Rooting Hormone For Propagation, Does It Work?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 дек 2020
- Does rooting hormone actually work? Yeah it does, but it has other effects I didn't expect. It looks like rooting hormone causes propagation cuttings to focus solely on rooting but slow down on new plant growth.

Your dedication to the channel is very evident. Your videos take months to make, not just a few hours.
I appreciate that! thats my goal!
Pothos actually creates its own rooting hormone that is more effective in water! Sticking pothos into a propagation jar can speed up root growth for all plants in the jar. Rooting hormone is best used in soil, to help adapt the roots to soil.
ill ahve to try that!
So would it be smart to make a solution with rooting hormone and water, and use that to soak my Sphagnum moss in my propagation container?
@@VinylUnboxings I'd like to know this too. Guess I'll just try it some time.
I would totally love experiments on co-propagating different plants with pothos
Well done. I commend you on your approach, and your frequent updates. Time lapse approach is outstanding. Thank you.
great video. concise. informative. and no useless filler. i subscribed! looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Honestly bro you know everything I've been watching plant vlogs for years and just found you and your the best by far no messing around straight to the point perfect
Im still learning a lot too, but as i learn new things I usually have a video to show how i figured it out! Thanks for watching!
Could you repeat this experiment using the rooting hormone in soil? If you place the cuttings between two panes of glass with about an inch or so between them you should be able to see the root development.
sure!
Do you have this video now sir?
@@shielao.1990 wondering if you have the video too :-)
@@TechplantChannel is there a video ?
Great video! I got distracted by the rooting hormone growth as all I could see at 1:40 was Pikachu! lol
lmaoo
I saw it ! Haha I had to go back and look really hard, but it’s definitely Pikachu 😆
I follow you for a while now and have to say you're one of the most exciting "plant youtubers" because of things like this. You go out of your way, out of your comfort zone and try and learn new things - not just show us your plant collection the 100th time or give basic care tips!
I bought a monstera varigata cutting early this year and it doesn't do anything besides some roots! I tried everything; greenhouse, grow lights, soil, moss, perlite, keiki paste, cut it's leaf (now it's a wet stick), cut its roots - nothing BUT it's still alive and is now generating new roots. I feel a bit like you and hopefully I can share my knowledge sometime in the future as well. Great work!
Appreciate the kind words! I hope your wet stick puts out some new growth soon! keep us updated!
Thank you so much for taking the time to go through these experiences that take weeks! Super informative! :D
thanks for taking the time to watch it!
just noticed you almost have 100k subs... im so proud of you
Thank you!! its because of long time viewers like you, thank you so much for all the support!!
I absolutely love your videos! They are so insightful and fun to watch! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!
Thank you! As always very interesting and useful, your videos are my favorite ones out of all the plant youtubers i follow. Simply because I feel like i learn more from your experiments than from someone just telling me what works and what doesnt
yeah thats why im doing most of these experiments. I hear tons of advice but never know what actually works!
Whenever I see these pothos videos, it gives me hope that I can help bring the pothos I have had in my life since I can remember back to good health.
Thanks, you've shown the process which saving me doing it. ❤
Nice One 🖖🏽
Dope experiment. Will definitely dust my cuttings before putting them in water. Thank you for your time!
Love your dedication, man
thank you so much!
Nice to meet another plant lover. Thanks for sharing.🌲🎄
Thanks for visiting and watching!
Your dedication shines totally outstanding
thanks!
Thank you for making these videos, they're really informative
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing… love this video… helped me a lot
Awesome! The exact info I needed.
Perfect!
Great video. Very informative as usual. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. And please keep us up-to-date on how they grow in the soil.. you’re videos are awesome keep up the good work👍
Thank you! Will do!
@@TechplantChannel yay!
@@TechplantChanneldid you do a follow up video of the soil??
I'd love to see what happens to these in the future! TY for this video! I've wondered if it made a difference and I'm totally ordering some and using it when I try and prop my more expensive plants.
yeah I think the biggest plus is you get like 5 or 6 roots instead of one single fragile one!
Love these types of videos. Passive hydro vs water might be interesting for comparison. I know some prefer to use passive hydro as a rooting method
Great suggestion!
This was so helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great demonstration thanks
Great video! Very interesting. I'd love to see more of this done with different plants maybe?
Will do!
I didn't even know that was a thing, awesome video :)
yeah its pretty cool!
Thanks for the video. Very interesting to see the comparison.
Thanks for watching!
Your experiments are amazing . Thank you! I see how fast pothos takes to root and then I try agloanema and it's taking over 2 months and I only see a tiny root bump . I never thought to try rooting hormone in water propagation. I'm definitely going to try this . Yay! 😀
Good Luck
New sub here! It takes dedication to make videos of plants and I have nothing but respect for that as a fellow green thumb! 👌🏻
Thanks!
Wow! Cool experiment! Thank you for the interesting videos!
Thank you! Cheers!
Love this experiment
Subscribed. I like what you are doing.
Great experiment!
I ask this question on the light testing video and now I remember I watched this one already so yes that easy available hormone did work
The major ingredient of rooting hormone is disinfectant . I figure that the secret ingredient.
wow! I didn't know you could use this with cuttings placed in water! thx!
It does get a little funky but it seems to work
Stellar! Thank you 😊
As always, learned a lot from this!
Thanks for watching!
As always thanks for abother great video.
Thanks for watching!
Cool very interesting observations
Thanks for watching!
Do you have any videos on whether or not there’s a good way to allow vines that had cuttings taken from them to grow a new leaf faster? I find the callouses the cuts leave make it difficult for a new vine to pop out, or is there no way around that but to wait? Loving your videos keep it up 👏
Wow I’ve had a pothos root cutting from a friend for about 3 weeks and only has 3 roots on it and there not as long as yours and I noticed that you never changed there water and everything I’ve read says to change it every week but I’m excited to try to use the roofing powder on my water propagations!!!
Great video. I've played with rooting hormone on viney plants this Winter quite a bit. I would suggest one - changing the water about every three days to get a better result (you can go a week). The other thing is that you don't need that much rooting hormone when submerging in water. A dash of it directly in the water usually produced a better effect than over-saturating them; no need to replace the hormone when you change the water if you just add water. Again, great video.
Great suggest, bc i had try it before with my Mints (by alot experiments😂😂)
Awesome video. This is exactly what happens with my cuttings. I use rooting hormone if I want my cuttings to focus on good root development and not new leaves🤗
yeah i think thats what ill do too
Techplant oh my gosh😱🤩 you saw my comment. Love your vids. I think it’s because I like all of you experiments with finishing results
I noticed that you did not change the water. I thought that you were suppose to change the water periodically. Good video. I think I will get me some root hormone.
Can't wait to see which one grows better!
same here
Love your videos ! I have heard that Pothos cuttings promote growth in other plantswhen put together in water to root. Could you experiment on that ?
Every one of your videos gets a like from me! Found myself looking forward to your videos!
Awesome, thank you!
Awesome thanks a bunch really like ur videos. i would like to propagate my pothos in the future.
Go for it!
Thanks for sharing your very informative vedio on propagation new subscribers watching from California
Thanks for watching!
Nice experiment ! 🍻
Thank you
Never been so early on a video! Thanks for the comparison.. I rarely put rooting hormone because I forget and am lazy, so I'll just stick with straight up water.
Thanks for watching, yeah its a personal preference
Nice .tips.thank you .happy holiday
Thank you! You too!
Thank for detail clearly
Thanks for watching
Very interesting!
Thanks for watching
Excellent experiment. I was wondering the same thing! Thank you for sharing :) I have a question: I don't plan on potting my pothos. I usually just keep them in water for years. So in that case, do I need that many roots?
thanks again for a great video
Thanks for watching!
You are awesome! 😎
Thanks! Thanks for watching!
I’d love to see you try different types of rooting hormone and Keiki paste!
Agreed! Thanks techplant
i think my replies got deleted, i will try
This was such an informative video, thank you. I had one doubt, how often did you change the water in both the methods? If we change the water often do we loose the rooting powder? Sorry if i sound stupid just a newbie.
Would like updates on the soil growth, please! Great video 💚
Will do!
So super fun!
It really is!
Cool video! Thanks. How about an update for the terraplanter alternative video. Any problems you would share and how we can fix them? Or was it a complete success? Would love to see it.
yeah there are lots of problems! i will make one soon!
New subscriber here! Love your videos
Thanks for subbing! Thanks for watching!
I had the same film issue when I tried powder rooting hormone in water, although I mixed it into the water instead of keeping it bunched on the plant itself. I would end up running the plant under water to clean it and put it in fresh water after a while since I was worried about the plant dying (which did happen sometimes when I didn't switch the water out). Your experiment was good. I liked the look of the roots that didn't have the hormones based on coloring. The rooting hormone roots were more numerous, but looked more fragile in the end.
yeah it does clump up i wonder if there is a gel kind maybe
@@TechplantChannel clonex gel is what I have. Purple and the adult greens farm I worked at used it to clone the cuttings and worked really well for that plant.
Please show how you shoot your videos. White background and bright lighting makes insane effect!
I will try and make a video about my setup!
Thanks a lot for spending so much effort on this video. I wonder if the rooting hormone might works better for plants that take longer to root, like sansevierias?
I would think so, but i have not tried. I will try those next
Again thank you for making such an amazing video, to echo another commenter (and my past comments) your videos take so much dedication and its really apparent, thank you! Do you think the effect of the rooting hormone would have a different effect in different substrates like sphagnum moss or leca? I think ill definitely have to try it on leca now that I know its fine to have rooting hormone in the water?
(Also did the stickers from you giveaway ever send?)
yes, if you didnt get one ill send it again!
@@TechplantChannel Thanks!!!
I was going to try this- I just took cuttings a few days ago!
Good luck!
@@TechplantChannel i forgot to say after the video, I won’t try this but is it a good idea to put 20-20-20 fertilizer in the water of my propagating leaves? (It’s 100% water soluble)
Pothos plants, which is what you are using, already make a root growth hormone on their own. As a matter of fact I use the water from them on other plants successfully 👍
Nice upload
Thank you so much 🙂
probably the fastest ive ever clicked subscribe in 15 years of using this site lol
awesome! Thanks for the support, i hope you continue to like the future vids!
Love how patient you are with your experiments, my clay videos take time too and the painting with coffee ones too... i get impatience sometimes because i have 3 kids and i have no office, so getting things out and back where they belong takes time and i get frustrated... anyway, thins makes it seem like a walk in the park for me, so thanks! And btw, if you have any experiements in leca share on insta if you can, like the sneak peek... hehehhe thanks and till next time! 😁👍🏻🌱
Hey I know the feeling! my filming stuff is sorta like that, constantly moving it around and putting things away. and getting footage makes a simple task take twice a long! good luck with your videos! even though its tough there are people out there who appreciate them!
I love how your videos are straight to the point and packed with relevant information. I don't have a lot of time to spend watching utube, so watching a 6-7 minute video is ideal for me, and with your videos I tend to get all the info I need. Thank you and happy growing! 🙂👍🌱
Thank you! Happy growing to you as well!
I have rooting hormone and I've never used it, because on the back it says ''dip it in and put it in soil'' and I never put fresh propagations in soil, but now that I've seen your viedeo I may try it in water. Thank you for your video.
nice! good luck!
Would be nice to have the update link somewhere on the soil part of the experiment!
wondering if conifers react to RH the same way. juniper and black pine for bonsai . maple and azalea for flowering bonsai
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
wow I would love to see the outcome after you potted them
Great video, what is the ingredients of the rooting powder?
An experiment with water props and air stones would be cool. Maybe a fish tank water one. Maybe a mash up of using a bunch of techniques in one experiment to which combined techniques work best.
I have one with an air stone that i did!
Hello and thank you for your videos. How about using clonex and keiki paste
Great suggestion!
Is that the true crime "LIFE INSURANCE DANCE" song at the end?
I'd like to see this with some woodier and harder to root plants. I wasn't expecting to see so much difference. I've tried rooting hormone on my African Violets and found that the ones with hormone went squishy and rotted where as the ones without did well. I also found that same thing with pothos. I was doing soil rooting rather then water so that might have made a difference.
i can try and get some more woody plants
Hey! Plant update. I have frustrating news (my stupidity) I bought succulent mix a while ago. I then used it for my pothos propagation because I didn’t remember is was for cacti... I have been stunting my poor pothos’s growth for so long. It could’ve been a long large thriving vine by now but at least it shows that this one’s a hardy plant! (Og cuttings). I found this out by wanting to buy more of that soil but now I know not to make the same mistake again!
dang! Im glad you figured it out before it died tho! yeah they are pretty sturdy
Nice
I love that video. I know now that hormone works.
yeah i was surprised to see the results!
Interesting experiment! would you recomend to use the rooting hormoneand place cuttings in water before planting in soil? This is my first time in your channel, tia.
if you have a lot of experience propagating stuff in soil then sure right into the dirt, but the water is a pretty easy way to root plants without worrying about rotting as much
ty
Did you change water inbetween or used same water since day one?
Would love you to do an experiment with superthrive. To demystify if it actually makes a difference!
Ill have to buy some!
@@TechplantChannel thank you! Many of the YT videos don’t have great editing and are testing on veggies. Would be great to test on different types of house plants. I and many houseplant owners use it but I can’t definitively says it does anything 🤔
Do you change the water at all during the 10 days?
Hi dude.. did u reapply rooting harmone during every water change ?
love it
Thanks for watching!
Great video! I do wonder if rooting hormone can accelerate the rooting of sansevieria (snake plants) but this experiment will definitely take long time.
Interesting! I will try it
Nice experiment.
I messed up and just added a teaspoon of rooting hormone to the water. Ill see what happpens either way
Hello. Could you link the result after you transferred them into the soil? Thank you!
So what's best, especially with roses & currants?
