- here's another video i've wanted to put out for awhile, just had to wait for the perfect opportunity to show you some good examples! if you've been wanting to fill in a leggy plant, or are just too scared to chop a plant you've been wanting to propagate-- notching is the perfect propagation method! i wish this was talked more about in the community because i think many people think this method can only be done with trees. if you've been looking for a spring project/experiment, give this a try and let me know how it goes! ☺️

Ok I don't wanna be doom and gloom and idk if you said this and I missed it, but what are the potential downsides of notching? And/or times you wouldn't suggest doing it?
Super good question and I’m happy you asked so I can pin this comment! I would say the only downside to notching is that it does take energy away from the primary growth. So if you’ve been trying to size up a plant for example, I wouldn’t notch because then the plant is going to be splitting its energy and resources into that new growth point(s). I would say the only other downside I can think of is that there is always a risk with an open wound on the tissue of a plant (like when you chop a plant and the stem rots for example)- notching still poses the same risks in that sense which is why I wanted to put emphasis on sterilizing everything. Those are the only downsides I can think of, but otherwise I’ve really enjoyed this propagation method :)
maybe also if it doesn't have a big enough root system to sustain multiple growth points?
@@unplantparenthoodwe need an update on these notching plants.
I appreciate your sense of humor... it's really entertaining😹🪴💚
My OG monstera shows where it used to not be climbing - her spine looks worse than mine does lmao - and I have wanted to chop and prop but the sentimental value has been holding me back from trying, so this might be something to think about. I'm so sorry you get haters because your channel actually sends me on wild ADHD google rabbit holes and you've helped me understand my plants way more :) you rock don't ever change
It’s been a while since i learned something new watching planty content! Thank you for sharing this!! Gonna try this on a super leggy rhaphidophora tetrasperma I’ve been thinking of getting rid of.
So exciting:))❤
Im super leggy rhaphidophora tetrasperma... U can try it on me baby lol @Randomplantycontent
Thank you for some excellent information. As to the noise from the plants it would mess up our frequencies!! Myself I think it’s that noise (particular sound wave) that aids the plants own intervention to heal/regrow/branch out after an injury rather than the plant “sounding” when damaged.
Same thing with wild plants. They get broken, nibbled or flat out mowed down… nature takes care of herself. Though I’m not very learned in the area lol.
Girl ie, that knife and your digits had me on the edge of my seat 😂 Hope Pudge is well. I have a Pug, Mushu, and they are the best buds ❤
I was wondering about the fiddle leaf fig, good to kno👍🏼
I use a baby gum/toothbrush to clean stems and wet sticks. I’ll have to look into that👍
Would love an update to see how well it works? Would love to see the growth.
Read the same article, made me feel sad. Apparently, dogs can hear it.
Never heard of "notching", but that is why I watch your videos Teach, thank you. Btw, loving the pony tail...
💚
made my day when i opened youtube and saw u uploaded 😭
Omg!! I’m about to notch a shit ton of plants 😃
Have you considered wearing noise cancelling headphones when you film, so you would be less bothered by background noise? You've probably already considered it and there's a reason it's not practical, but I figured it's worth mentioning!
Great video! Wondering if this would also work on alocasia with long stems, since you can’t do cuttings the same way as with philodendron or anthurium for propagation?
I came back to watch this video again, because I'm considering notching one of my philodendron. I was wondering if you have updates on these plants? And in regards to your Dracaena do you eventually remove the plastic sheets or do you leave them forever?
Great video that I haven't seen done for tropicals before, only fiddle leaf
Oh I heard about this. Excited to see how it's done. Might come in handy. Do you remove the plastic after awhile or does it stay there forever?
This was a very informative video. I never heard of doing this on indoor plants until you mentioned it in a previous video. I wonder if I should do this on a Joepii or something similar? Dracena & Rubber tree are great examples too.
this is so great! ❤
Ohhh ok I'm curious to try notching now🤔
You were talking about taking you baby to the doctor and had no idea it was an animal baby until you said vet 😂. Great video though!
That was very interesting. I’ve not seen that done before.
Could you please do a video on air layering? Thanks!
How long do you leave the plastic sheets in there?
Can’t believe you messed with clari😅 you are brave
Commendable tips and techniques, thank you for sharing! Also, I swear I hear the ultrasonic squeal sometimes, might be the subconscious tho 🤔 Wishing all your plants the best growth! 💦🌱💫
You cutting the plant with the blade going towards you just gave me the most anxiety😭. Flashbacks to slicing my finger open with a box cutter at work😅
OUCH!! As clumsy as I am, I’m surprised I’ve never cut myself with an x-acto knife or a box cutter. I actually cut myself more on cardboard if I have to be honest 😆
@@unplantparenthood GOD I HATE CARDBOARD CUTS🥴😖
I always learn something from you 👍
What do you do once the plant has created a new branch? Just take the plastic out? Does the tree heal?
Once a decent size growth has emerged from it, you can remove the plastic sheet as the plant would have already calloused over the way it would like when you take a regular propagation :)
@@unplantparenthood thank you!!!
Do you ever have issues of stability after the notching process? since the stem has been cut is it more likely to snap accidentally?
Seems unlikely: plants, like people, tend to reinforce a former breakage. Snapping could however occur above or more often below an old injury, especially as stems thicken upwards and more activated nodes add weight with leaves and stems. The solution is simple: stake the plant!
When you made the first cut you can actually see 2 eyes and a nose on the stem lol right underneath the axillary bud.
Omg I didn’t even see that when I was editing 😆
Great video. Thank you. Could you name the material of that plastic?
Thanks for sharing this
Thank you for watching ♥️♥️
Hello🎉🎉🎉 happy Wednesday
Happy Wednesday liliana! ♥️
Purely out of curiosity, but have you ever tried this method on a wet stick?
I wish I watched this about 6 hours ago before I just chopped a bunch of cranky muthas
U are so cute I lived it. I no what u New lot of people don't like me I still have some ? About notching o. Where to cut .I live u u are do funny.
Oh wow I’m early I love this
Hi lily!!
@@unplantparenthood hi I love your channel so much!
Does this work the same way for woody stemmed plants like ficus alii too?
It is actually way more common in ficus plants. Just search it on youtube and you will find a lot of videos about it 😊
Will this still work without the plastic sheet? Sorry if this is a silly question lol but what is actually the purpose of the plastic sheet?
I talk about the purpose of the plastic sheet at 11:40 🖤
I should have waited to comment until I got through the video 😂 thanks girl!
Where do you get the plastic sheets
On Amazon! You can lookup ledger plastic sheets. It’s also linked in my Amazon shop in the description if you want to get the ones I have specifically.
And you don’t use keiki paste at all?
I do sometimes! But honestly I don’t find it necessary.
He's STILL SNIFFLING 😳 good lord! Poor dude
I forced him to call the doctor again today 🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃
Love this! ❤ I’m inspired to give it a try. 💚 🪴
