A good way to prevent algae growth in the water is to cover the jar with aluminum foil after you start to see new root growth before your water starts to turn algae green.
I would definitely let the roots occur naturally in plain water, than by the 5-7th day add the fertilizer giving the roots a chance of growing naturally the fertilizer will add a boost, + delaying the process more will hopefully stunt the growth of the algae.
With having fish as well, I have seen pothos grow like crazy with its roots only in the fish tank. Fish water is basically a dilute fertilizer, so maybe it makes sense. Either way, I love these side by side experiments!
I would love to see a bigger test using separate elements, 1 with calcium, 1 with nitrogen, 1 with potassium, 1 phosphorus (phosphorus is the 1 i think would make more roots)
Not sure if that's possible, fertilizers are compounds so they don't change up the pH too much or become reactive to the environment. You put pure potassium on water and it'll light on fire.
@@bobrobertsNotUrBob you’re probably using potassium nitrate, which is a common fertilizer. They are talking about potassium metal, which is pure potassium. Potassium (K) will displace one of the H’s in water. Water is made of 2 H’s and an O. Water is set up like H-OH. Adding K, like KH-OH will kick out the first H. So it’s now H2 (an H from H-oh and an H from K) and KOH separately. This reaction forms hydrogen gas (the H2) and it creates a lot of energy, and it causes an explosion.
Trying this right away! I'm propagating a bunch of pothos from my workplace, they don't have leaves (its from a long vine with oly a few leaves at the end) so everythung that can help them is so appreciated!
Thank you a lot! I tried it first hand when I saw this videos about 3 weeks ago. It’s amazing. The water with fertilizer helped my cuttings spread like crazy while the ones just in water took a little longer. Fantastic work and I’m glad I found your channel 👍🏼
Great Experiment! Would love to see somehting challenging like sphagnum moss(but it would take months). I find it even more challenging than carnivorous plants because it grows slowly enough that its easy to overfertilize, but without some fertilizer it eventually turns pale, spindly and wanes away.
The Swedish Plantguys channel suggested 2 nodes for each piece - the bottom for root, and the top for the leaf. Have you ever tried this method side by side with your method? I'm wondering if they extra node is really helpful or not.
Great experiment! I think I will try this out but use an opaque container that doesn't allow light to go through. That would help with the algae growth since it needs light to survive! 🤓
Personally,the clones I have went directly into dirt,and it was premium potting mix with fertilizer added.and I have had complete success so far,with all clones surviving and producing roots.and thinking on it,only thing that I can say is the main reason this worked is those roots had like this video, nutrients to help produce roots,moisture and also the air I mentioned from the airated soil.i really think the right combination of those three things is key to cloneing plants,even if it's useing water as a medium.
I did rubber tree cutting in Miracle Grow petite watered with aspirin water just plastic wrap on pot not plant. I had 1.5 to 2 inch roots in about 7 days. But now I'm not sure what did the job because I forgot that my perlite is enriched with plant food. It was great results so I got roots. That is the fastest I ever seen! Thanks for doing what you do and sharing. Have a great weekend!
I converted/repurposed my basement bathroom to a plant nursery. The temp is set at 75 F and lighting is four100 watt equivalent LEDs over the mirror. A dilute amount of Ortho fertiliser. My results are good. Following this video I will very likely do even better.
really enjoy your propogation content!! have been doing some pothos water propogations mayself and its crazy how youve gotten new leaf growth after 15 days with the grow light (without grow lights mine have been putting out only roots for months). I'm wondering if you could do another propogation experiemnt to see if adding all purpose controlled release fertilizer (the ones that arent marketed as water soluable and come in small pellets) in water props effect the propogation process?
My mint julep cuttings were an in with maybe 3 leaves each and in a week's time, they each had 3 inch roots with HAIRS like they were getting ready for prom. Had to plant obviously.
Great experiment!!! Over lockdown I’ve got into inch plants, spiderwort and I love them. I let them grow in water then pot in soil. They grow so quick. Then I take cuttings and pop in water within days they’ve rooted!!! I’ll look into Pathos looks like a pretty plant. Pe. Loving your shirt!!! Have a fantastic weekend !🌱🌱🌱x
I do this every year with cuttings from my pothos plants and wanted to ask if it makes a difference in how many plant cuttings you place in a bottle? I have several in each jar and wonder if it would be best to limit them to 3-4 per container. Secondly, what about using a heat mat, beneath the jars, are they beneficial?
This is awesome! I saw a tiktok where someone suggested using fertiliser when propagating in water but was hesitant to give it a try... definitely will now. thanks for sharing!
I like using my fish tank water from all my aquariums to water my plants... And it makes me feel like I'm not wasting my water when I do my frequent water changes to my aquariums.
Hey buddy! Really interesting video! Have you by chance ever done investigations on the fertilizer on other plants? Seems like monstera cuttings do like a bit of Maxsea aswell! Cheers
I use kelp and humic acid. You can buy gallons for like $20-$30 on amazon. It also works as a foliage spray at 1 tablespoon per gallon rate and then misted. If you feel up to it, try kelp/water or humic acid / water to compare? Good video. Thanks
Some people grow pothos is their fishtanks with fish. I think I might take a clipping and add to mine. My sweet potatoe vine did amazing in my fishtank too
This was a really good video, however, pothos already possess a self-rooting hormone which is a reason why many people add a cutting of a pothos to propagations (speeds up the process). Could you try your method with other plants? 🤗
If your going to go to the trouble to get a nute solution to root them in,you may as well toss in an air stone to pump more o2 into the water to turbo charge those roots.i mean the whole idea is to give those plants every possible chance to propagate that we can give them.we know those roots need oxygen and an air pump and air stone is a cheap easy way to get that done,and if they got nutrients to use to grow better,then give em the air to keep up with the additional growth
I've tried this a few times but actually had poor results. It has been in small containers and I wonder if the agitation was causing issues I have to do more experiments
Algae growth is an indicator if there's too much nutrients in the water. Probably a minuscule amount of nutrient would do the job. I wonder if just adding one macro nutrient would do the job. Like just calcium nitrate. Or potassium sulphate. Probably phosphoric acid would be ideal because phosphorus is the key ingredient for root growth
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching your experiment with Pathos, it was really really interesting and informative too. And when I do my cuttings I’m going to use treated tap water. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Diluted my liquid fertilizer just for fun, then popped a Sansevieria cutting in it and it started rooting after about a week. My cutting had been sitting in water for about 4+ months so I decided to add fertilizer and it did the job
Nice video as always. Great video quality and great sound and great story telling :) However imo more interesting would be if you added a test scenario where you use a common fertilizer. I live in Germany. Maxsea is sadly nit available here :(
I will try something like that, it should still work with always error on the safe side and dilute it a lot and keep increasing it on each attempt until it seems to have a negative reaction
Should have measured the lengths of the new vine growth and root growth of each and made a chart to see the difference it looks like there is a difference but it didn’t seem that much I might do this experiment and chart the data
I believe this could be from nutrient toxicity which could have caused the plants to stress out, sending out excess growth hormones and other biological signals that could affect their structure and coloration.
interesting. when i did a no light experiment my plants put out a ton of new growths so i can see this being the case. I wonder if it has long term effects to cause some temporary stress to get a boost in growth
Super interesting! Does the fert have any Plant Growth Regulators in it? Was this tap water or bottled/distilled? I've always heard nitrogen inhibits rooting. And it looks like no water changes throughout?
Excellent, however you have to do the test more than one time to be sure. I have had good growth with just water and pathos actually growing in the water. The question with pothos is it really worth it because they are fairly easy to propagate. Clearly it seems to help.
I am a new subscriber and I am so glad that I did you are teaching me so much about Pothos I bought a manjula and it was real bushy now it seemed like I'm losing some leaves but looking at your video I can propagate it with fertilizer do I have to use the one you have and thank you so much for for sharing
I would love to see something like this with other plants as well, not sure if they would all be taking it as well as pothos. I'm currently trying to root a rather old part of my M. Adansonii, as it was such a nice long vine, but the bottom was quite naked. But I'm still waiting for some roots, maybe they were just too old and try. Not sure whether I shouldtry some diluted fertilizer.
Doesn't max sea have kelp in it? Kelp is used a natural rooting hormone. It would be interesting to see this experiment with a fertilizer that doesn't have kelp.
Great video, I'll also request as others here to see a comparison of rooting in water vs rooting in soil. Also I'm curious on how the cuttings are growing now that they are potted up. Slow or fast? Looking full or not etc.
I've tried adding weak amounts of fertiliser to water for cuttings and have had no luck. My guess is the added salts from the fertiliser kill the cutting. I have tried mineral rocks as well and they also weren't beneficial.

It will shock thr plant a little but it shouldn't kill it. I've broken off lots of roots before and they have been fine. However, your giant plant may suffer cuz it doesn't have enough roots to support it so maybe just get a bigger container
Mine start to rot as soon as the 4th day, even tho I change water every other day, i put them in well lighted place, they get at least 15 hours a day but still rot
the main leaf can turn yellow and eventually it will just fall off because it is no longer needed, you can chop it if you want but i like to wait until it falls off cuz the base comes off with it so no rotting material is left behind. But if you chop it the base part of the leave will rot and could cause issues
don't pick your belly button ,just plant the pothos cutting's straight in its final pot and make sure soil does not dry out or direct sunlight for 3-5 weeks, it never failed by me
That's a big difference between straight water and fertilized water. I'm nervous about adding fertilizer because I'm afraid of burning the roots, but maybe just diluting it more is the answer. Also, I've been told that if you root a pothos plant in with your other plant cuttings, that the pothos will actually secrete a hormone into the water that boosts root growth on the other cuttings. Have you tried this before? Currently I have a pothos cutting in with a monstera cutting and it seems to be rooting fast -- but I don't have a control monstera to compare to lol
That seems counter intuitive to how most plants work. If their roots produce any hormones the purpose is to suppress competition. In fact their growth tips produce a hormone that stops side shoots from forming down the vine. The proto growth tips are always there in the node, but are not allowed to develop unless the main tip is lost or is so far down the line that the hormone disipates.
I work at a nursery and tend to think of myself as pretty knowledgeable about both house and landscaping plants, but I'm constantly learning something new from your videos. Absolutely great channel! Thanks!

The best water fertilizer to use is aquarium water. The fish poop works wonders.
