You all probably dont care but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
I stopped your video midway, dug around in my plant supplies, and set it up. Went right back to the video and finished off by seeing your little man. It's a two-fer! Thanks!
Hey Harli! Love you videos! I need to do this!!! Thanks so much for the idea! You mentioned the Hoya carnosa compacta and thought I’d just share how I have gotten mine to root. A big ziplock bag full of perlite, wet the perlite and blow up the bag. In a west window. And I got them all to root. I was shocked 😳 just thought I’d share my success in case it can help anyone else out
Ive just switched to perlite, It was recommended as a good way to overcome transition shock as the roots dont have to be separated from the growing media . I live in New Zealand and we make the world's top Sphagnum moss, and you can buy perlite and pumice from your local extinct volcano. I use sphagnum around the base of my hoyas in the summer and the have improved growth
I love doing this method with strawberry boxes for small plants and grape boxes for a bigger cuttings..they are clear boxes that already have holes in them so it has work great for me Thanks for sharing 💚
Last Saturday I made up boxes of damp moss, and filled them with cuttings of Scindapsis, P Micans, Tradescantia and Heart Leaf Philodendron. I have roots. In one week. The cuttings have stayed happy, perky, green and healthy looking. I am beyond amazed, and telling EVERYONE that will listen about your method. Thank you so much for this info!!
I’m also obsessed with this prop method! Btw, perlite makes a great substrate as well. I briefly soak it in water sometimes with seaweed supplement and then drain it fairly well. Then into the chamber it goes! Works like a charm. :)
I do this, but I mix some rooting hormone into my sphagnum and I keep right next to an East Window. They get. Little direct sun in the morning. I also air it out once a week.
When drilling holes in plastic you dont need to put masking tape down first just heat up the drill bit ie with a lighter match and it will melt drill through easier.
Hello Harli 🙋 Thankyou for all your videos... you are really amazing , beautiful and talkative 🤣but we really enjoys watching you ...I am from the Philippines your No 1 fans here💕 Hello baby cute but not a baby now anymore , this video was 3 years ago 🤣🥰
I came back and found this video because i’ve had sentimental cuttings i’ve been trying to root for MONTHS. they were starting to rot so i did this yesterday as my last attempt. THEY ALREADY HAVE ROOTS. thank you !!
I make videos too and when you said “this video is pointless”, I felt that haha. But rest assured its very helpful 😊 thank you! Can’t wait to try this method.
What Ralph just said. YOU are doing GREAT! You remind so many of us old timers - of ourselves when we were young, like you are now :) keep doing what you love to do! 💖🐦 we are you, but with decades of experience!!!
I've been doing this too and can't believe how well it works for things like peperomia prostrata or aglaonema. I also still use water propagation, but agree this is such a great method!
I love watching your videos because you act like you are confident about what you talk about in your perspective . You are adorable when you realize you spoke the reality of your taking care of plants many of us are emotionally attached our beautiful plants we get attached to. You are straight up about not having a standard formula data sheet with exactly a for everything and that is the only way to put it . Then you get even more lovable when you feel like you didn’t give your subscribers an explanation to what most people want to know. .
I do this too! I was shocked how much faster it was than water. Definitely my favorite method for most aroids. peperomia are still easier in water for me
Can we talk about how I get MORE useful information from your channel and have used more of your suggestions than any other and now I'm a better plant mom because of you.
Why is it babies always end up looking their dads after everything we go through for them 😂 You are both looking beautiful ❤️ Sending love from the UK xx
Not sure if you wanted a legitimate answer to this 😃but it's actually to make sure the father doesn't abandon the baby! So all babies look like the father in their early months/first year, to insure the father will love it and will stay around to take care of it. (Obviously not something that's very necessary anymore, but it's a cool primitive biological thing that is still prominent in present day babies)
@@PiquaLilly this is actually not true. There was a study done on it in 1995 but ultimately since we have found it inconclusive since. Funny theory though. And though you said it isn't useful anymore, I'd disagree. A lot of father's remain absent.
REALLY🤣 Tesla never had sex with a female that made him a genius believe it or not!! He even said women steal are most ESSENTIAL energy. Maybe that's why we pay for water and land in a water land world loll SADLY✌Worst then Animals!! 🙃 I dont have children cuss I can S👀 👑Focus on what matters I suggest IT GETS WAY WAY DEEPER. You will reincarnate forever if you keep thinking like that. Hope you like it HERE loll Eviliv3 is no coincidence
“Oh this video is pointless” it’s not. I actually tried this method a year ago and my plant rotted and died. Now I know it’s because it didn’t receive any light. This video is very helpful, thanks for sharing.
So, Harli, this method is no joke, and I'm super grateful to you for showing us how you do this. I've been using it for cuttings ever since you first posted it.
This is crazy, I've been calling this, "my humidity trapping method" and its pretty much the exact same as yours!! haha - One thing about the direct sun, is that it heats up the interior of the container. I've found this to actually be very desirable as it causes the moisture to regularly evaporate and condense on the walls /lid of the container. I believe this has a great deal to do with stopping mold and rot because it means there is an actual "water cycle" occurring inside the propagation vessel wherein the water is never allowed to sit stagnant in the substrate.
So inspired! Just went out and bought spagnum moss & found a big container box. Could you please do one with tips and tricks for taking the cuttings that you then put In here. Never done cuttings yet but am so keen.
Harli, your excitement about the prop box is so cute. This is my second time watching this because there is some great information in it! I have learned a lot about plants from watching your videos. Thanks. PeterInHalifax.
It’s amazing just how much I learn from you. The amount of information you give us is so appreciated. Sometimes I think I have exhausted all of my options and then I watch your videos and it’s nice to hear your way of doing things. I try some of the techniques that you use and it works well. I am always happily surprised when I succeed. Thank you for sharing your inspiration and insights much love and prayers for your family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️
Dear Harli, thank you very much for this video. I can't wait to try it. The most helpful thing I learned was your throwaway comment about using the method as an 'ICU' for plants!!! Thank you! Kai has great timing, he woke up just in time for us to see him, bless him. :)
The word is addict ! Lol. Just looked at those type boxes , and thought hmmm, I could use those for propagating !. Then, next day, here you are, must be a sign.😇 thanks
Ash the Curly Blonde I feel the same way! I get most of mine as cuttings in swaps & stuff! I have great luck getting great hoyas on Facebook BST groups too!
I love this video. I've been doing a sort of terrarium for propagating succulents, I was using an old clear salad container with a snap top. I have just had a paper towel in the bottom and I mist it with water occasionally. One of my biggest issues has been rooting into the paper towel. But using moss will solve that issue. Thank you for this video!
Somehow I came across your video and I'm so glad I did, my backyard like your room - I propagate and grow over 1,000 plants, I live in Florida and we just got hit by a hurricane and I'm seeing lots of stuff ( sadly/happily for the additional plant) that I can use your technique on! I have propagated succulents for about 10 years and a lot of other plants, I love the idea of creating more plants!!
Loved the video, propagation is so fun! I've been subscribed for years for your plant content but i would LOVE for more baby content :) He's honestly one of the cutest babies i've ever seen!
This works, thank you Harli. The only method that has worked actually, for me. But I think it worked so well that my roots got too intertwined with the moss. Be careful and if the moss is not giving, then let it be... because you will just pluck the roots off of your cutting otherwise.
Great video Harli, I've been watching your videos every day after work and they help so much to melt away the stress of the day. You make me feel like I'm hanging out with a good friend and this is so helpful especially right now. So, in case you are in need of some validation, you are awesome and I/we are thankful for you and other creators now more than ever. 💚 from Vancouver
I started a propagation box....oh my gosh...I’m addicted. So much fun and so exciting. I don’t even know what I’m going to do with all these babies but YAY for all the prop babies. 😀
I’m so going to try this! I’m using a similar box with moss (not sphagnum, just the one i find in my garden) to germinate avocado seeds! A friend suggested it and it is working wonderfully 🌿
Harli, I finally got a box and put it out using everything from your video. I put in only the saddest of cuttings just to see. I didn’t have GREAT light for it so I was already worried, and I hadn’t checked the box for a MONTH until today, I was sure I messed it up. I have so many HUGE GORGEOUS HEALTHY rooted plants now, it totally rehabbed them!! Thank you so much for this video/technique! Doing my second round today! P.S. would love to show pics of the bounty, any place to post them? P.P.S. the moss is super wet and there is a lil green moss growing on some of it - do I need to pitch it and start over or discard the most part? It doesn’t smell and it obviously worked so well, I wasn’t sure. Thank you so much!!❤️
I literally just moved a couple props I was trying in water to this after watching your video! I’m very new to houseplants and your videos are so helpful!
Thanks for this propagation method, I literally did this the same day I seen this, about two weeks ago. Today there are roots on all the Hoyas I have propagated with your method. Thank you !!!!!!
I’m one week in with my prop boxes and everything is growing so so well! Silver pothos that I’ve had a really hard time rooting in water is FLOURISHING. I will say that whenever I use mosquito bits, they make the surface of my plants moldy, and the same is happening in these prop boxes because they’re so wet. No fungus gnats, but I’m still brainstorming a solution so that I don’t have to keep cleaning mold out of my plants/prop boxes! I’m going to try replacing the sphagnum and trying without mosquito bits and take care when I open them for air.
If it can kill a whole mosquito, it can kill the protective disease suppressive bacteria that tend to survive on dry moss. Pathogens don't do so well all dried out. I use black gold seed starting mix and either use it straight. I have lots of fungus gnats in my potted veriegated pothos with rich soil and compost but none at all in my propagation setups. Hope that helps.
Either use it straight or mixed with fresh spent coffee grounds* just don't be sterile or sanitized at all In there, but still be clean and tidy lol if that makes sense. Plants have bacteria and fungi inside them anyway so sterile isn't even an option. If u have sterile media, it's a buffet for the first mould spore to float in there. U want those spores to be outnumbered and eaten by lactobacillus and b. subtilis, pseudomonas, etc.
I've been doing this same idea for ages! It works SO WELL! I put leca in the bottom, then moss, so I dont have to water as often. Mine are on my seed starting mat under my grow lights, so to reduce the mold i take the lid off and let it air out one day a week. The only thing that works better for rooting is fish tanks. Lol
I've been doing it with old tupperware/plastic take out containers. Working good! And that's a great idea with keeping a jar of water with it for additional humidity. 🌿👍
Great video, great energy. Our world is in such a learning fog it’s nice to see some with a clear passion and drive for nature. Plants are something that can change every person on earth for the better.
I am so trying this box method! I've just started air layering and am seeing results quickly, so it would be great to give this a go as a lower maintenance way to propagate 🌿
i apologize if this is a duplicate question, i did try to scroll through and read them all before commenting. how long does the spag moss last before you should swap it out with new? i’ve ordered the stuff to make one and am just wondering how long it lasts once the prop box is made. thanks so much!!
@@suckiiiit9368 Yeah things that mattter lolll I needed that info bad and all I see is gossip!! Bahaha I actually wasted my money on that sphagnum Moss stuff didn’t work for me. Luckily I’m a fkn genius and I can clone anything now with tap water and my fogger. Don’t need anything else but nutrients might make my success faster. 🙃 👑
Have you ever tried this method with a shrub, like a hydrangea? I have used the box method but always in pots of soil. Interested in your insight. Thanks.
Thank you so much Hali, I really really enjoyed watching you talk about your sphagnum moss propagation. I’ve got some cuttings in a similar box. I’m hoping to get some more plants from it. Your baby boy is so cute and adorable too, and your black Lab who was in the background. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤
This is genius! My only regret is that I watched it a day too late 😑 I went to a local flower market yesterday and saw shops selling a bagful of moss but I didn’t buy it because I was thinking that it’s too early to build a moss pole to my vining plants. Didn’t know that it can be used like this. I have a few questions tho: 1. Will the propagations using this method adapt faster when placed in soil? (Compared to the water method) 2. I have a potted baby P. Brasil (just got it last week) and I think she’s not in her best shape so I’m thinking if I can also place her inside this without removing her from the pot or cutting it for propagation. 3. Can this method still grow leaves? I have few cuttings in water that has a shoot but it’s taking a while for it to develop. Thank you!
Lovely video and commentary!! And don‘t worry about instructions being too vague or „pointless“, it actually does a good job of conveying the information „there‘s not much you can do wrong“. As opposed to plant videos being filled with a lot of exact data and numbers of sunlight, acidity etc that just makes me nervous because it makes me feel like I‘m handling a nuclear bomb rather than a houseplant
I have a question about transferring from the sphagnum to soil. Do you have to get the sphagnum that has stuck to the roots off before you pot it up? If so how do you recommend doing it?
I tried this and after just 1 week my monstera adasoni has almost a half in root!!! No rooting hormone used at all. Love this method I’m officially converted.
Hey Harli... just wondering if you are straight up throwing mosquito bits into the box or are you soaking them and rehydrating the sphagnum with the water? 😊
I have rewatched this several times recently!! SO HELPFUL!! SO POSITIVE! Thank you for sharing your experience and advice! I never put Hoya in much humidity but now I have started and NEW GROWTH, WHO DIS!? Do an Update On Spring Prop Boxes!!! Or Spring Growth!!!
Loved this video ❤️ Do you have any strategies for “hardening off” the plants once you’re ready to take them out? I’ve been doing this with a bunch of peperomia leaves but I found especially the peperomia Rosso don’t react well to just removing them from the humid environment cold turkey, I ended up having to put most of them back in to prevent them from going into too much shock.
I have a two step process - a rooting box and a "growing up" box for ones I've potted up but are still delicate. I keep it less humid and it doesnt sit on my seed starting mat, so it's not as warm. After a month in the growing box they do better in my plant room. Some very fussy ones may need to sit next the humidifier though. Lol
I find most plants are fine cold turkey if you dont disturb the roots. Pepperomia Rosso too, try moving it from moss to soil but leaving it in the prop box for a further couple of weeks, then take it out
I am consider adding a little bit of watered down Clonex which is a hydroponic rooting hormone which is really great it gives great results in things like this and in peet pellets!
I love water propagation too, but I always have issues with my plants going from water to soil (shock stress). I bet the propagation boxes may not have so many issues since spagnom is at least some sort of substrate.
This is helpful. Just got in a baby plant that I thought was a baby bulb just starting to leaf by the description ( Colocasia Pharaohs Mask bulb with growth) and then it arrived as a chonk with a bit of roots and new growth in a marinara sauce container. Eeks!
I need to find someone selling a pink princess cutting, my 21st birthdays coming up and its my NUMBER ONE WISH LIST PLANT Im so sad i cant go look at nurseries this spring): Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!
I have seen some on Etsy but be prepared to pony up! But if it's your birthday and a big wishlist item, then go on and treat yourself! (ok I'm a bad influence).
I’m new to your content, I find you entertaining and fun to watch, I found with orchids treat them with care and all you receive is foliage, give them a hard life they will flower for ever, of course you must look after them in the non flowering period.
This is a curiosity I have had for a while. When you have a longer cutting like that brevialata and it gets roots in several spots along the stem like that, how do you pot that then? Are you laying it horizontally on the top of the soil? Maybe a video once that is ready to pot up would help me to understand.
Kyra D you can lay it horizontally on the soil, or you can actually just trim the roots from the stem section off & only plant the roots that are at the end of the plant! Hopefully that makes sense how I explained that? 😬
And thank you Jesus, I paid attention. I’ve been making mental notes this whole time as I have a compacta coming in the mail this week! When you said it doesn’t work for them, I thought noooooo!!
New viewer here, hello! 🖐 You said that this method would work well to rescue plants on the brink of death. How exactly would you do that? Would you take the plant out of its pot and soil, and then put it into the moss? Just put the whole plant in its pot into the box? I have a prayer plant that needs help and would like to do this.
To rescue a plant, you need to gently rinse away the soil and then check the roots. Trim away any rotten, dead, or sickly areas. Then gently place it in the moss, taking care to "bury" any roots or nodes. This makes a little plant ICU so it can start repairing and putting out new healthy roots.

I def need to propagate this way. My family keeps asking where all the glasses are.. 🤷🏽♀️😂

I do this, but I mix some rooting hormone into my sphagnum and I keep right next to an East Window. They get. Little direct sun in the morning. I also air it out once a week.
This video was so soothing for some reason.
I have been doing this ever since falling in love with hoya! its the best way to get roots SO FAST in moss! thanks for the extra tips!
Finally someone is telling the right length of time for the root to take.
One freaking week. Instead of just saying "a few days"
Thank you 😊
When drilling holes in plastic you dont need to put masking tape down first just heat up the drill bit ie with a lighter match and it will melt drill through easier.
I learned a great trick from IG - if you run the drill bit in REVERSE then you will cleanly melt through the plastic without any risk of cracking!
Easiest way is a soldering iron, you just plug it in and that's it, no drilling, no breaking of plastic, easiest and fastest way :)

I got some soh cuttings, put them in water and they started to rot! So I’ve now done the harli method as my last ditch effort.

I have so many HUGE GORGEOUS HEALTHY rooted plants now, it totally rehabbed them!! Thank you so much for this video/technique! Doing my second round today!
P.S. would love to show pics of the bounty, any place to post them? P.P.S. the moss is super wet and there is a lil green moss growing on some of it - do I need to pitch it and start over or discard the most part? It doesn’t smell and it obviously worked so well, I wasn’t sure.
Thank you so much!!❤️
I literally just moved a couple props I was trying in water to this after watching your video! I’m very new to houseplants and your videos are so helpful!
I love plastic bag props and I have to imagine this has to work as well as that, if not better! Definitely would love to try it someday
Thanks for this propagation method, I literally did this the same day I seen this, about two weeks ago. Today there are roots on all the Hoyas I have propagated with your method. Thank you !!!!!!
I’m one week in with my prop boxes and everything is growing so so well! Silver pothos that I’ve had a really hard time rooting in water is FLOURISHING. I will say that whenever I use mosquito bits, they make the surface of my plants moldy, and the same is happening in these prop boxes because they’re so wet. No fungus gnats, but I’m still brainstorming a solution so that I don’t have to keep cleaning mold out of my plants/prop boxes! I’m going to try replacing the sphagnum and trying without mosquito bits and take care when I open them for air.
If it can kill a whole mosquito, it can kill the protective disease suppressive bacteria that tend to survive on dry moss. Pathogens don't do so well all dried out. I use black gold seed starting mix and either use it straight. I have lots of fungus gnats in my potted veriegated pothos with rich soil and compost but none at all in my propagation setups. Hope that helps.
Either use it straight or mixed with fresh spent coffee grounds* just don't be sterile or sanitized at all In there, but still be clean and tidy lol if that makes sense. Plants have bacteria and fungi inside them anyway so sterile isn't even an option. If u have sterile media, it's a buffet for the first mould spore to float in there. U want those spores to be outnumbered and eaten by lactobacillus and b. subtilis, pseudomonas, etc.
I just water propagated for the first time, and I feel like I’m addicted already. Seeing the roots is so satisfying.
I've been doing this same idea for ages! It works SO WELL!
I put leca in the bottom, then moss, so I dont have to water as often. Mine are on my seed starting mat under my grow lights, so to reduce the mold i take the lid off and let it air out one day a week.
The only thing that works better for rooting is fish tanks. Lol
I've been doing it with old tupperware/plastic take out containers. Working good! And that's a great idea with keeping a jar of water with it for additional humidity. 🌿👍
great method! I do something similar but with water crystals. Everything roots in a week. Thanks for posting
How do you do it? Thanks!
Great video, great energy. Our world is in such a learning fog it’s nice to see some with a clear passion and drive for nature. Plants are something that can change every person on earth for the better.
I am so trying this box method! I've just started air layering and am seeing results quickly, so it would be great to give this a go as a lower maintenance way to propagate 🌿
I love your enthusiasm for propagation of plants - I just subscribed to your channel- I want to see more !!!
I'm trying this with some cuttings I've not had any luck rooting. Fingers crossed 🤞
I propagate most of my plants in coco coir in a large spinach container. I've had great success this way.
i apologize if this is a duplicate question, i did try to scroll through and read them all before commenting.
how long does the spag moss last before you should swap it out with new? i’ve ordered the stuff to make one and am just wondering how long it lasts once the prop box is made.
thanks so much!!
This is like the most ESSENTIAL question that should have been on the video but no reply. L🤣ll
I asked someone else more polite, they said 1-2 years.
I DONT RESPECT THIS CHICK ANYMORE⚡
@@HIGHER7RUTH damn over one question huh?
@@suckiiiit9368
Yeah things that mattter lolll I needed that info bad and all I see is gossip!!
Bahaha I actually wasted my money on that sphagnum Moss stuff didn’t work for me. Luckily I’m a fkn genius and I can clone anything now with tap water and my fogger. Don’t need anything else but nutrients might make my success faster.
🙃

🔥I even resurrect
✌️plants now
I love your propagation boxes, I have my own collection because of watching you.
Have you ever tried this method with a shrub, like a hydrangea? I have used the box method but always in pots of soil. Interested in your insight. Thanks.
Thank you so much Hali, I really really enjoyed watching you talk about your sphagnum moss propagation. I’ve got some cuttings in a similar box. I’m hoping to get some more plants from it. Your baby boy is so cute and adorable too, and your black Lab who was in the background. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤
This is genius! My only regret is that I watched it a day too late 😑 I went to a local flower market yesterday and saw shops selling a bagful of moss but I didn’t buy it because I was thinking that it’s too early to build a moss pole to my vining plants. Didn’t know that it can be used like this.
I have a few questions tho:
1. Will the propagations using this method adapt faster when placed in soil? (Compared to the water method)
2. I have a potted baby P. Brasil (just got it last week) and I think she’s not in her best shape so I’m thinking if I can also place her inside this without removing her from the pot or cutting it for propagation.
3. Can this method still grow leaves? I have few cuttings in water that has a shoot but it’s taking a while for it to develop.
Thank you!
I’m a plant newbie and Your videos help me to keep them alive and make more plants👍
I had never heard of this before, seems cool! I wanna try now. Your baby is so cute 🤩
very helpful! also enjoyed the guest appearance by the baby!! so cute
Finally we’ve been waitingggg!!!
Lovely video and commentary!! And don‘t worry about instructions being too vague or „pointless“, it actually does a good job of conveying the information „there‘s not much you can do wrong“. As opposed to plant videos being filled with a lot of exact data and numbers of sunlight, acidity etc that just makes me nervous because it makes me feel like I‘m handling a nuclear bomb rather than a houseplant
Would Coco Coir work instead of sphagnum moss? I already have a huge block of it and would like to use it. Thanks!
Would also like to know!
Give it a shot! I can't imagine it being a complete fail. And let us know if you do! Thanks in advance 😁.
It works .
Just make sure it is moist and not dripping wet. The roots don't get tangled as they do with spagnum .
A wild baby appears! And he is adorable! 🥰
I loved the face you made 👀 at the excitement the gnats would have for the moist soil in the box 😂😂😂
I've always loved your videos! Your videos are not "pointless"!! I learn something every time I watch you! Love this method! Great video!
I have a question about transferring from the sphagnum to soil. Do you have to get the sphagnum that has stuck to the roots off before you pot it up? If so how do you recommend doing it?
I usually just get as much off as I can without damaging the roots. If you pot it up with a bit of sphagnum still on them, that’s totally fine!
I Love the plants...BUT THAT BABY!!!! What a sweetheart! Just precious!! Xoxoxo
I’ve been so excited for this video to come out!!
I hope it's helpful!
It definitely answered my questions. Thank you!
I tried this and after just 1 week my monstera adasoni has almost a half in root!!! No rooting hormone used at all. Love this method I’m officially converted.
Your hair is so shiny and beautiful!😍
Thank you!
Like her face :P
Finally, what we’ve all been waiting for! This was my incentive to hurry up and finish my homework 🌱🌵💚
RooHue good job finishing your homework before watching this!! I put mine off. You’re an inspiration!! 💪🏻
Nina Caballero I graduated yesterday, so I had to get it done lol
Hey Harli... just wondering if you are straight up throwing mosquito bits into the box or are you soaking them and rehydrating the sphagnum with the water? 😊
This is exactly what I was wondering!
I did straight up bits in my box no harm to plants whatsoever.
Will the bits mold?
Wondering the same! And do you mist the moss at all??
A tea with the bits works better imho. I noticed mold with the bits just on top of the dirt in my potted plants.
I have rewatched this several times recently!! SO HELPFUL!! SO POSITIVE! Thank you for sharing your experience and advice! I never put Hoya in much humidity but now I have started and NEW GROWTH, WHO DIS!?
Do an Update On Spring Prop Boxes!!! Or Spring Growth!!!
LOVE THIS! Can’t wait to try
That sweet lil boy is so cute!!! I just want to give him hugs!!!
You are too cute 😂 give it direct sun but not too much keep it moist but not too much. 🙊 i totally get you and the video was not pointless ❤️
Thank you for making this video. I made one for a philodendron Melanochrysum I recently got. It had dry a$$ roots. So hope this works🤞🤞🤞
Loved this video ❤️ Do you have any strategies for “hardening off” the plants once you’re ready
to take them out? I’ve been doing this with a bunch of peperomia leaves but I found especially the peperomia Rosso don’t react well to just removing them from the humid environment cold turkey, I ended up having to put most of them back in to prevent them from going into too much shock.
I have a two step process - a rooting box and a "growing up" box for ones I've potted up but are still delicate.
I keep it less humid and it doesnt sit on my seed starting mat, so it's not as warm. After a month in the growing box they do better in my plant room. Some very fussy ones may need to sit next the humidifier though. Lol
I find most plants are fine cold turkey if you dont disturb the roots. Pepperomia Rosso too, try moving it from moss to soil but leaving it in the prop box for a further couple of weeks, then take it out
This is awesome! I'm not great at water propagating so I'm going to give this a try instead! Thanks 😁
I love to see hoyas develop roots in a week. I keep an LED on over the boxes.
Me too. I use grow lights 12h per day, rooting hormone and a big clear plastic box. It's so dark here in Finland during wintertime. 🙂
I am consider adding a little bit of watered down Clonex which is a hydroponic rooting hormone which is really great it gives great results in things like this and in peet pellets!
I love water propagation too, but I always have issues with my plants going from water to soil (shock stress). I bet the propagation boxes may not have so many issues since spagnom is at least some sort of substrate.
This is helpful. Just got in a baby plant that I thought was a baby bulb just starting to leaf by the description ( Colocasia Pharaohs Mask bulb with growth) and then it arrived as a chonk with a bit of roots and new growth in a marinara sauce container. Eeks!
I need to find someone selling a pink princess cutting, my 21st birthdays coming up and its my NUMBER ONE WISH LIST PLANT Im so sad i cant go look at nurseries this spring): Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!
Happy (coming up) 21 birthday! I hope it’s wonderful & that you’re able to find one!
I have seen some on Etsy but be prepared to pony up! But if it's your birthday and a big wishlist item, then go on and treat yourself! (ok I'm a bad influence).
Kyra D I may spoil myself a this year i mean...its 21🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😂😂 but thank you for the info i will definitely have to look there!
Alexis Cooper Thank you ill check there too!
Sammie Nolan If you join house plant hobbyist buy sell trade on Facebook, you can create a post asking who is selling PPP!! Have a happy birthday!!
I’m new to your content, I find you entertaining and fun to watch, I found with orchids treat them with care and all you receive is foliage, give them a hard life they will flower for ever, of course you must look after them in the non flowering period.
This is a curiosity I have had for a while. When you have a longer cutting like that brevialata and it gets roots in several spots along the stem like that, how do you pot that then? Are you laying it horizontally on the top of the soil? Maybe a video once that is ready to pot up would help me to understand.
Kyra D you can lay it horizontally on the soil, or you can actually just trim the roots from the stem section off & only plant the roots that are at the end of the plant! Hopefully that makes sense how I explained that? 😬
@@HarliG Aha! Okay, that does help. Thank you!
You can also snip it into multiple cuttings!
@@BeckyS Thank you!
And thank you Jesus, I paid attention. I’ve been making mental notes this whole time as I have a compacta coming in the mail this week! When you said it doesn’t work for them, I thought noooooo!!
New viewer here, hello! 🖐 You said that this method would work well to rescue plants on the brink of death. How exactly would you do that? Would you take the plant out of its pot and soil, and then put it into the moss? Just put the whole plant in its pot into the box? I have a prayer plant that needs help and would like to do this.
Does anyone know the answer to this?
I am wondering this as well
To rescue a plant, you need to gently rinse away the soil and then check the roots. Trim away any rotten, dead, or sickly areas. Then gently place it in the moss, taking care to "bury" any roots or nodes. This makes a little plant ICU so it can start repairing and putting out new healthy roots.
I made a propagation box after seeing your video and my hoya's love it! My carnosa compacta rooted in a week! 😱
WOW !!!!!
