Question should I put my new cuttings that have no roots on them yet in water with plant rooting powder mixed in
@@gardenangel7142 hello. As long as there’s a node, you probably don’t even need rooting hormone. They usually root pretty easily. The powder can help if you have a cutting that doesn’t activate, but powders work better in potting medium.
@@paultheplantparent2702 yes my cuttings were rooting for a while very well but for some reason they're not right now I don't know if the plant might have some kind of disease or something thank you for the response
Hi Paul! Can you tell me about your grow light setup for begonias? Thank you
@@natalieshore7844 hey Natalie. I’ve been using LED “daylight” screw-in bulbs and they seem to do better than the LED “grow lights” I have. Better growth, better color and it’s much less expensive. 😃👍🏼
@@paultheplantparent2702 very interesting!! Thanks so much 💜 Do you measure ppfd?
@@natalieshore7844 I’ve never measured the light before. A lot of my plants are now getting natural light from a south facing window. The LEDs are usually for propagations these days.
Where is the transferring video please?
@@Official-Geniusasad- Here’s the original transfer. How To Trasfer Syngonium (And Other Aroids) To Water Culture ruclips.net/video/mFjpPz_9C9k/видео.html
I have few questions please.. Can I just put my soil rooted snake plant into water only? When it’s time to use fertilizer, do I have to wash the old water away and then put diluted fertilizer water into vase or should I leave the old (clean) water and then add some diluted fertilizer water in the vase? What is the difference between water culture and semi hydro?
@@Official-Geniusasad- I’ve transferred a bunch of snake plants to water culture…but the water needs to stay clean so it won’t rot. I would add the fertilizer to fresh, clean water but only once new roots have formed. I would also start with just a little bit of water….this way the stem/leaves won’t easily rot. Semi hydro uses a medium for the plants like Leca, pon or lava rock, and uses a small reservoir of water at the bottom. One easier way to transfer these could be using semi hydro, with the reservoir being well below the plant roots. This way the root zone is damp from water wicking up, but not waterlogged. Then the roots will grow down, into the reservoir. At that point you can transfer to water culture, which has no medium….just water.
Paul, you have made me an acrylic yarn medium convert. I've moved several plants I had in water to acrylic yarn and they have taken off. Ive tried moving plants from soil to leca or pon. Most were okay and took to it well but others didn't. If I was able to save them from rot, I moved them to acrylic yarn and they are doing so much better. Thank you ❤
@@csept that’s fantastic to hear. I feel the same way. It’s saved so many of my plants. Thank you so much for letting me know. You made my week!!!! 😃😃😃
Paul, I need your input. Is it OK to use coco coir, leca & perlite? Do u think plants will do well?
@@mdt6176 I’ve heard of ppl using coco and perlite with lots of success. Adding Leca would only help drainage. I don’t see a down side. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Paulie!!!! Leave that baby "Big Red" as she is. She's stunning!!! Also, I'm partial to begonias. My favorite is my Guy Savard. He is super easy to care for. I've never removed him from the 1.5" pot. The pot is maybe 3" tall. I have it sitting inside a clear plastic vase and I keep an inch of water in that. The roots have now come down into the reservoir. I've had him 3 months or so and he's completely covered in pink flowers. He's stunning and my favorite. Shhhh 🤫 don't tell the others. 🤣🤣 The peperomia I got from you is beautifully ginormous!!!! Anyway, I hope you're having a beautiful weekend!!
@@cindyjohnsen326 Wow that’s great!!!! You know what? I’m gonna keep big red as she is. Thank you for confirming that for me. Cane begonias are so beautiful!!! Can’t wait to get some flowers in this one. I got that one a few years ago because aide they said the flowers smell like honeysuckle. They better be right. 😂. So glad the pep is doing great. How have YOU been? Always great to hear from you!!!
@@paultheplantparent2702 I'm so much better now that they took me off of the meds to make me feel better. In reality it was killing me. When they say, we've done a study with 1400 people and only 1 death. That's me 🙋♀️, I'm the 1 death. 🤣🤣 I can laugh now because I feel 100% better.

"Same as" for anyone learning that means nothing. Please let us know what its watering needs are. Other than showing us ehat it looked like and the soil tou recommend tha5s not much info.
@@americandingo6715 you ok? U seem angry. Watering needs could vary depending on the environment you live in. What info do you need? There are plenty of videos/info online that can also help. Hope you feel better.
@paultheplantparent2702 sorry. Not angry. Just blunt.
@@paultheplantparent2702 it would be nice for novice people to get a little more info. For many novices info such as ambient humidity effecting watering needs within their home is not something most would ever consider. Begonias is such a huge and varied group of plants. I learned the hard way how different they can be. Unlike ,say philodendrons that are overall much more consistent in watering needs. I have talked a lot of people out of purchasing certain begonias because I knew their home environment or their lifestyle was going to mean certain failure. Because I live in the north east coast we gave very inconsistent weather. So I only try to keep certain ones. If I wanted to turn my home into a greenhouse i could keep other types. But the average person just wants to enjoy their plants. Many people come onto sites such as yours hoping to get info that will help them. Sorry if I came off as angry. It's lazy typing not fixing typos and I'm just blunt most of the time. What prompted me to make my original post is that the Bruchii is so uncommon to see anyone post about it was pleasantly surprising.
Hi Paul, i am newbie to plant. I just transfer from soil to water but since my water pot is small in size and due to my lack of knowledge, i trim off the root structure. Now i m worried if the root will grow back and thrive or i actually killing the plant. If it's the last, anything i can fix?
@@winnie5985 is this an anthurium? When I transferred mine, I just had to make sure the water was completely clean all the time. They do well in Leca and lava, which might be a little easier to transition. Let me know how it goes! 😃😃😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🪴🪴🪴
@@paultheplantparent2702 yes anthurium. I will let u know how it goes, crossed finger...
Well now I have to start whacking all my plants to see which ones will give me new plants through leaves. Pileas, begonia………gah
@@lisaharrison1153 it’s so much fun. I don’t think Pilea can grow from a leaf. It’ll root but then it stops there. But it’s so much fun to experiment. Let me know if you find anything interesting/successful. I can make a shout out to u if anything cool happens. 😃😃😃

Enjoyed your video with growing the lemon lime plant in water , I will try that 😊
@@annalawton8163 yay!!! They root pretty easily for the most part. Hoping you have wonderful success. 😃👍🏼
Have you ever tried completely submirging plants in water, would that work too? I got a small but high "aquarium" that I would like to try this on
@@soemtheng9704 plants that live on land usually need to have their leaves out of water. Many times the leaves would rot if submerged under water eventually.
That little orchid is so lucky to have you as a her plant parent. I just lost two orchids…oh well. The other four are doing well thanks to SWC.
@@debm460 oooh thanks 😃. That was so nice. Sorry for your two losses. It’s amazing how SWC works so well, right?
great videos. lI am trying a dying croton in water. not looking good. Any advice?
@@kentb-xn3we thank you so much!!!! 😃 oh I’m sorry to hear. Crotons can be cranky. Did yours lose its leaves yet? I got one to root in water. I guess it depends on da how far gone it is. How’s it looking?
@@paultheplantparent2702 I had three trunks in basic soil. always thought it was one plant, Started dropping leaves. so I dug it out. turned out to be three ind. plants. Lost one, two separate plants now in water only, getting three hours of sun, some minuscule buds on main trunks "trying" to emerge, but seem reluctant. This was such a beautiful group two months ago. they don't look happy. Bark is pathetic. Roots look viable, but not really convinced this will work.
@@kentb-xn3we I was able to transition to water but it wasn’t compromised. I wonder what happened with yours. I did get a lot of spider mite problems with mine. They’re a favorite of mites. Let me know how things progress. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
All 15 of mine are in semi water culture. I dump out the water on Thursday, check on them Friday and add a small amount of water to cover bottom of roots. They are thriving. I’ve been doing this for about 9 years.
@@beverlyhardy4398 fantastic!!! You’re proof that it really works well. Tysm for your comment!!!! 😃😃😃
Great tips Paul. It's funny, I have Spanish moss growing everywhere and have to pull some off of the trees becasue they hit me in the face as I walk by. I try not to remove them. When I moved to Florida I was enamored by them. You have presented some great tips. I have had tillandsias for years, but like many people, struggled indoors and outdoors with them. About 6 months ago, I added some to my outdoor hanging plants, attaching them to the wires above the hanging baskets. The weight of each plant caused them to hang upside down. They are doing great. I know that they don't like water sitting on them, but I didn't realize how much they would appreciate being in that position. We are in our rainy season and I brought a white fuzzy one into the house because it is reported not to like a lot of water. I'll stick out in the rain every couple of weeks and then bring it back in to dry in the window. I love the look you created by hanging them all together. I will be trying that soon. Thanks.

@@cynthiayee5116 hey there Cynthia. I have been able to grow ficus in water, but sometimes they freak out and drop all their leaves. I’ve seen ppl grow them in Leca or lava rock too, but any kind of d if transition potentially could make them drop their leaves. Not sure why that happens. If it looks healthy, maybe see if it’ll thrive in soil for you.

How long was the transition from soil roots to water roots for your Maranta and Ctenanthe? Also if you did the transition with wandering Jews.
@@jamesl627 Maranta and Ctenanthe were quicker than Calathea. The soil roots transitioned to water roots and started growing around 2-3 weeks later. I have a lot of Tradescantia pallida - Purple Heart, Blue Sue, Pale Puma, growing in water. They’ve been in water a long time too. 😃👍🏼
@paultheplantparent2702 thanks. I didn't want to have the root rot happen in my aquarium so better off that happens in the propagation vessel then move it to my tank when its fully transitioned
All of my plants dried up and I trashed them. Thank you!

Is it best to use clear glass, for best results? Thanks
@@MsSweetlandofliberty clear glass I use cause I like to see the roots, but algae grows. They may do better in darker glasses. Tnx for watching. 😃😃😃

Do they usually die after blooming?
@@Planty-Mandy the main plant eventually lets go after a few months, but she leaves a few pups (baby plants) behind to keep the cycle going. Some even pup before they bloom, which is fun.
I've watched many, many videos on propagation and yours is one of the most useful. Thank you so much! I will definitely try your wicking method next time. Keep up the good work.
@@kerriesutton7131 wow!!!! Thank you so much!!! I appreciate that more than I can say!!! 😃😃😃😃😃👍🏼🪴
Will it die when transfered into soil?
@@tyragarrett8506 it can set it back a little, but keeping the soil damp all the time can help it acclimate a little easier. They’re more of the sensitive type of plants for sure.
How did you attach it to the yarn? Did you use regular glue?
@@beverlyhardy4398 hi Beverly. I used a hot glue gun. I let it cool for a few so I don’t singe the poor things before attaching. 😃😃😃

Hi Paul. You mentioned the acrylic yarn being a lot like rock wool and that made so much sense to me. I've often wondered about rock wool and have had a cube of it for years not knowing how to use it so maybe it's time to put it to use and try one of the broms or spider plant babies from my garden.
