    Fascinating! I was expecting the moss to do better. I'm interested in a follow-up on all of these once they're moved to their permanent substrate. I wonder if the moss props might catch up with the water props once the water props are in soil and need to build more complex root systems.

      @davidwido1135 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Great video! I’d also like to see how the react when potting in substrate. Do you water propagated plants have a pause in growth as the switch to taking in moisture. Different way?

    Hi there! I've been doing water propagating for fifty+ years. My personal favorite. Although, I've used perlite and sphagnum moss also. Definitely depends on the plant and root system. Interesting video, to see the results together. Loved it!

  • @jessicamatheneyfineart
    @jessicamatheneyfineart 2 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    Awesome to see this experiment! I prefer water only propagation, it's given me a 99% success rate, plus I love that using pothos helps stimulate other plant cuttings to root as well. I throw a lot of different types of plant cuttings in large mason jars together. When I tried soil propagating pothos before, I had a 50% success rate, won't do that again haha!

    • @av4144
      @av4144 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      does putting pothos really help stimulate rooting? i’ve heard that before but i’ve never heard that explained!

  • @The_Black_Truth
    @The_Black_Truth 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've Been Propping Multiple Ways Too...By Soil...Perlite...Water And Sphagnum. TODAY, I Am Celebrating The Successful Prop To Pots Of My 2 Painted Lady Cuttings I Got Back In November. I Rooted Them In Water Until February Because Their Leaves Were Quite Large And I Was Afraid I Would Lose Them Using Anything Else. BOTH Are Producing New Leaves!!! 🥳🥳🥳

  • @cathlohrentz
    @cathlohrentz 2 ปีที่แล้ว +45

    Wow this was great! I would love to see a comparison for other plant families like hoya, monstera, philodendron, begonia etc 🌻🤓
    And like someone else mentioned, it would be really interesting to see how they different prop methods take to soil when they’re potted up!

      All the ones you mentioned I am growing in water. Took them out of soil and moss because they were rotting and dying.

  • @catherinestugmyer4449
    @catherinestugmyer4449 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    I usually exclusively use water. I’ve tried sphagnum, but I think I tend to keep mine too wet. I do use soil for a few things, but water wins for me most times 💚

  • @bethanynapier9407
    @bethanynapier9407 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Nothing I love more than a good time-lapse video where I don't have to wait to see the results! Also really loved your side by side, mulit-view comparisons. Next prop video suggestion - air layering 😁

  • @ansands1
    @ansands1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +40

    Very well done experiment! I am a retired science teacher so I really appreciated how you controlled the variables so you, and us, could evaluate the results. I was not surprised by the results either. I would be interested in which permanent substrate would be best from here. Super fun video, Harli! I appreciate your time and effort.

  • @sunflowerhill4349
    @sunflowerhill4349 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Really interesting experiment, thank you! I actually learned the moss prop box technique from one of your older videos and that was a 100% game changer for me! I've never had much luck with water, and way too many failures with soil to persist with that, so the moss prop boxes have changed my world lol, with outdoor hardwood cuttings as well as indoor plants!
    I do think it needs the enclosed box humidity though.
    I also think a massive downside with water prop (apart from it not working very well for me!) is that you then just get water roots, which then have to adapt to soil / substrate and the transplant shock of that can set them right back. Super interesting video though thanks for taking the time to do that!

  • @devilmecare

    I've always propagated in water. Never in wet soggy soil. Just started in moss. They've done great.

  • @dena9968
    @dena9968 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I’m so glad you did this. It shows the realness of propagation. I think so many times the plant community doesn’t shine light on problems that can be encountered….even with something as simple as propagating.

  • @nokiddingbrainless
    @nokiddingbrainless 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    This is such a great video! I would love to see more experiments like this. Also feeling very validated as someone who swears by water prop hahaha! I only use sphagnum for wet sticks, peperomia leaf cuttings, etc (aka things that have a hard time standing up in water). Another perk of water prop for me is that you can often catch issues early and remedy them. I've had cuttings start to rot in water, but mostly been able to save them by trimming the rot, rinsing the cutting, letting it dry and popping it back into clean water. I've also never had an issue acclimating the water props to soil once the roots are well-established, sometimes they slow down for a bit, but they always bounce back!

  • @nataliaH28
    @nataliaH28 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    What a great video! I love that you took cuttings from different plants. I've seen these types of videos, but they nearly always took just pothos for the experiment. Thank you for taking the time! 💜

  • @wanderingwanda6090

    This was fascinating seeing side by side. I do a lot of my propagations in water but I do have a bunch of alocasia corms at the moment rooting in perlite which is also showing a lot of success and last week I did my own little experiment with peperomia, perlite, soil and water so we'll see. Thanks for putting in the work for this! Your propagations always fascinate me.

  • @asadventuresnstuff326

  • @gabrielleakers7540
    @gabrielleakers7540 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I liked this!! I’d love to see an experiment where you look at water props vs. water props with nutrients/liquidirt or superthrive or something like that. Just to see the real difference it makes.

    This is so interesting, thanks for doing this! I've been wanting to chop up my peperomia entirely to propagate for a fuller plant, but I was nervous since I haven't propagated peps before. This helped me decide to do it in moss!

  • @laurenjohnson5880
    @laurenjohnson5880 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes I love this type of video! I get disappointed when I watch a propagation video that only shows you how to set it up and then never shows the "after" footage, so I totally appreciate the time you put into this, thank you!

  • @amysuewest3826

  • @lizabelle98
    @lizabelle98 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Before I watch it, I’m going to say it depends on the plant. I find my pothos do much better in water propagation. I found my Hoya to do better in sphagnum moss.
    Great experiment to try! Can’t wait to see the results.

    My whole life I’ve seen my mom just plunk any clipping/cutting she would find or get into a glass of water. EVERY PLANT EVER.
    It’s just been over the last 15 years when I became a plant mom that I learned different plants need different things to grow. I’ve tried to tell her. Lol- she said “leave me alone- it works” lol!!

    @fitvegancatmama 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This was fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to do the progress updates. I really enjoy videos that do it this way. Very rewarding as a viewer. I like old school water prop vs anything else. I rarely stick anything straight into dirt. I find, and you confirmed, that it is the slowest way to get roots and often leads to rot. I like moss for very specific things like single leaf peperomia props or chonk props. I also use moss when I've tried water with no results. I find making that switch after a month or two in water will active the props.

    @Swann88 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    For context i live in northern england, but everything i put in water rots, and moss works for me everything has roots started within a week/ 10 days so crazy to see the difference! I would say the biggest difference between what you’ve done and my method is that i use tiny plastic shot glasses rather than cups, and i pack moss in there and keep in a big prop box, this works really well for me rather than bigger cups! ☺️

    100% Sphagnam moss! Thats the only way I prop. I have came up with a special mixture of nutes to add to my prop mix as well as exact lighting and temp and I often get roots starting to pop out as little as 3 DAYS!! I am documenting the whole process, the results have been SPECTACULAR!!! ANyway love your videos!
