How funny, I JUST got done watching the video in which you took these clippings. Glad I don’t have to wait for an update!
Ya, great timing! Hope you liked the videos.
Thanks for a thorough explanation of what and how you propagate hoyas. It addressed many questions I had, including re-use, opening and closing, acclamation to soil. Also wanted to say, thanks for keeping this chill and now “hyped” with over enthusiasm etc.
Thanks Jugtree! I like to keep my videos entertaining (not over the top) and informative. I hope you join the channel for more videos!
Best Perlite propagation video that I’ve seen thus far, and I’ve watched quite a few! Thank you!
Thanks so much! So glad you liked it!
Excellent information in this video. It answered a question I had after watching another video, plus more very helpful information. I'm very new to taking care of a hoya and needing to propograte. Pretty sure I've GOT this now! Thanx so very much!
Rewatching this video so I can set up a perlite prop box. Great video Jeff!
Thanks Maureen!
Great video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it! It's an older one now
Thank you so much for the info. You answered all my questions.🌱😀
Great to hear! I hope to cover all the main issues with perlite prop boxes.
Oh my this was so helpful and you covered everything thank you!!
Awesome and thanks for watching Elizabeth!
Thanks for making this video! Couldn’t find a detailed video anywhere else!
Glad it was helpful!
Ive had great success with perlite as well. Love your vids. Thank you for sharing. I need to find me a grey tray like yours. Seems really helpful.
Ya, I always hate running to the sink so this was a nice solution to that problem lol I bought it at Canadian TIre, but I haven't seen it there recently.
Thanks ! Will do tried it ..watching from Canada. 🇨🇦
Hello Condeza...from Saskatchewan!
hey jeff! happy thanksgiving! as always, great information!
Thanks Marnie! Canadian Thanksgiving was actually a few weeks ago, but Happy Thanksgiving to all my USA 🇺🇸 plant friends!
Great update! Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Good method for wetting the perlite. Thanks!
You're welcome!
I am so excited to do this! It's definitely a learning process. Thank you for sharing your experience through these videos!
Good luck Nina!!!
Thank you SO much for this video! I have been wanting to make a perlite prop box after seeing how successful your cuttings are, but I had no idea how to go about it. Thanks again!!
Send me the results when you get around to making your prop box!
Thank you I’ve just learned how to propagate my Hoya , Jennifer Downunder
Good luck Jennifer!
Very clear and instructive video. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Great video!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Oscar is the cutest,glad he had a cameo! Good video! Got some philodendron Brazil in perlite now,first time. Will see how it goes.
Good luck!! Keep me posted.
I made a prop box using perlite after your first two videos recommending it. Although I normally use water for rooting, the prop box successfully got some of my hoya and tradescantia cuttings to root! It's a fun alternative rooting method to water, especially when I plan to pop the rooted cuttings in with the mother plant. Thanks for continuing to update your community on how your own prop box is doing. 👍
Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you for the tutorial. I've just been wanting to try this & didn't know how.
You’re welcome 😊and good luck!!!
Yay...I'm finally feeling a lil more comfortable about using perlite. I really don't propagate because I dislike s.moss so much. Love your videos. Thank you for being so informative!!!!
Thanks for watching. I hope perlite works for you whenever you decide to give it a try.
I tried the perlite and had good success. Thanks to you
Great to hear!
What amazing results with the perlite. I am going to have to try that method. I would love that whole box of Hoyas😁
Thanks Maureen!!!
Such a great instructor. I like that you use common objects as tools: pencil, cookie sheet, etc.
Thanks Kathleen ✏️
I’ve never tried perlite on Hoyas. Will have to do that next time. Thanks for the tips.
It works so well!
I do propagate many different kinds of plants in perlite with great success. Your hoyas are doing great job ! 😊
Thanks Grace!
I put mine in glass jar with perlite. A little water. Roots wonderful alocasia Polly in it. And a few others. Keep up the good work. I need to see more videos. Lol
Thanks so much Susie!
@@EverythingPlants ok. Because of I am doing propagation box. Only 3 cuttings so far. But mine are baby plants. Well at least the ones I want to propagate. Lol. Please do more videos. I need one on string of hearts
I'm new to propagating in any medium besides water but definitely trying this! Sphagnum makes me a bit nervous because I never know how moist it has to stay and I also worry about mold 🤣 thank you so much!
Good luck and keep me posted! For sphagnum moss you soak the moss then squeeze out the water...that's how wet they should stay.
I haven’t yet tried perlite for propagation but I think I might give it a try.
It is awesome and I find much easier to transition into soil.
Thank you. I am going to try this method with different cuttings. I would love to try & propagate a string of hearts, turtles, pearls & dolphins. Wish me luck! 😊
Good luck Momma Ramirez!!!
OK... I NEED To Be Pulling Out My Bag Of Perlite Today!!! All The Plantlets Looked SO Pretty And Healthy... The Polyneura Were Flipping Their Tails At ME!!! I Gotta Go Look At Some Prices On Them TODAY!!! See YOU Next Video E.P.!!!
Hey, good luck. This is such a fun method of propagating plants.
I've noticed my water props sometimes have trouble transitioning from water to soil even when I keep them moist. Ill try perlite. Thanks!
Let me know how it goes for you next time you transition into soil. Thanks for watching!
I've been using soil for Hoya cuttings.
My success is great, thanks
That is so great to hear Doreen!
It’s amount of moisture in the perlite that makes the difference. I’ve good luck rooting the Golden Godess, in a plastic cup an spag moss. I cut 1 in by almost 1/4 in holes in two sides of the cup an keep it damp. Hope you try this an hope it works for you. 😀💚
Ya and the humidity in the box.
@@EverythingPlants Actually, I’ve rooted the GG just out in the room an not in a box. Water, humidity too me is same thing, both wet.
Omg what is that heart shaped leaf with silver spots 😍😍😍
Hoya parasitica heartleaf
@@EverythingPlants thank you I heard you mentioning it in the video but I was so excited that I asked before finishing the video ☺️
Question: have you ever put a small humidifier meter in the box to see what it’s actually sitting at out of curiosity?
Great video too thanks. I have a 1020 container and vented lid with wet sticks in them and was told to keep it at 70%.
The only time I get condensation is when it sits at 90% plus and I started getting a little rot on one cutting. Even while opening every day to let more air in (even though there’s vents). So now I leave the box partially open to sit at 70ish always.
So I was just really curious to see what your sealed containers sit at without causing rot. Looks like it would be 100% plus??
Thanks 😊
That's actually a good question and now I'm curious. I will stick it in the box and check it out!
The humidity is 92%
@@EverythingPlants interesting, thanks for checking 😊
Nice video! Do you use this perlite box for Hoya propagation in both the Winter and Summer?
Yes I do! I use this box year round!
Have you ever tried to root monstera adansonii, scindapsus or Philadendron Brazil in perlite? I usually water propagate. I have a few plants that need to be cut back and would like to try this method.
Yes I have...scindapsus take so long in water, but once they got placed in perlite it got roots within 2 weeks. The brazil and adansonii would have no issues in the perlite either.
@@EverythingPlants Thank you! I'll give it it shot.
💚🌿🍀
Thanks Sylvia!
Great video!
Do you think string of turtles would do well in a perlite prop box?
I have only did it with soil, but I definitely think it should be good.
First
Should be a plant prize for this...lol
💚💚
Thanks again! Do you watch every single video of mine???
@@EverythingPlants yes!
@@kendravoracek3636 Wow! Thanks!
You said it needs a sunny window. Do you mean direct sunny window? Thank you for your video.
Mine gets a small little sliver of direct light throughout the day, but that just risks algae. Just place it a bright area and see how it does. Near a window is fine, but it doesn't have to be on a sill or anything like that. Even near a grow light will be perfect.
Is it a problem if the leaves touch the perlite with this method? Want to prevent leaf rot!
I "try" to not let them touch the perlite, but thats almost impossible. Where I really try to prevent contact is with the sides of the container as there is always condensation on the sides.
My perlite has green growing on it, but they are rooting. Is that OK?
Just a little algae...shouldn't harm it at all (I think lol)
Did you put water in the box with the perlite?
Hey Wendy. I do soak it but then drain it so there is no water pooling....the details are in the video lol
If u have a Hoya leaf with thrips damage can u safely keep it somehow? I had thrips on a plant, never saw any bugs just the damage and leaves coming out distorted. I'm so sad any advice cut all the leaves and keep the roots?
There is damage on the hoya leaves too? Distorted leaves can be from lower humidity....I would isolate it and treat it with a spray (multiple treatments over a few weeks) or use a systemic pesticide if you have it.
@@EverythingPlants thank you I have done that but I didn't know if I should cut off the leaves because thrips lay eggs in the leaves? I almost don't want to keep it at all because it scares me that they will rehatch
@@roxywade4581 it may but unless the plant is like 5 dollars then I just repeat the treatment and just keep an eye on it.....but it's up to you obviously if you keep it or not
@@EverythingPlants thank you
I also find my Hoyas easy to prop in perlite. I still use moss for wet sticks though.
My hoya wet sticks are growing in perlite
Is algae a problem?
Hey Jerry. Personally I have not had an issue with algae at all with my prop boxes, but I have had it with small cuttings in perlite. I have also had a few comments from others saying they got an algae issue. If that happens I would place it in a bit of lower light or even try covering the sides
Do you have a problem with algae?
Never with my prop boxes...
all mine rotted within a week
Did you have standing water at the bottom?
