OMG! It's like you read my mind. I'm literally having trouble prop. ing this one plant. I'm paranoid that they made it so it won't propagate. I'll keep trying.
making a clean cut also seems to be pretty important, I noticed a pretty big difference in the rates at which stems started to rot when I used dull kitchen scissors vs when I finally got a proper razor. Aside from the scissors probably having more bacteria and being harder to clean than a razor, it seems that messy cuts damage the stem tissue and have more surface area for bacteria to grow on.
Do not disturb cutting for atleast 2 weeks. If it is successful then you can find the sign easily i.e leaf / leaves look healthy. Too much attention to any plant lead to kill.
So glad I found your videos,you explain every thing nicely.thank you! I usually leave my succ ulents to callous over for 5 days or more,depends on the weather at the given time,the warmer it is the sooner they dry .I would like some tips on propagating mother in laws tongue,for some reason all my cuttings keep rotting or shriveling up.
Can I just say as a fellow youtuber, your end card game is incredible XD Also, your videos and brilliant and super informative, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

I have these 3 little pothos cuttings next to each other in jars of water, and while two of the cuttings have had roots for weeks, the middle one just finally sprouted one this past week. Where there's a node, there's a way lol
Awesome video Sheffield!! Loving all of your informative videos. May I ask, how long do you usually keep your grow lights on for cuttings that you’re trying to root??
I just made a perlite prop box with lots of different hoya cuttings....and I put it outside and almost all the cuttings got bleached! I was mad...but they are ok....just now not as pretty....I will let you know if they make it.....I now have them under grow lights.....yikes.....if I just had this video a few days earlier! Ha ha ha :)
@@madisontaff7379 only a few survived....mold started on the stems....and leaves rotted from the hot sun! so the ones that made it are liking it so far...under grow lights....the hot sun ruined the leaves bringing the mold to start...but now they love the humidity! And are growing...my fault for sticking the box outside in the direct sun....don't do that!
Wow, I have a bunch of cuttings hanging in my giant window that's been getting a lot of direct light. I have a raindrop peperomia that's been in root limbo for months. It has roots but hasn't really shown any more growth. I might move it to leca and put it under a grow light.
I’ve seen some people scrape the side of the stem? I’ve also seen people take a razor and cut cross hatches or X shape in the bottom tip of the stem? Can you tell me the reasoning. Is it beneficial?
I wish someone would address some of these plant yourtubers who EXCESSIVELY propagate everything. They will have a million tiny plants yet never a large, mature, thriving example of anything. Personally I have never propagated any cuttings that werent an accidental break.
angrier yourpropagation idea where you cut at leaf bottom stem. I took the group cuttings together in a small opening in the top of my beta fish tank. They started rooting in a week, Iwas shocked but great up, placed in a nw window avoiding sun
Depends on the plant and how much light and humidity they get. Ficus can take ages, like a couple of months. Tradescantia takes a few days. Lots of plants a couple of weeks though
Hi, I've been the whole evening watching your videos and with this one I have a question. I heard of using cinnamon as protection while propagating. It's supposed to put a little of powder on the cut and put it into soil or perlite, specially with succulents because as you said in the video, almost always you need to have a callus to put it on soil. I don't know if this actually works, it may be acting as the antifungi powder. Have you, or anyone, ever heard about this?
I have a philodendron lemon lime that had a stem get cut of by accident. The cutting has scabbed over and it’s been in a dish with water for at least two months with no root growth. Given we were in winter so maybe just not enough light?
@@SheffieldMadePlants I don't have a glow light but have it placed on a table right next to a window that faces the sun (not direct sun) coming in to spring now so maybe i can get more light.
Hello! My question that know one will answer is, Why does a succulent plant just start to go soft . I have had this problem. I have rerooted. I would love to know why.? this happens to a established plant.
Hi, Does the perlite box also work for leaf cuttings? I tried with soil and covering the box and I ended up with little mushrooms growing in the soil. I'm trying different methods to see which is the most effective

Thank you for your video you are so educational I never thought cutting a leaf would make it grow more but it actually does thank you
You bet!

Haha like it!
Thank you!! This is an amazing video. I'm new to collecting plants and this is the most helpful video I've ever seen on propagation.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow thank you very much!
I learned a lot from you. I discovered your channel not long ago and I really like them.
Glad you like them! Thanks
As always, your video is 💯!!
Thank you very much 🙌

Second time watching. There is lots of great advice, I had to refresh. Love and Peace.
Awesome video Sheffield!! Loving all of your informative videos. May I ask, how long do you usually keep your grow lights on for cuttings that you’re trying to root??

Great video. First video like this I have seen. Thanks
Thanks Joanna!
Glad I found all your videos. Very helpful. Would you also comment on the best method to propagate the Calethea family of plants?
The best way is by division. Not sure if you can propagate the leaves
Great video very informative. My grand would pull up her African Violet cutting (leaves) to see if they have grown yet. 😊
Cheers!
@@SheffieldMadePlants oops. My grandmother would do that.
I just made a perlite prop box with lots of different hoya cuttings....and I put it outside and almost all the cuttings got bleached!

I did the same with a prop box and they over heated. Yep let me know how they get on
How are they doing?

Pruning a plant makes it bushy 🤦🏼♂️
@@SheffieldMadePlants lol you know what I mean 😆
Is cold water better than lukewarm water to start your cuttings
My hunch is room temperature is best
How many hours do you keep the grow lights on for cuttings? Thanks!
12
Oh my gosh WHY are the grow light bulbs over $100 US each?! Anyone has tips/knowledge regarding a cheaper brand?
angrier yourpropagation idea where you cut at leaf bottom stem. I took the group cuttings together in a small opening in the top of my beta fish tank. They started rooting in a week, Iwas shocked but great up, placed in a nw window avoiding sun
That's a great idea!
Nice video. How long does it usually take a cutting tp start growing roots?
Depends on the plant and how much light and humidity they get. Ficus can take ages, like a couple of months. Tradescantia takes a few days. Lots of plants a couple of weeks though
Hi, I've been the whole evening watching your videos and with this one I have a question. I heard of using cinnamon as protection while propagating.
It's supposed to put a little of powder on the cut and put it into soil or perlite, specially with succulents because as you said in the video, almost always you need to have a callus to put it on soil. I don't know if this actually works, it may be acting as the antifungi powder.
Have you, or anyone, ever heard about this?
Yes cinnamon can be used as an alternative to rooting hormone. Protects the cutting so the natural rooting enzymes can do their work.
Thank you so much 😄🥰
I have a philodendron lemon lime that had a stem get cut of by accident. The cutting has scabbed over and it’s been in a dish with water for at least two months with no root growth. Given we were in winter so maybe just not enough light?
Yes it sounds like a lack of light. Where is it placed? Do you have a grow light?
@@SheffieldMadePlants I don't have a glow light but have it placed on a table right next to a window that faces the sun (not direct sun) coming in to spring now so maybe i can get more light.
@@michaelprice3040 you should see growth in spring. Good luck 🤞
I have a feeling they don’t like to get a scab before rooting. It is usually cactus and succulents that like to callus, hope this helps!
@@mayadasilva5952 good info I’ll give another try, my cat ate the first cutting :(.
Is heat lamps, grow light?
No they're different
Do you put holes in the bottom of the tote with your perlite?
Nope just in a box with no holes. Keep the perlite moist but you don’t want the water to pool at the bottom
Hello! My question that know one will answer is, Why does a succulent plant just start to go soft . I have had this problem. I have rerooted. I would love to know why.? this happens to a established plant.
I’d bet overwatering.
@6:06 How does spraying perlite give it enough water? IF you close the lid does that not suffocate the plant? surely it needs open air!?
Keep the lid and open every couple of days. The high humidity is needed
@@SheffieldMadePlants thanks for replying to me. I appreciate it
Is leca better than perlite for cuttings?
Never tried it but think it works well
Yes
I don't over water I have a water meter and than I wait other day or two before I water.
Sounds good
Using sand and rooting powders hormone Ofcourse. Not just sand
Can I use sterilized coarse river sand for cutting of Ficus Elastica ?
Yea pretty much anything inert will work 👍
@@SheffieldMadePlants ❤

Hi, Does the perlite box also work for leaf cuttings? I tried with soil and covering the box and I ended up with little mushrooms growing in the soil. I'm trying different methods to see which is the most effective
Yes it does. What are you propagating?
@@SheffieldMadePlants at the moment succulents, echeveria, graptosedum and pachyveria
@@cherie7100 perlite box will work for those
