How to Move Cuttings From Water to Soil | Move Houseplants From Water to Soil!

- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- I thought I would share the process of transferring water plants into soil! It can be stressful on plants to be moved from water, but sometimes it is necessary. Propagating houseplants is one of the best parts of houseplant ownership & it can be so fun to watch the indoor plant root systems form in water! I find my plants do very well in water, but with some care they can do well when transplanted into soil as well.

After I got my fish tank, I started using the aquarium water from water changes to water my plants, and I also use that water to water propagate. It has made a HUGE difference! Roots grow quick, big, and strong!
I do the same with most of my plants and it works so well!! It’s all in the fish poop lol. Just a reminder though to make sure the roots of certain plants are okay for your fish species cuz some roots are toxic but this is generally rare but always research!
@@aliceramos1840 I only have Pothos in the actual tank. The rest of the plants are just in a little jar with the fish water!
I heard fish fertilizer is a good organic fertilizer for plants.
What type of fish do you have?
It’s probably all the nitrates that act as a really good natural fertilizer. Great advice!
I went thru half dozen videos on water to soil before I came upon you, you are a breath of fresh air in a sea of babble . Thanks.
Same here finally!
The Plant Parent anxiety! 😵 Gosh the most stressful moment of propagation. Great informative video Harli! This will help lots of plant parents. I love how you stressed how much individual conditions play such a big factor. That is SO overlooked in our community! I have challenging light conditions. Mostly northeastern exposure so what works for me is a mix of organic seed starter, coco coir, perlite and worm poop. Light, airy, holds just enough moisture but drains well. That's what works for me.
Use a coffee filter to block soil from coming out of the bottom of my pots. It's always worked for me. Thanks for your video.
Sarah Thomas i do this too!
Brilliant
Simone Vasquez watch her video on hydrogen peroxide, it might help with the mold!
@Simone Vasquez The coffee filters I tried seem to hold way too much moisture for my plants..
I’ve had better luck at preventing mold and use metal screen material. You can buy rolls at local hardware stores and cut sections out to place at the bottom of pots. 🤙
Also just wanted to say, whenever you say stuff like “that’s the way it works in my mind” you’re usually right lol. You definitely understand a good bit about how plants work like fundamentally so don’t doubt yourself so much. You’ve got a lot of experience and more knowledge than you think. Even when you’re not sure of something or don’t know the reasons why something is the way it is like the science behind it, that doesn’t mean what you’re doing is wrong.
"At the end of the day, nobody's an expert on everything" - Love that! And I learned a lot from your video! Thank you for making it!
So I make my own compost dirt: dumping dry leaves on my grass 1 day before the Gardners, results are a mixture of Carbon (dead leaves) and Nitrogen (green cuttings). Mowing helps to mix them. I offer Starbucks a Home Depot bucket and ask for coffee grounds. I dump the three onto a black tarp (spring/Summer)- Coffee grounds add heat because it is black. Add water (shower mode or misting (get evenly wet). Make the pile no more than 2-3 feet tall and wide, but 5-6 ft long on a tarp that is 4-5 times the width of your pile. You want to allow air-flow.Roll
the role it every week (or sooner). Flip the none used 1/2 of the black tarp, over the pile, and place a brick/Rock to hold it down. The temperature will reach 180-220 F degrees and really cook the compost. Bacteria (a slight blue-green color is what you to want) grows that eats and converts the pile to a softer dirt compost. The role it over completely, then more water. after about 6 weeks you can notice that the grass is gone and the only little tiny chunks of leaves are left. I usually dump it into a pit I have and just use it as I need it.
Kitchen scraps get put into a 1-gallon bag, then rebagged again to keep the smell from escaping. I usually leave everything in there for 2 weeks then I have a separate blender that I mix this with water and feed to my worms that I am using to compost the food into Black Gold soil. I use my dirt compost as the bedding for the worms and feed the worms on 1 end of the plastic tub (lowes/home depot) so the worms travel and eat the dirt compost while getting to the food compost. Blending it first just make sit easier for the worms to further decompose.
I use my outputs as inputs. I then mix some of the dirt compost with the black gold and get the plants to grow much faster reaches the black gold (worm castings.. a fancy word for worm poop). I also put a few worms in the soil so they can continue to eat the potting soil (worms also double every three months).
I am growing everything in a 5-gallon reservoir bucket system and even get the water to spill over and trap it so I can use worm tea (water passing over the black gold) to pour into other seedlings or smaller plants to help grow faster.
Rooting is what I needed to learn about. I know much of what I wrote has nothing to do with rooting but I thought to help show how to eliminate the purchasing of potting soil. -- Thanks for reading my rant. -- Sean
Did you ever upload a follow up for these plants? Curious to see what they look like now!
Harli, you are one of the few “chatty” UA-camrs I’ve stuck with, because you stay on topic. Your delivery is energized and also quite helpful. I prop and repot the same way you discuss and demonstrate here, and have had reasonable success. I’ll need to get some of the Black Gold mix, however - to have on hand. I’ve been faring quite well with coco coir and an assortment of amendments. But it’s still a good idea to have a good quality soil on hand. Thanks for a great video.
Chopsticks is such a #protip. Look out noodles and company, I'm coming for yo chop sticks! Great info here. Water prop is definitely my go to because I NEED to know what's happening on a daily basis.
never related with something more, ive been using sphagnum moss and its killing me!!!
So much same 🤣🤣
chopsticks are an essential part of my garden kit, definitely, so useful, you can use them to sew seeds as well, really useful tool! 🌿
You:i need to know...
Roots:get out our business
@@serinadelmar6012 , I use sticks from the craft isle in stores 8-10 for 99cents.
A VERY informative video! I use the best organic potting soil I can find locally. Seems to work well. I didn't know about transitioning plants the way you describe. Thankyou for your humility and encouraging requests from your fans!!😊🌹💝
I think you and your mom should make a series together like you said in one of your previous videos! I love seeing you two together, you guys are so real and funny. Some video ideas in general are your care routine for your plants (watering, pruning, repotting, fertilizing, etc.), more come plant shopping with me videos maybe in the spring/summer?, maybe plant wishlist videos, maybe some dyi videos like creating a mini greenhouse for propagations, decorating pots, making macrame hanging planters, etc. I know you have some videos kind of like those, but trying to give you ideas ! ❤️
The Real Tori oh! I really like all of those ideas. My mom & I have been wanting to film together more lately, especially now that I quit my retail job. Thanks for taking the time to leave ideas! I really appreciate it!
The moment I heard you speak, I turned to watch and within seconds I said "I love her already" !Your charisma, humour, beauty and brains are endearing. And so what if others may be smarter than you, cause you got the whole shabang going on. Never doubt yourself and keep on sharing that kindness. Mahalo and Aloha .
I started four Benjamina Ficus cuttings in water (different sizes and different parts of the plant). It's my first time.
I didn't plan well, because it's wintertime and cold, so I placed clear plastic bags over them, and I think it really helped.
After less than two weeks, two of my cuttings each had one very long, fast-growing root, and I truly mean *fast* . Each day I can visually see the growth, which is so cool. Now each of these is forming additional growth from it.
Your video helped me. I'll let the roots get more developed, and perhaps add a little soil a few days before soil transplanting.
Thank you 😍
Follow-up to water propagation, and now I want to transplant:
QUESTION: can I use sphagnum moss (to aerate the soil) instead of perllite when transitioning to soil?
[ I have sphagnum moss right now, and no perlite. ]
UPDATE on the water propagation:
I actually had 5 cuttings, and one died. The remaining 4 look great; I haven't monitored if they had new leaf growth. Placing the plastic bags and rubber bands around the glass contsiners to hold in the moisture seemed to work great.
They range in size from just under 2 inches tall, 4 inches, just under 6 inches, and almost 14 inches.
I hope you make a video about the aquarium! I'm a aquarium geek and would love it ^^ Pothos with the roots in the water is the best nitrate remover ever :)
Im also curious about the syngonium in an aquarium. Are you goin to use them in the aquarium or just as filtration?
Congrats on hitting 40k babe!! Not gonna lie, I found you a few days ago and I think I’ve watched almost all of your videos and bought 6 more plants in the process 🤣🤣
After I make a pot with soil I water it first with room temperature rain water or aquarium water and allow it to drain to make sure it's not soupy but moist enough to support the habit of the root growth environment and from there I monitor its moisture level...and as rule of thumb for me it's about ready for normal treatment when the plant begins to put out new growth within it's new home.
Sometimes I use a piece of coffee filter at the bottom. It keeps the dirt in and allows drainage. This is a great video. Thank you
I'm from a vietnamese background and was really suprised with your pronounciation of Pho. It was really good :D
I love propagating my plants! So easy and fun to watch grow! Thanks so much for sharing! Great information for many still struggling.
Just commenting for some quick engagement. I’ve had your videos on in the background all day while doing chores, cooking, etc. I love the way you deliver information while being very relatable! You rock!
I am propagating cuttings from our gardenia pot and from rosemary I found outdoors. I hope it works. Your video is helpful, thanks and greetings from Greece!
Great video! The only thing I would like to say, is that letting the roots grow over 2 inches in water, can sometimes lead to shock when they are put in soil. I have had success with longer roots, however, but the likelihood of shock increases with each inch of root.
I haven't had great success with soil prop, almost always do water. I put a piece of coffee filter over the drainage hole, I use the brown unbleached ones. By the time it deteriorates, the roots have taken hold. I also keep them moist for the first month, with a squirt bottle so they aren't saturated. Good vid!
I can remember as a child my grandmother putting aspirin in the water to help with rooting. Subbed.
I like the idea of adding soil to the water gradually letting the roots get used to soil.
Just wondering does that cause the water to smell or cause root rot?
Hi Harly! How are you?
WORM CASTINGS! LOL! I could just hear someone watching this video ask for worm poop. LOL!
I learned a great trick. Put some soil into the new pot, so the plant will be at the right level. Then put your old pot in the new pot. Fill in between the pots and pack it in. Then slide the old pot out and put your plant in. WHALLA!
Gerry
😎
I have heard it called mold potting. Smart!
HPE Teacher, I've repotted plants that way for many years! If you have several plants to pot "up a size," it CAN get tedious filling the soil into tight spaces; but, that's when I take a break. 🌾💜
I use a spoon, which makes it easier to get your potting mix in between the 2 pots. I use the handle to move the mix around between the pots.
😎
I think it is the way to go with plants with a lot of leaves. You do not have to lift the leaves to fill in the pot.
😎
Don’t you wanna get rid of some/most of the old soil to replace nutrients?
Thanks so much Harli! This was great for a total novice like me. Watching the video, looks like the primary ingredient that makes it all work is love. You bring a lot of joy to what you're doing and are fun to watch. Genuine and not too shmaltzy.
Found this while searching for advice on when to transplant some water-sprouted cuttings in the UK. Only culinary sage, nothing fancy, but I'd rather not kill them after waiting all this time, so I thought I'd check. On the point as to what to put in the bottom of the pot, I always go for stones or broken pot, for free drainage and a bit of weight to help stop them toppling over when the neighbour's cats get frisky. And some roots seem to like something to hang on to.
Lol... I love the chopstick technique. I thought i was the only one who uses chopsticks in plants. You're so cool.
Harli girl you the best! Idk why I was over here trying to google this stuff..you have all the plant info I need and explain things so well. Thank you💕
I have been curious about the timing in transitioning water roots to the soil. I traded some plant cuttings with a neighbor, one was a red prayer plant. It was doing so well in water but once I transplanted it into soil the leaves curled up like tubes - all except one. It's been like that for months. Still alive though, lol. kind of think the water roots weren't long enough maybe, I was just too excited to plant it and get it growing though, lol. I'm almost tempted to put it back in water. Only tome will tell. Love your videos and personality!
I'm no expert but it sounds like it isn't getting enough moisture and or too much light.
Im glad you brought up keeping the soil moist. I just moved my water propagated spider plant to soil and it seems stressed, so i thought I’d try to keep it well watered like what its used to.
I do the same with chop sticks 😂 I’ve also found that my monsteras love when I move them into soil since their root systems shoot up and produce lots of growth😊 loved this video and can’t wait until the aquarium video when you hit 20k, you’re so close!👌😅🥳
Hey Crissy! I’m moving my water propagated monstera cuttings into soil soon because their roots are thriving. Do you add soil to your water first or do you pot them directly from water into soil?
Hello! I like to put my water propagations into soil after a good amount of root growth like you suggested. I mist them really well, then I pop them in a ziplock. I blow it up kinda like a balloon so that the leaves aren’t in contact with the bag. (Or you can use chop sticks to keep the “tent” up). I put them in bright light & NO direct sun. It’s like a mini greenhouse. After awhile, (depending on the type of plant) I will unzip the bag & leave it open and slowly maybe a week later pull the plant out all the way. Works super well with succulent propagation too!
Harli, I so appreciate your sharing. I'm just a new nervous planet mommy
I find that using unbleached coffee filters on the bottom of small pots can be pretty useful to avoid a mess. It's biodegradable and it helps keep fine specks of soil from escaping. I usually lay 2-3 layers of filter, and then some pieces bark (like what you did) on top before potting.
Your plant 🌱 propagating videos are truly helping me so much! Thank you Harli 😃
Great video! Can only find black gold cactus mix in my area, which is great and I also use an organic potting mix. Mainly, I do same as you when propagating, but sometimes I don't let the roots grow too long -- depends on my patience level at the time😀😀.
Wondering what your ratio is on plant loss. Do you have any problems with them surviving and thriving in your potting mix
@@cynthiaeckard9486 It's been a mixed bag and sometimes they die. Some will take off better if placed in a plastic bag with extra humidity. If they begin to go downhill, I put them back in water. since I'm not that patient, I usually just buy another plant if it's one I really like.
I just got my first roots! I took some cuttings from my Watermelon Pep and decided, what the heck, why not? After two weeks of nothing at all, I woke up this morning and noticed some roots! I put each in its own little cup with some fresh water, and now I wait! The Watermelon Pep is one of my favorites, so I am SO happy to potentially have a second plant- nervous about repotting them eventually, so thanks for this video!
You are very smart and I love how you really care about your plants. I don't have any tips to offer as I am just about to move my first plant from water to soil. Thank you for your enthusiasm and your knowledge.
Harli you are so breathtakingly beautiful 😭 this girl could've modeled or been an actress y'all
I transfer from water to Sphagnum Moss for a few weeks then soil or grow cuttings right in the moss. The transfer from moss to soil is easier on plant. You can reuse the moss as long as no pest. 😁
I was given this tip when propogating my snake plant leaves and the roots EXPLODED! Great tip!
I normally HATE watching videos in general on youtube, but I really enjoyed this! Thanks for taking the time to share these tips. I learned so much. You are so adorable :) and yes propagating is the best! It’s like having plant grandchildren.
In "olden day" (lol) we would use broken pot chunks to block the hole. Next time you have a cracked unglazed terra cotta pot, just tap it with a hammer and youll have pieces of various sizes for various holes. I keep a bowl of broken pieces in my basement. At the greenhouse, we called the pieces "crocks" ... But I have no idea why. But they work great and dont deteriorate.
This is the best video I've found about moving my cuttings into soil! Very informative and helpful, thank you!
I had a really long comment about someone being hurtful. I can definitely be an ass so i wont do it. Ill just say i love your videos. Ive learned so much. I very much appreciate you Harley 🌿🍀❤
Adding soil little by little to the water makes so much sense.
Propagate cuttings in freshly soaked banana water the plants love it. Of course you need to refresh the water to have oxygen like you mentioned in other videos. ^^
OMG Harli!! I’m super proud of you.... Over 17,000 subscribers!!!!🤩🤩🤩 Congratulations 🎊 you know Ive always loved your you tube videos from the beginning!!!❤️ Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you for being so candid and helpful with how you grow your plants
Hi Harli! I have a question regarding a nice thick ZZ stem/stalk that I stuck in water about 6 months or so ago & I was stoked when I saw the first root pop out!
I have been watching your channel & have learned so much from you. All of the advice you've given & your friendly disposition keeps me coming back to you. I think your just precious.
So I'm wondering if I should use the above method to move my water propagated ZZ to soil, or of there is a better way I can go about doing this? I am super excited to hear what you've got to say because I've been so anxious to plant her in soil. She's got 5 stems that have also popped out each with one singular leaf & now i see that the stems are begining to pop roots as well...omg.
Please Help ME figure this out sweet girl. If possible I would love to send you a photo just so my poor description is clear and completely accurate for you! ✌🏼
Thanks so much! 🌱 Kaisa
Omg “a pink princess or a monstera or some other super rare plant” 😂❤️ so funny in hindsight considering everyone has a monstera now!
Hi Harli! Great video on transferring propagated plants.
I like to do propagating in water just to see the roots growing - and I had the same problems with the transfer to soil. Now I use mineralic substrate and self watering systems like Lechuza. The fertilizer in this substrate can be a issue, so I use Seramis without fertilizer until the plants grows accustomed to substrate, and in the first two weeks or so I fill the pot to the rim with water. Then I switch gradually to Lechuza Pon and the usual watering routine.
These planting pots are a bit pricey but... my pothos and hoya plants love it. The roots don´t rot in mineralic substrates even if I don´t know why, and I had no little insects in this. Also, it reduces the work with watering. So I switch bit by bit to this systems. Even Succulents and Cacti are okay with it, I just let them dry out two or three weeks if the waterlevel is on low. Other plants one week before I´m watering again.
Fussy plants like my nepenthes that need little fertilizing like to sit in Seramis, too. Didn´t think it would work, but there you have it.
I don´t know if you can get this systems where you live, but if you do, give it a try.
Greez from Germany!
I was JUST getting ready to pot up my variegated philodendron - Perfect timing for this vid!
Wow!!!! The root growth is insane !!!! The variegated syngonium is STUNNING !!!! So much info !
Hugely helpful and "real" talk I can understand ~ compared to many!! Also kudos for sweet & humble spirit! The plants are happy around you! 😍
I am propagating a plant someone threw away at work . It has two little roots . So I learned from you to wait till they are longer . Thank you I bought the potting mixes you suggested❤ new sub
I've missed your videos !!!!! I've been so busy, you know, buying plants, working..sleeping sorta lol potting any propagated plant is so exciting. Be right back. I'm going plant shopping again. 😂
Well, everything you are saying on this video makes sense! Glad I watched🤗☺️😁
Ahh this was just perfect I now know everything I wanted to know, thank you :) also I like your personality
Ive had a sanseveria cutting in water for about a year and a half now, i think it might be time
How did it do being transferred ? Any updates
@@LivewithKare I'll be completely honest, it's still in the water 😅 it's put out like 2 pups and it's thriving, I did just buy some potting soil yesterday so I might actually transfer it like tomorrow or something lol, but it doesn't seem to need it or care about being in the water for so long
@@aspiringpirate I wouldn’t transfer it then if it’s happy! I’m going to propagate a piece of my snake plant now and leave it too! Thank you 😂☺️
I have 3 different kinds of pothos & a wandering jew plant all growing in water. I change out the water weekly & dose aquarium coop fertilizer in the fresh water. Some of my root system’s are now a foot long & as full as a human head. Thinking its time to plant in soil or potentially get a bigger container for water. This week I added an inch or two of fluval stratum to the bottom of the water containers, I’m hoping it works well.
Can we see an update video?? Ughhh I’m so curious to see how they turned out. I just love you lol you’ve taught me a lot.
I have maybe “dumb luck” with propagation lol. I have taken at least 10 cutting from my giant pothos plant (I have 5’ vines on it) and have completed at least 3 propagating sessions. I put them all in one planter. None of them have died, all the leaves survived. I currently have 2 coleus cutting propagating, which has been super easy so far. I just give all my cutting purified water, nothing from the tap because of the chlorine content where I am from, and a sprinkle of miracle grow and they root super fast for me. 🌿🌱
I love these kinds of videos or just any videos of potting/repotting plants😍 I've been doing that all day today & now I'm here watching you😁 so relaxing😊🍃
Florence Perez playing in soil is extremely therapeutic! I totally get it 💕
I just watched the video on rooting in the sphagnum moss. Did you try a Lipstick plant in the moss ??? At my old house I had a spot that was perfect for my Lipstick cuttings. (Aeschynanthus Speciosus) I would actually take the cuttings and put them directly into a hanging basket and BOOM they took. This house I haven't found the same kind of spot.✌🏻❤🍃🌿🍃
Hey plant loving friend 🌱 Just letting you know that the gnat stuff you have listed down below 8oz for $11 ... they have a 30oz of the same brand for $18 😊 just letting you know because that's a lot more product for just a few more bucks 😁 I try to save money where I can SO I CAN BUY MORE PLANTS 🤣😂🤣 THANKS FOR SUGGESTING THE PRODUCT BECAUSE THOSE GNATS ARE DRIVING ME NUTS ! Mine will be here tomorrow 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for sharing all that you do !!
I propagated 2 cuttings of a plant my mom had for a few years, because the plant was starting to die, for whatever reason and it made her really sad because it was one of her favorites. So I propagated 2 cuttings and both of them are growing roots. Really slow, but they do. I'll tell her that I propagated some on mothers day.
I never thought about putting something at the bottom!!! That's so smart lol
First off, I don’t think there is a lot of oxygen in the water unless you change the propagation water frequently because gassed dissolve in water more at lower temperatures and as they sit the oxygen bubbles collect and are released at the surface. Oxygen is exchanged at the surface of the water but not much if it’s not moving around or if your propagating container has a small opening. A small opening can keep the oxygen from bubbling out of the water because it’s less surface area to volume. Secondly, I think the best thing to cover the drainage hole(s) would probably be mesh because it’d allow air in and water out but personally I use coffee filters since they break down fairly quickly and they still let air in at least a little bit since they’re so porous. I also do that because I don’t have mesh lol. I’m a bio major with a concentration in botany but I’m only a sophomore so I’m not saying I know everything 100% but those are my opinions at least
I think I may have not said what I meant effectively. I meant that the root systems are able to more easily obtain oxygen while in the water (with frequent water changes & I also give my plants a little stir almost daily to create those air bubbles they need) & because the density of water doesn't prevent or restrict air circulation of the root hairs. When the plant is in soil, the soil can compact & cut off oxygen flow to the roots making it more difficult for the roots to pull down the oxygen they need to not get root rot. If that makes sense? IDK if I'm wording it quite right. :P
Yes, a lot of people use mesh, but the bark covers to stop soil from falling out as well. It also still allows great water flow. It is just kind of deuces as to what everyone prefers. In this video I'm just sharing what I prefer & what has worked the best for me. I have tried coffee filters & have ended up with mold, but that is just my experience. I know it works well for others. It's interested how different it can be person to person!
Adam Hummel, very good points about the O2!
@@HarliG Video idea: bugs. Have you ever had any and what do you do to prevent/treat? EVERY plant collector has had them at some point in the hobby. In some cases they seem to materialize out of thin air, lol. Also, do another viewer question and answer.
Hi Harli, I love propagating cuttings, I have a creeping charlie that grows super crazy fast so I am always cutting it back and throwing the cuttings into water, also my lipstick plant and goldfish plant too. And I have a cup full of chopsticks that I use to prop plants up with, I do use other chopsticks to eat with, I learned how to use chopsticks before I learned to use a fork, lol. So I use them to eat everything with. I have a container of creeping charlie cuttings that I will be potting today, thank you for your tips and tricks, I just love watching your videos, I laughed out loud when you said worm poop, I must get me some of that worm poop, Lol for my plants. Have an awesome day and I will see you in your next video.
For how long you should add soil to water? Like daily or weekly and when you should stop adding and actually plant it in soil?
Have you found an answer or tried it yet? I’m looking for the same answer 😅 I don’t know how often to add soil
@@OhHeyItsJess4 nope. No answer
my recommendation is:
quantity: estimate about 1/4 the amount of water that the plant is currently in (e.g if it’s in 100ml of water, add around 25ml, don’t need to be precise)
frequency: add this amount every 2 days until the plant is completely submerged in soil (the soil will absorb all the water gradually)
i usually wait one day after the plant has reached this state, and then pot it in a nursery pot
i’ve used this technique for 8-10 of my cuttings and have had a 100% survival rate :)
This video was so helpful! I can’t wait to see an update on these plant babies. How often do you have cuttings or just other plants die?
Omg this video was so helpful!!! I’m propagating a black padoga lipstick plant for the first time and this video answered every question I had!
Yes yes yes red wiggler worm poop is amazing!! Nightcrawler worm poops is also amazing too.
I've been putting a little ripped off piece of natural sponge right in the bottom of my pots before placing the soil and plants on top. I think this helps especially for people who tend to overwater. Its like a safety net for loose debris and overwatering. Cant go wrong :)
I absolutely loved this video, thanks for sharing! Planting my propagated pathos today 😊
Love your videos! Utah here too. Kind of off subject but Costco is starting to get some house plants. Just bought a huge fiddle leaf fig for 50 bucks. Peace!
I totally forgot about black gold! Thank you!
Hitta Harli! I really like your video and your tips. The mystery plant you repotted is Euphorbia grantii. It comes in three colors, green, red and green with red dots! Super easy plant. Important to cut it to get it to spread out and the cuttings I put directly in the same pot and to do so you get a really bushy plant fast! I have all three and the green and the dotted is really but the red one refuses to grow! I water them very seldom, when I remember, but they just keep growing and looking healthy.
Anneli Larsson yay! Thank you so much for the ID that’s super helpful! 🙌🏽❤️
definitely going to adopt your chopstick tactic. its genius and lots of other great tips!
i use onion/orange produce mesh bags to block the soil from coming out, just cut the size you need and stick it right over! it does not cause too much extra bacteria because it has such a small surface area, plus we love reusing trash items
Opinions on Baby Bio? i'm a fairly new plant mum, only been buying houseplants since last summer. I asked in my local store what was the best fertiliser i could get for my houseplants and succulents/cacti. They told me to get the little orbs of baby bio you stick in the dirt and they slowly release it into the soil. So, thats what i've used so far, but i'm getting a LOT more invested in my plant care, i'm obsessed with learning more and more and adding more lil green babies to my collection.
I have a ficus macrophilla cutting and this was very helpful to transplant it
I think you did Good! But, maybe I missed something you said? When you first cut and put the clippings into water, the question is, "do you put water in the jar and NEVER change the water or would you recommend periodically changing the water while you're waiting for the roots to form" ?? Thanks for all Your advice!!!
Thanks for the advise. I have a few plants good and ready to be potted. I'm going to give your recommendation a try.
I line the bottom of my pots with burlap (folded over a couple times, then I add some perlite & a bit of sand to help with drainage.
I only recently learned that transitioning from water to soil can be stressful for the plant and now I'm anxious to actually pot my pothos cuttings which have been sitting in water for almost a year now :O I know pothos is so easy to propagate and nothing fancy, but they are still my babies, I don't want them to die!
Maria Sudermann it can really be a stressful thing to do! Best of luck to you & your pothos babies!
Very informative. Thank you. Love the moment when your doggie barked! 😄
Loved your video! Chop sticks are a great idea to use as props! Thank you!
Hi Harley,
Recently discovered your videos. Do you have a video on propagating long extensive root from water propagation to soil? How to help it assimilate to soil after living so long in water.
Great video! I use a cut piece of plastic screen in the bottom of my pots. I don’t like the idea of using bleached coffee filters but really don’t know if it matters. I use happy frog soil. It’s an organic soil with worm castings. I only use organic fertilizers too. It’s my understanding they promote stronger plants better able to withstand infectious. I’m no expert but ....🌱🌸😬
Great video, and I love how humble you are 🌸🌱
Such a good video. Great vibe and info. Plus you are a real cutie pie. 😉
Thank you for that video, I was about to pot some rooter cuttings. You are awful sweet and as beautiful as the plants you love and care for! :)
you helped me so much!!!! thanks girl. keep planting :)
Can you make a video just about hydroponic gardening? How do you fertilize water?
Loved this!!! Propagating is so fun!
You’re so sweet! Thank you for this video.
