      This was an awesome video Harli. No wonder you are one of my favorites. Great tip about the spagnum moss and soil, never knew that. I have been obsessed with removing all the spagnum from my propagation before I planted them in soil. Now I know it's not that serious, especially if I'm ruining the root system doing so.

      @@EVTD79 PLEASE don’t use spaghnum or peat moss!!! They are essential for wetlands, which are critically endangered and responsible for a third of the world’s oxygen. The harvesting method for these plants is super harmful to the ecosystem and the moss takes hundreds of years to grow so it isn’t renewable. I strongly recommend using coco coir instead, it lacks some of the nutrients that the moss has but there are better ways to get that nutrients for your plant than destroying the planet!

I just want to say that I think that’s out of line and that you should do what you need to do to make money! We get awesome, knowledgable content for FREE, so I’m happy to watch sponsorships to ensure you get paid for your labour! Thanks for being amazing!!

  • @juliealexander7948
    @juliealexander7948 3 роки тому +169

    Just a tip: Pothos give off growth hormone and that's why they root so easily. You can put a pothos cutting with other cuttings to make them root faster than all on their own :)

    • @lesliebegamkenefic5961
      @lesliebegamkenefic5961 3 роки тому +13

      Every plant puts out natural rooting hormones, that's why when I prop I use minimal water, just enough to cover the nodes, then I don't throw out the water, not until the rooting process is completed

    • @annatorres2209
      @annatorres2209 3 роки тому +8

    Wow i love plants propagation videos, I started my plants collection with a pothos leave the i found in the floor on my bosses house, didn’t even have the node, I got home place in water few days later I spot that was growing I got so excited 😂 now i have 3 very full and big Golden Pothos . That how I started my little jungle as my husband and kids called 😅❤️❤️

Harli does a Fantastic job and I truly enjoy her videos. And if I had time I would love to do them too! But I stay busy with so many plants keeping every plant watered, fed, repotted when needed and cuttings done to share with friends and Neighbors. Keep doing an awesome job sweet lady!!

    Thanks for another great vid, Harli! I also have a tip with water propagation that surprisingly I haven't seen on UA-cam yet. I water propagate in my fish tank when I can, and I've never had any cutting root faster than when they're in there. I'm not kidding that i've has some of my pothos cuttings in there for a month or so and the roots have already taken over half the tank. The fish waste is food for the plants, and helps clean out the tank, too, so it's better for your fish! Just gotta make sure the leaves stay out of the water so they don't rot. Just thought I'd share!

    • @rdred8693
      @rdred8693 2 роки тому +1

      I would be worried about poisoning the fish though.
      With some of the more toxic plants?
      If it's a safe plant, sounds like a great idea!

  • @patrycjareszka9475
    @patrycjareszka9475 3 роки тому +7

    I love water propagation, it gives me a sense of control over what’s going on with my plants 😂
    pro tip: if they keep rotting in water, just change the water more frequently, at least for the first couple of days after cutting it

    @TrisBarretto 3 роки тому +3

    I love water propagating =) Its was my go to method of propagation 🥰 . Now my favorite method is using vermiculite to propagate my cuttings. So I treat vermiculite like ‘soil”. Place vermiculite in a well draining plastic pot. Something that has smaller holes so the vermiculite doesnt leak out from the bottom. Stick the cutting in vermiculite then water the cutting. I make sure that the vermiculite is evenly moistened with the water. Then I wait for the cutting to root =) I have found my cuttings have rooted faster. Sometimes I will even put the cutting thats in vermiculite inside a prop box just to promote even faster root growth. I only water the cutting again when I find that the vermiculite is drying up. I like this method because it evenly distributes moisture as well as air to the roots =)

    Every year I used to cut all my great aunts bagonias before the winter came in california with my dad and we'd stick em straight in the mulched garden bed next to the plants they were cut from. The sprinkler system did just fine keeping them hydrating enough. We just poked a hole with a screwdriver and stuck the stem down a good 10 inches under with all the whole leaves intact and everything. No sanitizing, no rooting hormone. I was just amazed as a kid that it worked.

I don't mind the sponsorships at all, I'd rather see you talk about something you enjoy (and make more from) than watch ads that UA-cam thinks I want to see (I don't) that don't benefit you as much or as directly. You're a delightful person with an interesting and informational channel, and I appreciate and admire you!!

    Just realized that I have watched this already. 🤣 Thanks to chemo brain, I watch most of your videos multiple times! Congrats (quite late) on the new baby and I keep checking your website for your syngonium props for sale.

    One of the most helpful videos I’ve seen.. it’s really sad when my propagations die after potting them in soil.. I will definitely try the sphagnum tip!!

    Like your video's :) A little advice... Peace Lily's can live in water, that being said, I have mine with the pot sitting in a deep saucer & I keep that 2/3's full of water. So it never dries out. You have a lot of beautiful plants
