Thank you so much! It is so refreshing to see a ‘complete’ video. I feel like these days the videos go like ‘I tried this, come back in a few months to see the update’, which can be a bit frustrating. So I really enjoyed your format! I am trying my luck with rooting in water. No roots so far but it has only been 2 weeks… 🤞
Thank you. I take the view it's just best to give the viewers what they want, lol (although I'm still figuring that out, so thanks for the feedback!). Good luck with your attempt. Water propagation with these plants don't do well for me, but if your cuttings haven't rotted after two weeks, that's a great sign!
You can theoretically do it at any time. But it needs to be bright and warm in order to encourage and stimulate the rooting process. You'll almost certainly get more reliable results if you do it during late Spring / early Summer.
The proper advice here is that it's not ideal to disturb the rooting process, but you can if you want to. In my propagation video I remove and replant the cuttings several times a month apart and both rooted and have become established plants. (I also didn't use any rooting hormone so it can work perfectly well with it).
Hii, any idea why one of the branches of my african milk tree is wrinkling in the middle causing it to bend from the middle? other branches are doing fine as of now.. PLEASE HELP❤
Yikes. If it's bending and wrinkling, it sounds like 1) It could have rotted in that section (unusual) or 2) some sort of damage has occurred to the stem. If the damage or whatever is happening is quite extreme, anything above the wrinkling will have a limited lifespan, so you may want to remove it and propagate the upper branch. Without seeing it for myself, I can't advise further (you can upload a photo to the comment section on my blog if you want me to look at it further), but I hope that helps with what you should do next.
Great insight & examples now that I know it's a succulent! Thank so much!!

I enjoyed the follow up videos. It takes a lot of thought to make this kind of content. I respect what you do. Also your plant is absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you! Glad you could see the workings behind filming this. It was one of my first ones, certainly more time-consuming than I expected, lol.
Thank you for the great video, this is my favourite plant!
Thanks for commenting! It sure has a lot of fans. I personally like the shape and how it grows so fast when it's happy.
I did mine just before Xmas with 5 little cuttings. They were very happy and in the spring they started to grow like weeds!
Yessss! That's what I love to hear. Well done.
I propagate cuttings; leaving them to callous over at least 5 - 7 days. Root systems develop @ in 3 - 4 weeks. I live in New York
Thx for sharing; I’ve learnt something! 😊
Can you do this hroughout the year, or is there a certain period?
You can theoretically do it at any time. But it needs to be bright and warm in order to encourage and stimulate the rooting process. You'll almost certainly get more reliable results if you do it during late Spring / early Summer.
is it possible to use rooting hormone a week after putting cuttings into the soil?
