Golden Pothos Propagation | water vs pre-rooted cutting vs liquid seaweed
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ธ.ค. 2020
- I propagate my golden pothos over 60 days. In this experiment I compare rooting in distilled water, rooting with a pre-rooted cutting, and liquid seaweed to see which one reigns supreme.
I share my findings and hopefully debunk some plant myths along the way.

I'm hoping to try this experiment with a variety of plants. Stay tuned for results from a monstera cutting.

Dad: "What?!?!"
Sometimes people lie on the internet.
One thing to note is that the cuttings are all from different parts of the plant, which can lead to different results. Sometimes, getting a long, stringy root in water might not actually be what you want as that root is a water root that is looking for something to burrow into. Pothos is very good at making water roots, which is one of the reasons it's such a good plant to use for people to soak up nitrates in aquariums
Okay.. I'm hooked. Your rooting experiments are interesting to watch
BTW.. love your videos. You clearly put a lot of work into them and you definitely seem to know your stuff.
For me it works best to break it - not cut it- above the nodium. That way, the original plant heals much faster (with cutting it was dripping water for a week. With breaking just 2 days). And then just directly dumping it into soil, but watering almost daily. Mine are then rooting much faster than having them in water before.
Thank you, thank you ! I watched a few videos where people say " cut here" within the plant and their hand in the way. Since I'm new at this, I needed clear instructions. So thank you for that and the experiment ! Great info ❤ I have rooted some arrow head cuttings and when I put them in dirt, I always use the water they were rooted in as their first watering because I believe there are hormones in the water that they are rooted in, which my mom told me. So the rooted cutting in with the new cuttings makes sense.
i asked my dad and he said it s fine - haha that part made me lol
Really great video!!
Thanks.
Hi Lee. Thanks for sharing your videos man. Excellent. I really enjoy seeing how healthy your plants are! Keep up the good work! Btw, who is the Jazz Artist playing in the background? Thanks again!
Bensound - all that
Thanks for watching such an older video. My videos have come so far 😄
@@KillThisPlant I enjoy all of your videos. I used to pride myself as having a decent green thumb...that is until I saw how huge your plants are. Thanks also for the name of the jazz artist.
Perlite is what works best for me. Fast, cheap, clean, reusable. I noticed that if I use perlite for rooting cuttings, the second time I use it they’ll root faster 🤔 maybe I’m suggested by it.
That's great. I always recommend using what works best for you. I've never quite figured out perlite for rooting 😒
💚💚
Wow, how do you muster up the patience to keep a cutting in water for over a year?!?!?!

Is it necessary to have a leaf before propagating a stem and node in soil?
why distilled water? I am new to the plant world.
You don't need to use distilled water, I just chose to use it for the sake of consistency in this experiment.
@@KillThisPlant thank you
@@nancywalton3767 tap water is generally fine depending on where you live. I usually like to have mine sit out for 24 hours (in gallon jugs) to let chlorine and other chemicals evaporate.
@@KillThisPlant Iwill give that a try,thxs
