Fascinating! I was expecting the moss to do better. I'm interested in a follow-up on all of these once they're moved to their permanent substrate. I wonder if the moss props might catch up with the water props once the water props are in soil and need to build more complex root systems.
Great video! I’d also like to see how the react when potting in substrate. Do you water propagated plants have a pause in growth as the switch to taking in moisture. Different way?
Really interesting experiment, thank you! I actually learned the moss prop box technique from one of your older videos and that was a 100% game changer for me! I've never had much luck with water, and way too many failures with soil to persist with that, so the moss prop boxes have changed my world lol, with outdoor hardwood cuttings as well as indoor plants! I do think it needs the enclosed box humidity though. I also think a massive downside with water prop (apart from it not working very well for me!) is that you then just get water roots, which then have to adapt to soil / substrate and the transplant shock of that can set them right back. Super interesting video though thanks for taking the time to do that!
I have heard from several people having issues propagating that specific type of syngonium (forgot the name). Would be fun to see how they are doing transiting to soil now, especially the water compared to Moss because that's also a difficult step. Thanks for the video 🙏☺️
Came to say this also. I've read that syngonium erythrophyllum has many inactive nodes (similar to what I've heard w other finicky propagators like p. brandtianum) which makes them hard to prop esp. from a single node. Most recommend taking multi-node cuttings to help increase success rate. I found this out the hard way when I landed upon a llano cutting myself. Six months of no progress, I finally gave up 😩
I loved this. I am in the desert. I’m finding spag moss propagations work best for me with water being a very close second. This was fun to watch! Thank you for taking the time to do this. 😀
This was so amazing, loved it! I've always wanted to do this type of experiment. I'd love to see more of these vids, maybe with a few types of philos?🙂💚🌱
Hi there! I've been doing water propagating for fifty+ years. My personal favorite. Although, I've used perlite and sphagnum moss also. Definitely depends on the plant and root system. Interesting video, to see the results together. Loved it!
Awesome to see this experiment! I prefer water only propagation, it's given me a 99% success rate, plus I love that using pothos helps stimulate other plant cuttings to root as well. I throw a lot of different types of plant cuttings in large mason jars together. When I tried soil propagating pothos before, I had a 50% success rate, won't do that again haha!
I usually exclusively use water. I’ve tried sphagnum, but I think I tend to keep mine too wet. I do use soil for a few things, but water wins for me most times 💚
Wow this was great! I would love to see a comparison for other plant families like hoya, monstera, philodendron, begonia etc 🌻🤓 And like someone else mentioned, it would be really interesting to see how they different prop methods take to soil when they’re potted up!
Very well done experiment! I am a retired science teacher so I really appreciated how you controlled the variables so you, and us, could evaluate the results. I was not surprised by the results either. I would be interested in which permanent substrate would be best from here. Super fun video, Harli! I appreciate your time and effort.
What a great video! I love that you took cuttings from different plants. I've seen these types of videos, but they nearly always took just pothos for the experiment. Thank you for taking the time! 💜
Thank you for this video Harli, the timing is perfect! I have a couple of erythrophyllum that I want to propagate but I’ve heard numerous times that it is difficult to do. I do wonder how they’d do with perlite now. I might have to give it a try.
I really enjoyed this video. Id love to see more like these, or you trying plant things so we dont have to lol 😆 Personally for me I only do water prop. I tried sphagnum moss once and they all died so I'm afraid to give it another try. Great video! ♡♡
Nothing I love more than a good time-lapse video where I don't have to wait to see the results! Also really loved your side by side, mulit-view comparisons. Next prop video suggestion - air layering 😁
This is such a great video! I would love to see more experiments like this. Also feeling very validated as someone who swears by water prop hahaha! I only use sphagnum for wet sticks, peperomia leaf cuttings, etc (aka things that have a hard time standing up in water). Another perk of water prop for me is that you can often catch issues early and remedy them. I've had cuttings start to rot in water, but mostly been able to save them by trimming the rot, rinsing the cutting, letting it dry and popping it back into clean water. I've also never had an issue acclimating the water props to soil once the roots are well-established, sometimes they slow down for a bit, but they always bounce back!
I liked this!! I’d love to see an experiment where you look at water props vs. water props with nutrients/liquidirt or superthrive or something like that. Just to see the real difference it makes.
Loved this comparison and the effort!! 💪Would definitely be interested to see different plants in the same methods OR the same plants in other prop methods like perlite, vermiculite or pumice/leca maybe! I’ve been experimenting with perlite and vermiculite together and is been going surprisingly well!
Very interesting experiment, thanks a lot! I think the only difficulty with water propagation is planting into substrate eventually, that sometimes causes roots to rot.
I love this video! I'm planning to work with my 3rd grade gifted and talented kiddos on some plant experiments this year and this is definitely inspiring! any tips for doing this in a classroom? I know I'll need some lights because my room only has 1 window!
This was fascinating seeing side by side. I do a lot of my propagations in water but I do have a bunch of alocasia corms at the moment rooting in perlite which is also showing a lot of success and last week I did my own little experiment with peperomia, perlite, soil and water so we'll see. Thanks for putting in the work for this! Your propagations always fascinate me.
I've always water propagated until this winter when I tried perlite propagating boxes. In perlite, I'm usually able to pot up in 3 weeks and they have a higher success than water propagation when moving to soil. I haven't tried moss, so I'd be curious to see a side by side comparison between moss & perlite prop boxes. Great video.
Defo enjoyed this! I'm always unsure which medium to use and I guess water is still the best 😊 I'd love to see how other plants fare out in this competition!
I think it was definitely worth it! You did the work for us and now we know ☺ I tried the sphagnum moss and I think I put too much water and it got mushy. I prefer water alone because I can actually see the progress. Thank you for the video!
This is so interesting, thanks for doing this! I've been wanting to chop up my peperomia entirely to propagate for a fuller plant, but I was nervous since I haven't propagated peps before. This helped me decide to do it in moss!
This was so cool! I would love as many of these videos as you want to make! It would be fascinating to see comparisons of all different styles of plant care for different props and mature plants too. You have a wide variety of plants and a great setup so it seems like a perfect opportunity to show a wide variety of comparisons!
Harli, I know how much time and effort you put into this one. Thank you for it!!! My favorite propagation method bounces back and forth between perlite and water.. depending on the plant. The only reason it’s not sphagnum is because I don’t like the feeling of touching it 🤣
Enjoyed searching your experiment Harli! Thanks for all the effort! I really don't like spagnum moss because I really hate picking it off afterwards. I tend to do water, perlite, or leca propagation depending on the type of plant. 🌱
I've Been Propping Multiple Ways Too...By Soil...Perlite...Water And Sphagnum. TODAY, I Am Celebrating The Successful Prop To Pots Of My 2 Painted Lady Cuttings I Got Back In November. I Rooted Them In Water Until February Because Their Leaves Were Quite Large And I Was Afraid I Would Lose Them Using Anything Else. BOTH Are Producing New Leaves!!! 🥳🥳🥳
Before I watch it, I’m going to say it depends on the plant. I find my pothos do much better in water propagation. I found my Hoya to do better in sphagnum moss. Great experiment to try! Can’t wait to see the results.
What an awesome experiment! It reminds me of my kid’s science experiment. I love how you explained all the detail as well as the results. Great visual!!!
I’m so glad you did this. It shows the realness of propagation. I think so many times the plant community doesn’t shine light on problems that can be encountered….even with something as simple as propagating.
I also find that erythrophyllum to be the slowest to stabilise when propagated of all syngoniums.. and I was just wondering if there's water in the soil tray..? Probably that was the reason why so many of them rotted earlier..? Or maybe soil propagation needs better air circulation compared to water/sphagnum..? I wonder if nurseries use soil propagation in certain and fixed conditions / settings ... just thinking out loud
I appreciate all the time & effort you put into this Harli, I love your RUclips channel, one of my favorites. I thought this experiment was very insightful, water propagation is my favorite. Thankyou for all your hard work for the plant community, very much appreciated. Charlene, New York
This felt like I was in science class all over again and I LOVED it. This feels like a great video model for you. Excited to see if you do more experiments 🤓
I loved this video !!! I'm a propagating fool. It really trips my trigger when I get roots on a cutting. I have done exactly what you did for your experiment. What I found was that all plants don't neccesarily like to be propagated the same way. Some like water Some like dirt Some like moss. Once I figure that out I'm good. Thanks Again !!! I'm looking forward to the next video
I absolutely love this very scientifical 👩🏾🔬 approach 😂 “cluster view” is my favorite But a seriously useful experiment as we go into chopping 🔪🙈 season
I absolutely love videos like this - I appreciate them extra cause I can only imagine how difficult it is to keep track of the videos and which order and … all the things. Thanks Harli ♥️♥️
I absolutely love this experiment. I’m definitely team sphagnum moss but I often find myself water propagating from time to time. I love this content. I would like to see more of these videos. Great job.
100% Sphagnam moss! Thats the only way I prop. I have came up with a special mixture of nutes to add to my prop mix as well as exact lighting and temp and I often get roots starting to pop out as little as 3 DAYS!! I am documenting the whole process, the results have been SPECTACULAR!!! ANyway love your videos!
This was fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to do the progress updates. I really enjoy videos that do it this way. Very rewarding as a viewer. I like old school water prop vs anything else. I rarely stick anything straight into dirt. I find, and you confirmed, that it is the slowest way to get roots and often leads to rot. I like moss for very specific things like single leaf peperomia props or chonk props. I also use moss when I've tried water with no results. I find making that switch after a month or two in water will active the props.
I have 2 pep props. Took a single leaf only, cut in half down middle, stuck in sphagnum. They both grew tiny plants! Just dnt kno how to replant. Lol. Also put single stem w/leaf in water. Has roots PLUS a tiny plant IN the water! Definately dnt kno how to replant that. Any tips wud be awesome on wat to do. Or even direct towards a specific video. Lol. Also.....loved this video! ❤️❤️
My whole life I’ve seen my mom just plunk any clipping/cutting she would find or get into a glass of water. EVERY PLANT EVER. It’s just been over the last 15 years when I became a plant mom that I learned different plants need different things to grow. I’ve tried to tell her. Lol- she said “leave me alone- it works” lol!!
I love experiments like this. We all want our plants to grow as best as they can, and there's a lot of misinformation out there. Thank you for the accurate information!
I LOVE this! I can tell you put a lot of work into this video and it was extremely helpful. I'm very interested in learning more about propagating And what kind of plants work best to propagate with. So thank you, I really enjoyed this video...and your great personality😊
Great stuff! Think ima buy some Spag moss and conduct my own experiment! Been struggling a bit with finer root systems so I’m excited to maybe crack the code! Thanks Harli! 🙃🙏
Wonderful video and execution! I am getting a cutting of a rare plant that I really like soon and I doing all the research I can to minimise the chances of failure are much as possible and your video helped A LOT! Thank you!
spagnum moss and water props will probably be the best result i'd guess based on my own results at home and from what i've seen in your previous videos.
Sphag. Every time. No matter where I keep them (right in front of window or FEET back. With heat mat/ without. In cups/containers both. I only had a mold problem once with a box I forgot about after moving, other than that it’s been seamlesssssss
Personally, I go spag or water. Tried my first soil prop and haven’t opened the rooting chamber yet to check… I’m scared lol. But no leaves have started yellowing yet! So I’m hoping they’re taking ☺️ I think water or spag would be fastest, imo but let’s seeee
I personally love both water and mos propagation. With mos i usually just propagate node cutting. I find they grow best. If i want to keep the foliage i find water works best.
Enjoyed this 3-way comparison. I prefer water propagation myself but thought, like others, that the moss would be better. Well, it seems to be better for peperomia.
harli please please PLEASE consider doing a video on grow lights!!! I bought some but i realized i have ZERO clue how they work and the information i can find on youtube that is intriguing at all to me is so super confusing and doesnt help at all! Please help!!
I usually use water. I tried my first prop box with moss in December. Its now March and half of my cuttings still don't have roots..not sure what happened there.
I did this with Philodendron Brazil, it is so interesting. But my absolute favourite is pure pumice for rooting and as growing substrate just adding ca 20% bentonite clay.
Ah thanks harli! So glad I haven't listened to others who tell me soil is great, I'll stick with water 😅 Perlite was the only method I was hoping to see that wasnt here, so curious how it works compared to these! 😆
Personally I find the most success with Perlite typically, although I am getting better at sphagnum. I think the sphagnum moss will be your most successful in this experiment
Fascinating! I was expecting the moss to do better. I'm interested in a follow-up on all of these once they're moved to their permanent substrate. I wonder if the moss props might catch up with the water props once the water props are in soil and need to build more complex root systems.

I literally was just looking for a video on moss propagating vs water vs soil and this was perfect!
I loved it and you did an amazing job!
Syngonium Erythrophyllum I’ve heard is next to impossible to root seeing your results give me confidence it is possible with the right conditions!
I liked this video MUCHO! It was so exciting!!
Learned something new. Thanks.
I've heard llano carti roads are the least easy to prop of the syngoniums so could be why
This was so amazing, loved it! I've always wanted to do this type of experiment. I'd love to see more of these vids, maybe with a few types of philos?🙂💚🌱
Are you going to plant the pothos cuttings? I have some myself but I don't really know when to plant them.
Hi Harli. In my prop box I lay a bed of spag into which i put my cuttings. How long does spag last before it needs to be replaced
Do you pot up the peperomia in the moss? Does it stay too moist when added to soil?
Hi there! I've been doing water propagating for fifty+ years. My personal favorite. Although, I've used perlite and sphagnum moss also. Definitely depends on the plant and root system. Interesting video, to see the results together. Loved it!

does putting pothos really help stimulate rooting? i’ve heard that before but i’ve never heard that explained!
I usually exclusively use water. I’ve tried sphagnum, but I think I tend to keep mine too wet. I do use soil for a few things, but water wins for me most times 💚
🤣💖🥴🌻I fight with this all the time , lol my fave is water because I like to watch the progress 🌹🌱🪴☺️
Wow this was great! I would love to see a comparison for other plant families like hoya, monstera, philodendron, begonia etc 🌻🤓
And like someone else mentioned, it would be really interesting to see how they different prop methods take to soil when they’re potted up!
Yessss !!!
All the ones you mentioned I am growing in water. Took them out of soil and moss because they were rotting and dying.
Very well done experiment! I am a retired science teacher so I really appreciated how you controlled the variables so you, and us, could evaluate the results. I was not surprised by the results either. I would be interested in which permanent substrate would be best from here. Super fun video, Harli! I appreciate your time and effort.

try perlite, better water prop
@@Richard-fi3rz thank you. I will try that. I'll look more into it :)

Oh I love nerdy experiments like this! Honestly surprised the moss didn't completely outperform the others
I think the moss was too wet.
I liked this!! I’d love to see an experiment where you look at water props vs. water props with nutrients/liquidirt or superthrive or something like that. Just to see the real difference it makes.
I second, third and fourth this idea!!!
Agreed!!!
Loved this comparison and the effort!! 💪Would definitely be interested to see different plants in the same methods OR the same plants in other prop methods like perlite, vermiculite or pumice/leca maybe!
I’ve been experimenting with perlite and vermiculite together and is been going surprisingly well!
Very interesting experiment, thanks a lot! I think the only difficulty with water propagation is planting into substrate eventually, that sometimes causes roots to rot.
Not plant related, duno if someone already said it, but you kind of look like Haley Dasovich (travel vlogger). You also talk and sound the same! 😜
I love this video! I'm planning to work with my 3rd grade gifted and talented kiddos on some plant experiments this year and this is definitely inspiring! any tips for doing this in a classroom? I know I'll need some lights because my room only has 1 window!

I'm glad laziness pays off with always propagating in water lol. great video!!
I think it was definitely worth it! You did the work for us and now we know ☺ I tried the sphagnum moss and I think I put too much water and it got mushy. I prefer water alone because I can actually see the progress. Thank you for the video!

❤️❤️ I was JUST searching for this! PERFECT timing!
I propagate in water. Then get side tracked and 2 years later they are still growing in water 🤣
Harli, I know how much time and effort you put into this one. Thank you for it!!!
My favorite propagation method bounces back and forth between perlite and water.. depending on the plant.
The only reason it’s not sphagnum is because I don’t like the feeling of touching it 🤣
This was fun to watch. I never considered rooting in sphagnum until recently, so seeing this demo was really interesting.
Enjoyed searching your experiment Harli! Thanks for all the effort! I really don't like spagnum moss because I really hate picking it off afterwards. I tend to do water, perlite, or leca propagation depending on the type of plant. 🌱

Great experiment to try! Can’t wait to see the results.
Literally playing your videos out loud at work ... I work at a plant boutique/shop, so it's fitting 😅🥰
How do they propagate were you work?
What an awesome experiment! It reminds me of my kid’s science experiment. I love how you explained all the detail as well as the results. Great visual!!!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO! This is fascinating and something I’ve always wondered about! Thanks for taking the time to experiment for us! ❤️
For me personally water works best for me but I want to try moss like you do
Loved this video! Would love to see this done again with different semi-hydroponic substrates!
I’m so glad you did this. It shows the realness of propagation. I think so many times the plant community doesn’t shine light on problems that can be encountered….even with something as simple as propagating.
I almost use exclusively water.
This is so cool to see !! Thank you for this experiment and the effort put in this video 😍😍 ♥️
I really love to propagate..🌱🌿
I enjoy watching it grow,and the fact that you can create new life ..is sooo super cool!🌱🌿
Great video friend💖💕⚘💖💕⚘💖

I've always propagated in water. Never in wet soggy soil. Just started in moss. They've done great.
This felt like I was in science class all over again and I LOVED it. This feels like a great video model for you. Excited to see if you do more experiments 🤓

But a seriously useful experiment as we go into chopping 🔪🙈 season
I want you to do monstera Albo, mint, Aurea experiment in the 3 substrates!!! There’s so many conflicting things online,
I absolutely love videos like this - I appreciate them extra cause I can only imagine how difficult it is to keep track of the videos and which order and … all the things. Thanks Harli ♥️♥️
Experiencing regret as I put like 15 monstera cuttings in soil this morning before I watched this 😢
I absolutely love this experiment. I’m definitely team sphagnum moss but I often find myself water propagating from time to time.
I love this content. I would like to see more of these videos. Great job.
I LOVED this content!! Please follow-up again! Very interested.
I really enjoy your channel! Blessings to you and yours!
Great video! Thanks!
Learned much from this video! Great timeline on progress...thanks so much!
100% Sphagnam moss! Thats the only way I prop.

I’ve used soil , water, leca, perlite,vermiculite,coco choir spaghnum moss amd coco peat my fav is spagh or just chunky soil ~for propagation***
My whole life I’ve seen my mom just plunk any clipping/cutting she would find or get into a glass of water. EVERY PLANT EVER.

Incredible! Wow! Loved to see the progress and the results. Thank you!
This was definitely worth “your wait” lol but thank you so much! The experiment was very organized as well!
spagnum moss and water props will probably be the best result i'd guess based on my own results at home and from what i've seen in your previous videos.

Great educational video!! I’m practically a beginner with lots of failures under my belt. This has been a great help.
Yaaay I’ve been looking forward to this since you teased it a few videos ago! Very excited to watch!!! (After this 5 minute add lmao)
Personally, I go spag or water. Tried my first soil prop and haven’t opened the rooting chamber yet to check… I’m scared lol. But no leaves have started yellowing yet! So I’m hoping they’re taking ☺️ I think water or spag would be fastest, imo but let’s seeee
Awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to do this experiment. Really enjoyed it. I knew water would win. I live water prop!
I wonder if the sphagnum usually does better because usually it's done in an extremely high humidity environment (tub).
I personally love both water and mos propagation. With mos i usually just propagate node cutting. I find they grow best. If i want to keep the foliage i find water works best.
I’m so excited your finally releasing this video. You said like last year you were doing an experiment with substrate. I’m thinking water is faster.
Enjoyed this 3-way comparison. I prefer water propagation myself but thought, like others, that the moss would be better. Well, it seems to be better for peperomia.
harli please please PLEASE consider doing a video on grow lights!!! I bought some but i realized i have ZERO clue how they work and the information i can find on youtube that is intriguing at all to me is so super confusing and doesnt help at all! Please help!!
I usually use water. I tried my first prop box with moss in December. Its now March and half of my cuttings still don't have roots..not sure what happened there.
I did this with Philodendron Brazil, it is so interesting. But my absolute favourite is pure pumice for rooting and as growing substrate just adding ca 20% bentonite clay.
Definitely a good video, I've always used water, but have used perlite for some. Guess it really depends on the plant also.
Ah thanks harli! So glad I haven't listened to others who tell me soil is great, I'll stick with water 😅
Perlite was the only method I was hoping to see that wasnt here, so curious how it works compared to these! 😆
Personally I find the most success with Perlite typically, although I am getting better at sphagnum. I think the sphagnum moss will be your most successful in this experiment
Could you try to propagate on Lechuza pon with or without water reservoir.? Thanks and God bless.
