Thanks Jeff, I now have 4 prop boxes that are doing good. My pots will be full !
That's so fun!!!
It was fun to watch pulling plants out of the second box😊
I should have started with the first box haha. Thanks for watching.
Wow I didn’t think I wanted a dragon scale, now I want one lol 🌱
Haha....they are even better in person
I like your shirt! And this video. And all your videos ever made
Thanks so much. This pink shirt is currently one of my favorites. And thanks for all the channel support.
You getting me into perlite is multiplying my plant collection faster than I can keep up lol. So thanks! What I'm super happy about is that I can't propagate my golden or neon pothos in water as they always rot, but they do great in the perlite lunch box.
I love hearing comments like this! And that is pretty crazy about your pothos rotting in water. Those are some of the quickest rooting plants for me.
@@EverythingPlants yeah I don't know if it's my tap water or what. Most other cuttings work well for me just putting in water, but pothos starts going black at the stem very quickly. Now I get them well rooted in perlite and transfer to leca where they continue to do well.
That's what I was wondering as well...your water. I'm glad the perlite has worked for you!
@@jonmcintosh8653 I have the exactly the same problem with Pothos too! The only one that is doing ok is an N-Joy but Golden and especially Neon just keep rotting 😔 I've been inspired by Jeff too and have cut up my Neon and Golden and have them both in perlite, fingers crossed 🤞 It's weird as all other my other plants are doing well, especially a few Philodendron varieties which I assumed would be similar to Pothos? 🤔🌱 I wondered whether it was something to do with the UK temps etc as I don't use tap water?
@@ShakiBee541 that's really interesting! I thought I was doing something unusual as they're supposed to be so easy to propagate but it's strangely good to know it's not just me rotting them 🤣. Hopefully you'll have the same success as me with perlite 🤞.
thank you Jeff!!!!! loved this video, love your enthusiasm and joy for your plant babies! blessings to you from Sacramento CA USA!!!
Thanks Jamie!!! I am so glad you like my videos and hello back from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada!
Great set up
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing.
And thanks for watching!
Thanks for mentioning the mask!
Safety first!
They look great!
Thanks so much!
Yessss love a good perlite prop box!
They are so exciting and most of these cuttings had crazy long roots!!!
Awesome content , I have about 6 of those containers and a large bag of perlite; Would be nice to be able to propagate successfully
Thanks Veronica. Do you perlite in your prop boxes?
I love your videos -- I either learn something new (I'm always up for that!) or you are doing something I was thinking of trying, which gives me some confidence. Thank you. Please keep your videos coming.
Thanks and as long as you wonderful people keep watching my videos, then I will keep making them!!!
My thoughts exactly 💯
@@elizabethjrich4415 thanks everyone!!!
Good job 👍👌❤️ I love your plant 🌵
Thanks Dana!
Great video! Thank you 😊 I don’t have a lot of space so I use smaller food containers- I’ll have to post a video soon about ot
Awesome!!!
Wow that dragon scale 🤩🤩 on my wish list!
Great video and information. I don’t use perlite like this (I use moss), but seeing your success makes me want to try!
Thanks!!! I have really enjoyed using perlite so far. Thanks for watching my videos.
Great propagating tip. I have perlite. I'm going to propagate my Micans. Thank you for sharing. Your new babies look great!!
Glad it was helpful!
Hey, your propagation are looking good 😀 Yes the Golden Goddess is finicky too propagate. Had several too rot off in water but I found they do like spag moss. Good luck 💚😀
This is interesting because this will be the first unsuccessful propagation I've had in the perlite box 📦. Thanks for sharing your experience with it.
.. I propagate all my cuttings I perlite and it works perfectly.. Back in May I had to clean up one of my golden pothos, and I tried to propagate two leafs that had broke off.. They have been in my mini green house, in perlite, ever since then.. I completely forgot about them, and about a week ago when I did a check up, I saw they had made new roots.. It was just the leafs, no node or anything.. So you just wait, with patience, and your leaf will give you roots.. But things takes time, and you need to be patient.. Good luck..
I agree and say this quite often.....just have patience! Thanks Aingeal.
Nice! I have a couple cuttings I put into perlite and a couple in water and the ones in perlite are producing way more roots faster.
Awesome! I've had pretty good success with perlite so far. Thanks for sharing your experience with it!
Interesting, not a fan of perlite but something I might try for plants with tender roots.
Thanks for watching. Which method do you propagate your plants with?
I had a similar issue with peru. It basically died on me. I tried to put a few leaves in propbox and they melted. I just put a bunch of siltepecana in the perlite-prop-box so I'm glad to see yours did well in there!
Ya, the siltipecana did really well. However, I lost a couple leaves when I potted them up in soil. It was definitely my fault as I didn't give them enough water at first.
Golden goddess has been struggling , might try making a prop box and take a cutting thanks for your videos!
The golden goddess didn't do well in perlite, but I had someone else tell me apparently it does well in moss.
@@EverythingPlants thanks good to know maybe it’s time for an experiment …
@@thecakepopsistars you or me? Haha
@@EverythingPlants 🤔😅
I have 3 propagation boxes going right now. Mostly a mix of pots with soil and sphagnum moss. I will have to try a box with perlite. Pet pickles for me!
What do you have growing in your prop boxes?
Philondendron I now propagate in moist spagnum moss. They grow like crazy when in moss. I've had them rot away in water, dry wetsticks out on soil, and non starter in perlite as well. Spag moss is the way to go with them, and warmer temps/high moisture also is helpful for the ones that are fussy! 👍🍀✅
Thanks for this. Honestly, this golden goddess is the only cutting I've ever had any issues with. I will try moss for the next philo propagation.
@@EverythingPlants moss and warmth will help bunches, is our experience! 👍✅
Great video. I’m gonna give perlite another try. My first go at it was no too successful. You seem to have really good results with that method of propagation. Thanks for the encouragement. Stay safe.
Sorry to hear, Faith. What did you try in perlite?
I tried to do string of hearts.
I've only had success with water for these guys.
I always look forward to your new videos. Thank you for the great content . How long do you plan on keeping your dragon scale in perlite? It looks like the mother plant is thriving in it ☺️
Thanks so much. Which dragon scale are you referring to? For the large one that had root rot prior, I plan on keeping it in there permanently. It is doing so well in there and keeps growing, so it must like it lol
💚💚
👍
Since Perlite works well for you, did you try to plant the cuttings in individual pots before setting them inside the propagation box? This will keep the roots undisturbed when you take plants out of the box.
You doing fantastic with your plants. I do pretty much same way, just have problem with monsters dubia. I'm trying in perlite right now, roots are growing but leaf is turning yellow. Hope it will work 🤞
Good luck!
Hi, I am propagating a jade pothos. I tried water but the leaf started to turn yellow but it had good roots. I put it in a nursery pot with soil and some golden pothos cuttings and now the leaf is all yellow but has new growth (2 leaves)and a great root system. Good luck 👍
Very cool video.
Have you done an experiment with rooting hormone and it’s effects? I searched through some of your videos and I couldn’t find anything on it.
I haven't done an official experiment, but maybe something I try in the future.
I have one perlite prop box and one moss for my wet sticks. I’m also trying to beef up my micans so I can have it full and trailing over my shelve ( like the one you have behind you in the video).
I only prop my siltepecana for a couple weeks then plant up. They root so fast.
I was blown away by the size of those roots...definitely left it for too long haha. Which type of medium do you prefer?
@@EverythingPlants Perlite. Sometimes to root my vining plants I just put the cuttings in a plastic cup of perlite with a bit of water at the bottom and stuck them in a plastic bag, For me this takes up less space.
I am a new watcher. I am really learning a lot. I usually propagate in water or soil. I keep getting knats using the soil. I am trying to find aways to avoid them by watching different videos. I would like to know what you think is best for a well draining soil. Thanks 😊
Well draining soil is so important and like I mention near the end of this video I use a tropical soil with orchid bark, perlite and charcoal. I haven't had any issues with gnats after using this type of mix.
And thanks for watching my videos!!!
Syngonium albo it's not rare and should not be expensive. I worked in a plants store and we sold them for 10 bucks each, full pots. Prop chop and Drop the price. Everyone has been getting plant gouged for about 3 years
That is not surprising to hear at all. Sad too!
I'd like to know what soil mixture you use or make for Hoya's.
Thank you for sharing. Are you still fertilizing? I'm in Ontario Canada and wanted to know if I should still fertilize. Great videos as always .
If the plant is still pushing growth then I'll cut the dose in half through the fall/winter months.....and welcome to the channel! Hello from Saskatchewan!
@@EverythingPlants Thanks so much. I will do that.👍😁
Can you do this with snake plant cuttings? Put them in just perlite i mean. I have to trim a few leaves that are leaning. I've never tried to propagate this way. But I have thought about it. Didnt think it would work.
I don't see why it wouldn't. You could always take a chance and give it a shot!
I started following your channel especially for growing Hoya's at the moment. I've already seen a lot of video's I will be watching. I do have a question: that small greenhouse you've got on the left, do you know the brand of it? Also: would a Hoya thrive in a greenhouse like that, or in a terrarium for that matter? Thanks for replying in advance.
Hello Ellie. I will check the brand of the greenhouse when I get home, but I do believe I removed the tag from it.
Hoyas like to dry out in-between watering, but what you could do for air flow is remove a couple of those small window panels and that should do it.
@@EverythingPlants Thanks.. good idea! I found a similar mini greenhouse online... so no worry..
And so would you let the perlite dry out on the Alocasia Dragon Scale or keep the perlite most at all time?
I treat it like a regular plant....it ends up getting pretty dry then I thoroughly water it
Hi Jeff! Have you ever experienced algae growing on your perlite in the prop box? If so, is it okay for your propagations? How do you take care of it? Thank you!
Hey Athena! I haven't had any in my prop box yet, but I do have some starting in my perlite container with my silver dragon. So far it has not affected the plant that I can see. I will be keeping it in perlite but I might find opaque container to block out the light.
That’s a great idea! I’ll try and see if that works. Thank you!
Can you leave your prop box out in the sun? Since its a plastic container, it's stopping the direct sunlight?
Mine I on the floorbof a south window and gets some direct sunlight and hasn't harmed the props yet. Now saying that, I probably wouldn't recommend it as it could literally destroy your cuttings.
Dunno, perlite is the kiss of death for my props. Threw another cutting away this morning. 😒
What? Oh no....what cutting was it?
@@EverythingPlants my peperomia ginny
@@mairwaugus5203 peperomia I can see not liking the higher humidity.
@@EverythingPlants I've tried them in open pots of perlite also
Hi I am new subscriber pl tell me perlite pro...box with cuttings how meny days keep close with cap 🙏🙏
Perlite pro....I like that lol. I keep the lid close all the time and I'll maybe open it up for an hour (maybe) like once a week. I really don't have a schedule for opening the box. Whenever I get curious about the cuttings I'll take a look or if I add some in there.
Do you think strings of dolphins will propagate well in perlite? My strings of dolphins is not doing well
I've never tried it in perlite....as long as it's in a prop box with higher humidity....it should do fine. I've only ever propagate the string of pearls in soil.
Did you washing the perlit this number 1 and and the box without growing light
Yes...I rinse out the new be perlite dust. You need either a bright spot near a window or a grow light to help the plants root!
@@EverythingPlants thank you appreciate 😊
Can you mix soil with the perlite?
Yes! Perlite is a soil amendment for airflow and drainage! When you are done with the prop box you can use that perlite for soil mixes
