    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
      @davidwido1135 Před 2 lety +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?

  • @goldieb.8013
    @goldieb.8013 Před 2 lety +4

    🤣💖🥴🌻I fight with this all the time , lol my fave is water because I like to watch the progress 🌹🌱🪴☺️

  • @angelamainini3060
    @angelamainini3060 Před 2 lety +52

    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 Před 2 lety +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 Před 2 lety +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 Před 2 lety +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 Před 2 lety +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!

    • @nessaMantha

    • @devilmecare
      @devilmecare Před 2 lety +4

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

  • @ansands1
    @ansands1 Před 2 lety +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.

  • @catherinestugmyer4449
    @catherinestugmyer4449 Před 2 lety +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 💚

  • @sunflowerhill4349
    @sunflowerhill4349 Před 2 lety +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!

  • @bethanynapier9407
    @bethanynapier9407 Před 2 lety +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 😁

  • @JustAStump
    @JustAStump Před 2 lety +2

  • @nokiddingbrainless
    @nokiddingbrainless Před 2 lety +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!

  • @devilmecare
    @devilmecare Před 22 dny

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

  • @dena9968
    @dena9968 Před 2 lety +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.

  • @nataliaH28
    @nataliaH28 Před 2 lety +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! 💜

  • @gabrielleakers7540
    @gabrielleakers7540 Před 2 lety +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.

  • @lizabelle98
    @lizabelle98 Před 2 lety +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.

  • @chloekrause5984
    @chloekrause5984 Před 2 lety

    Been binge watching YOUR videos on propagations and what nots and GIRL THESE HAVE BEEN SO HELPFUL! I used to be terrified to chop my plants up but YOU have encouraged me to JUST DO IT!!! And guess what?? New growths are incredible!
    GOTTA RISK IT FOR THE BISCUIT!

    • @HarliG
      @HarliG  Před 2 lety

  • @asadventuresnstuff326

    I like that you mentioned that top cuttings root faster. I had no idea until now. Thank You.

  • @katerinakripostna1264
    @katerinakripostna1264 Před rokem +1

    Very interesting experiment, thanks a lot! I think the only difficulty with water propagation is planting into substrate eventually, that sometimes causes roots to rot.

  • @wanderingwanda6090
    @wanderingwanda6090 Před 2 lety +4

    Great video! I have used three methods so it’s great to see them side by side.

  • @Swann88
    @Swann88 Před 2 lety

    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! ☺️

  • @GardenWitchStudio
    @GardenWitchStudio Před 2 lety +5

    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.

  • @susancurry5224
    @susancurry5224 Před 2 lety +1

    Enjoyed searching your experiment Harli! Thanks for all the effort! I really don't like spagnum moss because I really hate picking it off afterwards. I tend to do water, perlite, or leca propagation depending on the type of plant. 🌱

    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!

    Harli, I know how much time and effort you put into this one. Thank you for it!!!
    My favorite propagation method bounces back and forth between perlite and water.. depending on the plant.
    The only reason it’s not sphagnum is because I don’t like the feeling of touching it 🤣
