Summer you ask a lot of good questions of Enid. Enid is a very knowledgeable person in many fields. I have purchased some plants from her and all were top quality. Thanks for making this video, I could only give you one Thumbs Up as thats all they allow, you deserve more.
I used to make the mistake of rooting cuttings in soil. I always add drainage like pumice or perlite.. but Enid is right about soils on the market; majority are SLUDGE. Especially anything labeled as “garden soil” or “potting mix”. Straight up mud once you water it. I ended up switching my cuttings to 50/50 vermiculite/pumice! The best!! Keep it misted, won’t rot this way - and gradually increase light, nutrients and then repot. I find many plants can THRIVE in solely that mix, of vermiculite & perlite. You could add a pinch of soil or coco coir I suppose. This is also a great method (and long-term way) to grow succulents, dracaena, sansiveria, euphorbia, plumeria and many other plants that love drainage.
I have found that rooting in water is good enough to initiate root formation quickly without the need to control humidity. I then move them to a coco-perlite mix with orchid bark. I don't let the roots grow too much in the water and my mix contains coir instead of peat. Peat will degrade too quickly and becomes water-retentive and muddy.
I am now fully convinced the goddess Hegemone now has a RUclips channel! Just this week I was looking at my Luxurians saying "there's got to be a way to propagate". Thank you for all the great info Summer Rayne aka Hegemone! :)
I found this episode extremely useful and fun to watch! I've recently got the Philodendron bug, and reading / watching as much as I can. I'm especially liking the Prince of Orange types, and the Red Emerald types. Have a lot on my list too! thanks for sharing! Todd aka ToddBigeasy
I'm so happy to see you featuring Philos! That's my favorite genus. Enid is very popular on the PlanetPhilodendron FaceBook group. She mentioned adding bark to your medium. In our group most of us consider bark chips to be *Essential* for any rainforest plant's medium. It's about mimicking the natural environment. The tall trees there are always shedding bits of bark to the soil, and those Philos that sprout epiphytically are certainly clasping onto bark. My medium is 25% bark chips. A little Activated Charcoal is also helpful (_never_ the barbecue kind.) Coir is also good, perhaps better than peat for holding moisture while allowing drainage. I'll be posting this to the group immediately.
"Lumpwood" is a new term for me. The one reference I read mentioned that it is supposed to be natural, but I would still avoid anything meant for grilling. There is no gov't requirement to list fuels that may be added to grilling charcoal. Activated Charcoal chips can be found in garden centers and florist shops. It is highly pure carbon from wood with billions of tiny pores. The pores trap contaminants and toxins. Get the type with chips of about one half inch to an inch in length, not the powdered form.
Oh wow! Lots of great information!! This is one of the top ones I've watched. Top of ten for sure!! Very informative!! Making sure my plant friends get to see it!
If I may, I think I found a PERFECT site to learn tons on how to build my dream plant space! Thank you for doing such a great job for the beginners like me!
Thanks for sharing all of this great information. You asked all things that I would want to know. Enid is so knowledgeable and I truly appreciate all the tips😊👍❤.
Thank you. Trying to keep the last two leaves of my mother in law's cutleaf philodendron alive. It began to die soon after my husband died. Large floor plant with leaves 6 to 7 inches in width and maybe 8 to 10 inches long. Help!
hi summer have you heard about the new philodendron pink splash Birkin?---I bought 2 of them but don't see any info on the internet on them---just one seller in Florida taking advanced orders of $95.00 for a 4" pot . I' hoping they are not chemically induced for their color because they are beautiful !! . thanks for this video it is great !
neha nigam yes you can. Just make sure the new cutting isn’t in full sun for like a month. In general they want bright indirect light of course, but even that can burn a baby cutting! I keep my fresh cuttings in shade for a few months and slowly increase the indirect brightness
I live in Norway, quite far north, and I love plants a lot... do you have any tips for plants / keeping plants /what kind of plants for colder climates with very little sun in the winter?
Great video! I definitely want to go there if I'm ever in the US. Just a quick question, as I couldn't really see in the video. Did the plants have any aerial roots before they were cut? Or can you just cut the stem as in the video and they just develop new root growth?
Thank you for your channel and all of the knowledge you share! I really love your gardening overalls and would like to get a pair myself. Can you tell me where to find some?
Summer, the soil type for propagation makes sense. But do you prefer the similar kind of soil mix once the cutting is rooted and you are moving it to a bigger pot? In general, what kind of soil mixture do you prefer for philos?
Hi summer! LUV her plants...you were so close on getting that potting soil mix formula lol..I was like finally a start to finish mix 😂.almost. will you be doing an episode on making mixes for cactus and all other plants mixes lol... I totally get messed up 🤗
Oh man. I was hoping this would have more about water propagation for philodendrons 😥 I just ordered a very expensive Rhaphidophora tetrasperma mini monstera philodendron ginny cutting in my sleep & woke up to an eBay alert "You've won!" 😓
if you cut a part of, from a philo like this or for example p. erubescens, is there the chance it brances to two axes on the motherplant? (sry for bad english)
Hi Summer, love your videos, I received flowers for Mother’s Day and there is a une leave resembling a monstera deliciasa. Do you think I could grow roots from the leave
I let my new plants acclimate for 2 weeks unless they're soaking wet when I get them. Lowe's uses water wicks to saturate plants. But I have a question on repotting, should you remove the old soil down to bare roots before repotting? I use coco coir, worm castings, perlite and orchid bark for a good drainage mixture. Do I fertilize right after or wait? Is fish emmulsion enough? I found liquid worm castings at Wegmans that says to use after watering. Is fish emmulsion and worm castings considered fertilizer,?
Bare roots is not necessary unless the roots look very compacted. Another reason people bare root is because of pesticides which could affect beneficial bacteria and fungi in soil. Summer often keeps the root ball intact if not root bound. There is also something to be said about incorporating some of the old soil when repotting to retain the beneficial bacterias the plant is accustomed to. I believe using liquid fertilizer (fish emulsion) immediately after transplanting caused me to lose plants in the past. Liquid fertilizers whether organic or not is an immediate release formula and if the roots have been heavily disturbed or the plant is sensitive the fertilizer will burn the roots (I usually wait 2 weeks after transplant to be safe). However, well cured compost, worm castings, bone meal and other dry fertilizers do not burn roots as they are slow release. A fertilizer I always incorporate into my potting mix and garden is the slow release fertilizer Dr.Earth Organic (An all in one fertilizer that comes with beneficial microbes as well as many trace minerals and nutrients that help to establishing a healthy microbiome. This microbiome can also help plants adapt better to stresses such as transplanting.) There are other organic dry/slow-release fertilizers that will do the same thing like the Espoma Organic line Summer uses. By the way it sounds like you have a very high quality potting mix and the fish emulsion would definitely be enough to fertilize as worm castings and the good aeration will establish a healthy microbiome. However if you run out of your fish emulsion you could try one of the Neptune's Harvest fish emulsions with added nutrients like seaweed (I use the tomato, veg as an all purpose)
Summer, a few questions since I just started :) With regards to potting mix, I currently used a mixture of Coco Coir 50%, 40% Perlite and 10% Organic Compost. Do you think that is good enough?. I do water with fertilizer during the growing season. Lastly, whenever I buy plants from the store I automatically repot them since I'm worried they might have gnats or bugs in them. Is that a bad idea?. Again, thank you for all the informative videos. :)
I'd add orchid bark. The Better Grow bags come in different mixes, some with also chunky perlite and charcoal, or bark only. There is a Miracle Gro orchid mix which has too much peat for orchids, actually, but it is a little cheaper, you can get that and mix it with perlite. I read that vermiculite is actually not good for a mix as it tends to "caking". I believe coco coir is slightly alkaline, and peat is slightly acidic. I am wondering if it could be of concern.
Pumice is better! But even harder to find unfortunately. :-( and maybe more expensive but soo worth it. If you can order or find Dry Stall (brand) pumice, used in horse stables! Pumice is nice because it doesn’t blow around in the wind.
Summer you ask a lot of good questions of Enid. Enid is a very knowledgeable person in many fields. I have purchased some plants from her and all were top quality. Thanks for making this video, I could only give you one Thumbs Up as thats all they allow, you deserve more.
Could I know how can buy a plant from Enid?

I’m really impressed by Enid!!! I will start following her!
I really truly love Enid and her expertise
whoah, your question at 7:40 has given me an answer to a question that i've always wanted to ask
Love Enid! I bought a plant from her and they are so beautiful! She takes really good care of the plants and she package them so well!
Thanks for that video. I have a lot of philodendrons. And they’re my favorite plant.

haha. Thanks for saying so. Glad you're tuning in every week. :)
The information in this video is gold. Thank you for sharing!
just watched this and put my philodendrons scandens in soil instead of water with... 50% PERLITE
Saskia did it work I am ready to cut mine.
Yaa let us know how you went
Yeah , confirm, dead.
@@kangabamalex1271 Mine lived!!! Then the last summer of 42 degrees celcius without AC claimed it :(

another great video. would love to see a update on all your houseplants. one long video instead of breaking it up.
I'll definitely be doing another this year. 1 a year probably!

Frank Drebbin thanks for that potting mix info that's exactly what I needed to know😊
So lumpwood charcoal isn't good? Or are you talking about the barbecue charcoal that has chemicals on it?
"Lumpwood" is a new term for me. The one reference I read mentioned that it is supposed to be natural, but I would still avoid anything meant for grilling. There is no gov't requirement to list fuels that may be added to grilling charcoal.

Okay thanks! I looked the group PlanetPhilodendron up on facebook, the only one I saw was called Planet Philodendron Monstera. Is that the right one?
That's us! Welcome aboard! (The address bar shows that the original name included Anthuriums, so most such like Aroids are welcome.)
Wow very interestng topic I like this vidio thank you so much for sharing.
summer Rayne with thee Enid of NSA tropicals wowee

Wow , so beautiful. philodendron luxurians!
Thanks for sharing all of this great information. You asked all things that I would want to know. Enid is so knowledgeable and I truly appreciate all the tips😊👍❤.
when you think u know it all...🤔 thanks as always, Summer!
Can you trick a plant in the fall/winter by having lights on it after the sun goes down?
I’m so guilty of repotting my shipped plants right away! I just want to see all my plants in my space 😭
Very Informative! I love philodendrons
Wow! What beautiful philodendrons. This was very helpful. Thanks.
I tried rooting a red congo in water and failed, I own 4 varieties and still want more.
I love your videos with her!
What is the diffrence between Red Imperial and Congo Rojo. Nursery tag is tagged the former but the pot is labeled the latter.
Oh wow, I need to expand my philodendron collection! What is the dark colored one that she showed when checking the roots?
i also would like to know, i think it is a bloody mary
Thank you. Trying to keep the last two leaves of my mother in law's cutleaf philodendron alive. It began to die soon after my husband died. Large floor plant with leaves 6 to 7 inches in width and maybe 8 to 10 inches long. Help!

hi summer have you heard about the new philodendron pink splash Birkin?---I bought 2 of them but don't see any info on the internet on them---just one seller in Florida taking advanced orders of $95.00 for a 4" pot . I' hoping they are not chemically induced for their color because they are beautiful !! . thanks for this video it is great !
this video has helped me so much! thank you
Hey this is informative... Please let me know can i prune my Philodendron red empress in the same manner.... Its stem has become long & slender
neha nigam yes you can. Just make sure the new cutting isn’t in full sun for like a month. In general they want bright indirect light of course, but even that can burn a baby cutting! I keep my fresh cuttings in shade for a few months and slowly increase the indirect brightness

I see She put the cuttings straight into water..
How come she didn’t wait for the cuttings to callous over?
Perlite has been banned for sale in my area for about 3 years or even more 🤔.
I hope after the covid lockdown, you'll have an opportunity to visit Enid and do a similar propagation video on Anthuriums :)
I love ur videos
Hi summer! LUV her plants...you were so close on getting that potting soil mix formula lol..I was like finally a start to finish mix 😂.almost. will you be doing an episode on making mixes for cactus and all other plants mixes lol... I totally get messed up 🤗

What happens to the part of the mother plant where the cut happened? Do the plant stop growing from then on?
I'm looking for info on getting philodendrons to produce pups. Great video though
Thank you!
Very informative...thankyou!
I would’ve loved to know how she waters the cuttings on the soil
great. Just bought a philodendron ^_^
Hey Summer, do you know if you can propagate a philodendron hastatum from a cutting? Thanks.
I've got plants in the mail that hardly has any roots. They usually end up dying.
Hi Summer, love your videos, I received flowers for Mother’s Day and there is a une leave resembling a monstera deliciasa.
Do you think I could grow roots from the leave
I have a question do you have a variegated monstera plant and if you do where did you get it I've been trying to find me one a cutting....
tune in next week to the episode ;)
☁️🌿 To Dat: I think they both look similar in a way, except in my opinion Red is more of a vine & Congo stays very compact ?
