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.
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.
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
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!
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🤗
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.
I was wondering about this and now I know. Thank you. I wouldn’t worry about the new leaves to come. At this stage all you want is rootmass! So succesfull experiment! 👍
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.
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.
@@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.
Hi! Any updates on how the plants are doing in soil? Is there a difference in the quality of plant growth between those rooted in water and those you used rooting hormones on?
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.
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! 😀
I give all my aroids/tropical plants light while propagating its all artificial but its very strong. sun would be good but make sure its not getting hot and drying out fast if that makes sense
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 👍
Interesting experiment, does it say which hormones are exactly in this mixture? I use for some of my seeds (Byblis e.g.) GA3 for germination which works mostly fine. But this isnt a rooting hormone I guess...
How to propagate succulents the best? Should I put them in a cup just above water or with the tip of the plant in water or just on top of soil? Seems like a long as heck process. Kinda was hoping to see some growth after 2 weeks
So could it be the type of rooting hormones? Or do all rooting hormones do this? I've never messed with them or propagation before and wanted to start.
Question please, when the nodes are in water, do you expose the nodes to light or no? My cuttings are in water with indirect light but no roots. Should I cover them in another pot?
all my propagations have been under grow lights, direct sun might increase algae but its not a bad thing unless the algae dies, where it then starts consuming oxygen as the bacteria eat it
Does anyone know if you can add rooting hormone to cuttings if they’ve already been in water for say...4 weeks? At what point can you no longer add it to the cuttings? I’m not sure if it would burn them at a certain point or something 🤔😓
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 👏
@@TechplantChannel As a general rule of thumb, changing the water prevents root rot, and adds new oxygen to the water, as such meaning it dosen't go stale and the roots thrive. Including changng water provides the plant with nutrients from the water, while keeping it in old/stale water means that the waters nutrient worth has already been extracted and then further stunts root growth.
@@TechplantChannel Please see Appolonia's response below. Perhaps the experiment should be repeated with water changes to see if more vine growth occurs. Thanks.
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.
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.
Once the root starts to show..how long should you wait to plant? I repotted my plant and it's been very sad I had her in water for about a month prior to planting 😓
If I change the water, should I reapply the rooting hormone? Also, is it okay to apply the rooting hormone if there's a tiny bit of root on the cutting already?
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
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.
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?
hey I think can explain your results. so rooting hormones are know as abscisic acids ASA these acids influence plant behavior in particular stress response, stoma response, pulvinus abscission and root growth. ASA can act as a limiting factor on the roots if you use too much as it can cause the plant to "stress out" too much. what the ASA does is that it guides meromictic growth and cell elongation based on how the concentration of ASA in the root tissues are distributed. so a lack of ASA will cause the roots to grow longer as the look for fresher water.
@@TechplantChannel one other tip would be, I never leave cuttings just sitting in water I always add an air pump to help add more oxygen all you need is a little baby air stone and aquarium pump. I even have an air stone in the water that i use for my house plant I find anything epithetic really benefits from getting oxygenated water. Another great benefit to putting air in your water is that is you are using tap water overtime the air will help remove the chlorine. Also consider Mycorrhizae this really helps the plants develop a hyphae on the root system which adds a huge amount of root surface area.
I'm going to try this on my Amaryllis bulbs. It's a new thing I learned abt slicing off half of the basal plate to be later rooted in damp sand. Only thing suggested was using B1 liquid to be added to the sand. However, I wonder if I just dusted my bulb base with rooting powder alone, would it give me good roots?
I’m finding now I prop my plants - I just use plain water and get new leaf growth while still in the jar, I do however want to use root hormone to speed up the process
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 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! 🙂👍🌱
Last year rooted some Vietnamese purple stemmed Basil cuttings from the supermarket with root hormone in water, this year I couldn't find the root powder and just used water for the same species cuttings, most have died, these herb cuttings definitely don't want to root without special help!
It would be cool if you did this experiment but one jar with just the same water for the whole duration of the experiment, and one where you change the water out every few days. I always see people saying to change it often, and other ones to just let the water be, so I wanted to see if there is a difference in growth etc :)
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.
Hello! Just wondering if you can do an experiment on different natural rooting hormones. I see people saying cinnamon, aloe vera, apple cider, and other stuff help promote root growth but I was wondering what are the different effects of each.
Have you ever experimented with willow water? Been meaning to try it, but I think you need to harvest willow cuttings during the spring/summer growing months.
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.
I usually root my cuttings in plain water or spagnam moss, but the leaves grow first, then the roots. It takes ages before I can put them in soil. Any suggestions on why this might be? Or how to encourage roots?
could just be the water, ive been receiving tons of comments over the last like 6 months about problems propagating in water. even tho most people have a similar setup the results are very different. I think it comes down to how radically different peoples tap water can be. some water sources have bleach in them, or high chlorine contents or very acidic or base and the list goes on. its hard to really know without being there and seeing it. but i would suggest trying diff water sources. maybe some bottled spring water, or filtered water, heck lots of people get good results from fish tank water! Good luck!
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!

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

Use rooting hormone on cuttings that normally DO NOT SPROUT ROOTS, and ROOTS will appear! You can reproduce plants before seeding.
Like mango cuttings ?

Guess the next step would be water, rooting powder & fertiliser. Maybe vs fishtank & whatever your preferred method is?
Great suggestion!
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
Do you change the water at all during the 10 days?
Why are you putting rooting hormone in water instead of dirt? Is it just so you can see the roots?
