnt getting enough water in the perlite
love your videos! im hoping to get a micans soon so this is perfect
Good luck!! the root pretty quick so enjoy!
Hi love the video man maybe include a water prop for a clean test I have done a experiment with my Mican’s and clonex root hormone now I wait 😊
Wish list plant that I just purchased. I always enjoy ur video's.
Congrats!! They are such a beautiful plant! I hope yours grows big and fast for you, enjoy!
This plant is on my wishlist!!
I hope you can get one soon!

You should! Thanks I get all the music from the youtube royalty free music library!
Great job
Thanks for watching
This plant is now in my wishlist ♥️
Nice I hope you get it!
Yes, Thank you ♥️
beautiful and informative video as per usual
Thank youuuu, I hope you are doing well during this pandemic, always a pleasure to see in the comments!
Yes! Tell me!! Just what I need!! I have that and I need more!!!😳 (Now I shall actually watch the video. Thank you.)
I didn't pay attention while writing. I need to start again
lol! its pretty easy to propagate, make sure they dont get cold and they get some good light and you are all set! Thanks for watching!
You should do a rooting hormone vs pure water experiment. Going to try it out myself :)
im about 1 month into that experiment, will have a video soon
weird that I just happen to stumble across this... just got a Micans the other day and its starting to look like it needs a trim. Weird but happy coincidence!
awesome, good luck, hope you get many rooted cuttings!

Love it~ could you make a video how to propagate Hoya
I can try, mine are just randomly dying and i dont know what to do lol
can you recommend water propagation for micans?
Ill try it and let you know
Can i plant the new rooted ones back to the mother plant
It looks like some of the cuttings didn’t have as many new growth after potting. So I wonder if in the end, the methods did make a difference?
So nice, I love your channel. I a beautiful plant😍
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you what a nice video mine still so small.can u please please please make a video abaout dragonscale,mine always turn yellow and there always yellow spot on leave that turn to be a hole

Mine almost 10 adault 7 small,i wish u could be here i ll give u for free :-D
Thank you for the inspiration, I don't do cuttings of micans often due to rooting difficulties in straight water. I'm going to switch to sphagnum.
i think youll see new found luck when you make the switch! I hope it goes well!
can i do this kind of propagate to my golden photos?
Hi, how did you get rid of spider mites? Thanks!
i use neem oil and just do a few treatments over the course of a few weeks
Can you please try propogating with no leaves? I have a leggy Micans that I'm scared to cut up lol
try it! don't be scared either, the mother plant will recover! I have done videos about leafless propagation
Is it necessary to have leaves ? Leaves fell down
Do you have a link for the moss??
How often did you have to change the water with leca propagation?
I never change the water i only ever top off unless some serious yucky stuff is forming
I enjoy your videos
Love it!
Thanks!!
But i like watching your video😍😍😍 give me new knowledge
Sure 😊
Very informative video. Thank you! Your effort in showing the outcome is especially helpful for me. Have you tried watering your plants with aquarium water? Might be a good idea for your next comparison video. Thank you!
ive used it a lot, i will make a comparison video about it!
hi did you put water on hydrroton pebbles?
Does colour of the root matter that much? Isn’t white roots healthy?
as long as they arent black and mushy you are ok
Where did you get your T-shirt?(from HyunJee)
My wife is from Korea, she gave it to me!
@@TechplantChannel I am HyunJee's coworker and we think your t-shirt is very cool!
Can I use cocopeat for propogation
ive heard people have, but i have 0 experience, im going to start making videos soon tho about cocopeat
what about compared to just water?
I can try again and add that one to the experiment
And straight water?
hydroton expanded clay pebbles
they work pretty well! ive only ever used them for hydroponics
Why do people not use water method for micans?
I tried a few cuttings in water and a lot of the stems rotted except for one that finally grew roots. So I just have one successful water propagation. I now have the other ones that were rotting in perlite and sphagnum.

But what about water propogating😢
Omg that pot was way too big 😅 any newbie would kill that so easily by overwatering. Btw what was with all that mould in the perlite? 😬
its just algae 😅 probably from the moisture in the cup. it happens with water propagations too
Yeah, he said the plants are under growlights so its just algae from such strong lighting.
