I love the smaller higher boxes, like your dollar store one🥰. If I need to use moss I use a clear cup and tape a cup on top...one per cup. It's easier to remove after growth. I could watch baby leaf videos forever 😍🤩. The teeny baby Jade is precious 💓. Thank you for the education!!
When you want to remove the little ones, try Not to drag it From so high Up. Grib lower and have Something From underneath, maybe a little spoon or a little fork :) I know of the Feeling when a plant rips, but there are ways to Help ;)
I feel a bit silly but JACK IN THE BOX has the best prop boxes. Lol. Their mini pancake breakfast platters come in the PERFECT containers. They are about an 8 inch square and about 3 inches tall. The base is fairly shallow but it has a clear lid that adds more height. There is already one vent hole in the top (so you don't have to worry too much about opening it every now and then for new airflow) and they stack beautifully. And best of all? I don't have to be the one to eat the breakfasts....they are my daughters favorite. Lol. So if you can get a hold of the Jack in the box breakfast containers, they will probably be your favorite as well because I totally agree. I like the smaller, individual boxes rather than a really big one.they won't work for those very large leafed props but they are perfect for everything else.
thanks for the videos Jeff. I've had great success with rooting using prop boxes but often lose plants (particularly coleus) when transplanting into ProMix HP. I thought I was getting root rot so shook some perlite from the roots which seems to have helped but I still have some failure. suggestions of what I need to do different?
Coleus plants ive only ever had as outside annuals...I never bring them in afterwards. So I don't have much experience with them. I do know that most varieties prefer very bright light
@@EverythingPlants omg, i dont even know!! The fresh cut grass is good lol. Or even some fresh herb?? I always wondered what people were talking about until i got a melanochrysum and then boom!
Since the perlite is doing so well as a prop box medium, can the plants just be kept in the perlite indefinitely and grow them out from there? It looks a lot cleaner than soil.
I just found a lemon lime philodendron and it was in really rough shape and I want to propogate it. Have you only propagated the stem small piece or a larger top? Can you do another video on propagating all pieces big and small of this plant?
Does the Siltepecana do well in perlite? I have one ready for a trim and was going to try perlite for the first time with those cuttings, but here you have it in moss...?
Can I use perlite that’s not as chunky? Will it be as effective? And FYI thanks for the mask tip. I nearly passed out from a perlite dust storm I created. 🤷🏽♀️
Take all those cuttings out and pot them up in plastic cups and put them in a box and put a “free”sign Gn on them and put at the end of your driveway. Maybe someone would want them.
Everything I've tried to prop in perlite either rotted or sat there for months and did nothing. So now I've got corms in with their mothers and then I'm trying sphagnum for all the rest of my corms and my Polly whose got leaves but lost all the roots. With my humidity super high mostly right now (67% this morning) I took the lid off so the corms could get better light. The sphag isn't going to dry out in that humidity and they're close enough to the light to get a slightly higher temperature. You should plant up the mystery plant and eventually we will know who that guy is! Not only is your screw loose but it literally ran away! 🤔🤣 It probably didn't want to be a stake for one of the propogations 🤷🏼♀️ Besides my Polly the plant that's struggling the most is my treubii moonlight. Even new leaves are unfurling with yellow tips. I've tried low light, grow lights and now in the window. It's internodes got tighter with the window but still yellowing. Does anyone other than the people who just bought a moonlight have one that stays looking good?
my treubii moonlight is sat by my east window in a coarse soil mixture and i water it every week (the soil is almost always dry after a week for me) with fish poo water from the water that i saved from cleaning my aquariums beforehand. Dunno wut is helping it thrive but all of its leaves are green and healthy and has had no yellowing for a long time since when i first bought it
@@lighttrustx do you use any chemicals in your tank? Even things that may change the pH or get rid of the chlorine etc? I don't currently have a fish tank setup and I don't want to, but I've heard more and more ppl are using things like stress coat and stuff in their tap water for their plants with good success, but it seems most ppl don't have a treubii moonlight anymore bc they are so picky! I am wondering if it is a case of them likely the natural fertilizer OR if they like the water to be treated with things... cuz if I have to I can always buy a seaweed or fish emulsion or even something simpler like worm castings to fertilize and I could try the fish tank stuff for my water... It's annoying to have a fairly expensive plant always looking badly while it actively grows and having no clue what one earth it actually wants! LOL My window is north but it gets a tiny bit of west sun as the sun sets (so not harsh). Its yellowing definitely isn't from sunburn... My alocasias and other plants all love that window so I don't think its a light issue...
@@MarisaAndChew I do use nilocg thrive for fertilizer in my fish tanks since they're all heavily planted and seachem prime as my chlorine remover. i dont test my water anymore since they're all stable now so im not sure now much fertilizer gets left over but i wanna say a low amount with how many aquarium plants are probably sucking it up b4 i do a water change. the soil it's in also has worm castings and osmocote for fertilizer too so i wanna say my treubii is getting plenty of almost natural fertilizer. tbh i didnt know much about this plant when i bought it so i dont know if they're usually hard to keep or not, i just give it pretty much the same treatment as my other houseplants in my room and luckily it's liking it 🤷♂
Clarify that perlite is glass shards and can shred the lungs, not just ordinary dust so mask or double mask! And wet the perlite first before pouring. 😊😷🤓

I think the tiny Jade leaves are pretty neat as well. Thanks for watching!
Love the demonstration of splendid prop box. Thanks for sharing Jeff!
Thanks!!! Can't wait to get new plants
You have one of the best rooting in perlite propagation boxes videos ever. Thanks for sharing. 🪴
So nice of you! Thanks for watching
Great info as usual. All your vids are so clear, concise and educational. Thanks!
Thanks so much for watching and I'm glad you enjoy the videos on my channel!
Absolutely a great video! Loved everything you shared and your instructions for the perlite prop-box. I’m starting one today!
Once you get it going. Let me know how your propagations do
Double sided plank. Buckwild! 😂 Thanks for taking chances and bringing us along when you try things out.
Getting crazy over here lol
I like the epiprminum around the stake. It should be pretty nice looking.
Thanks, I hope it works
Wow! Lots of successful props 👏 That moss box looks cool
I know, right?!?! I think I will let it get wild
@@EverythingPlants I would too. Lol
Hello from Puerto Rico!!! Will try a complete perlite prop box. It makes sense. Thx 🌿🪴🙋🏼♀️💚🐩
Let me know what you think of it
When you want to remove the little ones, try Not to drag it From so high Up.
Grib lower and have Something From underneath, maybe a little spoon or a little fork :)
I know of the Feeling when a plant rips, but there are ways to Help ;)
It's NEVER happened before...but I like to leave in my mistakes as it is used as a learning tool for everyone, including myself.
Glad you’re getting more subscribers. Love your channel and the information you share 💚🪴
Me too and thanks again for watching
Like the smaller size boxes, more manageable.
Yes! And I can move them around easily if needed!

Do you have a video about doing the cuts on the mother plants? Really enjoy your videos.

Nice video. I always leave a thin layer of water in the bottom to act as a reservoir and have never had any rot issues.
Nice! I make sure to keep the perlite stays wet at all times.... just no standing water
Love the cut philodendron smell!
It's a very fresh smell... What would you compare it to?
@@EverythingPlants omg, i dont even know!! The fresh cut grass is good lol. Or even some fresh herb?? I always wondered what people were talking about until i got a melanochrysum and then boom!

@@fisherchi I have tried just perlite with an alocasia and it did okay. You can definitely try out perlite with your plants!

Yes, they do well and perlite and that's my preferred method

I'm currently air layering my Splendid with moss, be interesting to see/compare the two results. Make sure you update 😊
i have a 1 mm node from my philodendron birkin, it has a unfolded leaf but i hope it isnt too small; it is like 1/10 of my nail.
Take all those cuttings out and pot them up in plastic cups and put them in a box and put a “free”sign
Gn on them and put at the end of your driveway. Maybe someone would want them.
It’s true that’s how you build a community in your area
I do put occasional cuttings and a local plant page group. Share the passion
@@EverythingPlants amazing thank you for your passion
Do you put holes in the lid of the prop box for ventilation?
Nope. Occasionally I open it to take a peek.

You'll have better balance and weight distribution by putting the plank in the middle of the pot now.
So far so good. I've never had any problems with the other ones
Do I need to add in holes to my box?
I've never had holes in mine
What kind of rhipsalis have you got in your propbox?
I got these cuttings from a friend and I honestly forgot which one it is 😂
Absolutely a great video! Loved everything you shared and your instructions for the perlite prop-box. I’m starting one today!
@@sdouglas9003 good luck!!!
How do people have perlite pop boxes without any mold?!?!
If you have them long enough....mine get algae but never any mold 🤷
Clarify that perlite is glass shards and can shred the lungs, not just ordinary dust so mask or double mask! And wet the perlite first before pouring.
😊😷🤓
I stopped using perlite and use pumice or Pon instead. Much better for my needs.
Nice ❤😊
