Best Way To Propagate Stem Cuttings In Water

❤

i use my aquarium. works great

What's the best way to transfer these cuttings that have grown in water into a pot or straight into the garden?

Straight to the point! I appreciate you! Tap water it is!

Nice experiment! Thank you!!!

How about rain water?

this may be because the absence of nutrients make the roots grow more to "search" for nutrients.

There's a conspiracy theory here somewhere

I’m experimenting with using an air stone to oxygenate the water to promote root growth and creep the water healthy

😢 I just used clonex for my first cuttings. Oh no!!!! Maybe I should wash them off and replace the water? Is it too late?

I've grown lots of cuttings by using tap water and a CAP full (about the size of a screw top on a soda bottle) of hydrogen peroxide 3% volume in a jam jar full of water. Another term for hydrogen peroxide is oxygenated water, this powers up the water with oxygen that the plant uses to grow roots. It also helps keep the water clean. Once a week, tip the water out, flush the jar, and repeat with clean water and another cap full. Worth a go!

Maybe the chlorine in the tap water kills the harmful bacteria that would inhibit root growth. I am experimenting with all kinds of plants/flowers both annuals and perennials, and finding out that there are more plants than we know that can get roots by just placing them in plain water. Once they have roots I transplant them into a pot, and a couple of weeks later I plant them in the soil. Thank You.

Hi
My name is safe(From the countries of the East, the country of Iraq)
Can a plant survive in water without root rot?
I am facing a problem when I transfer the plant from the water to the soil
weaken and die
But when I keep it in water it keeps growing!!! ?
What is the explanation for this strange situation!.?

This is very informative and to the point. Thank you!

I’ve tested propagations a few ways… what seems to work for me is dipping the end in clonex and letting the plant sit out with it for about 10-15mins. Then put it in water. 12 hours/24 hours later I dump the purple water out and put it back in regular water. It gives the plant time to absorb the growth hormones enough but without burning the cutting from the harshness of the clonex.

I just soak my cuttings in tap water in a clear glass jar for a few days and then stick them in a pot in potting soil. Before placing them in the jars of water, I remove all growth from the bottom 2 to 4 nodes. I keep the pots in a shaded area and water daily. The humidity helps the roots grow. If you give them a tug and there's resistance, there are roots.

It might take longer for some plants, but I'm not always ready to plant the things I'm rooting right away anyway. I've had pretty good luck with this method.

I've found that the technique that works best varies by species. Soaking tomatoes will only increase your mortality. Simply sticking them in potting mix and watering gets me 100% success unless I try to root something ridiculously large. Peppers, on the other hand, benefit from presoaking and dipping in hormones. I'm sure if you did the same experiment with different species, you'd get very different results with some of them.

How often did you change your water? Would you recommend a bubbler for oxygen?

hello, i did a maple cutting in water the cutting managed to grow new leaves and then later on the leaves start to droop and then it starts to wilt and curl...then it never rooted and died later, some of the maple cuttings had rot at the end of cuttings and others didn't not sure why this is happening i place them directly on my window ledge for some good sunlight can you please help kind of depressing to see all of them die. thanks.

Super informative!! Thank you!!

Nice work 👌👏👏👏

Storks that start in water tend to adapt to water and can reject the soil when potting. It's not often but does lower the success rate. I put them in pots every time keeping the soil wet until rooted. Anyone wanting to stick to water can add a little soil to the water to help prevent stem from converting to water.

What is this plant called?

I love ‘David Verity’ 💚

Odd, could this be why my plants take forever to root in my aquarium put puts out roots in a week when left in tap water next to a window?

Great video. Such useful information. I thought that adding nutrition to the water might help, but your video's making me to just stick on regular tap water. Thank you for sharing

Thank you for this experiment. I’m trying to root Cape Honeysuckle.

I'm propagating in water and some stem are rotting at the ends, how can I avoid this, I change the water regularly? Thank you.

Most interesting experiment. I have been think about the same...whether growth hormone does any good as an additive in water. Thank you.

interesting. i had plants rooting well in 2 separate cups of water. i added some rooting powder to one cup, and the next day the roots in that cup started to brown and wither in parts, when i was expecting them to grow like crazy. strange.

I recently did similar experiment with basil cuttings. A few in tap water and a few in compost tea. TW rooted at day 6, CT took longer, day 9. By day 14, CT roots were about 3 times fuller and longer than TW.

With your next experiment try the cutting with clonex in soil ! None of the rooting hormone powders and gels have worked for me :(

Good video 👍

This is so interesting to me. I am wondering if the results would be different using an aeroponic rooter.

I guess I will have to do some experiments myself.

I have a Clone King, and use it for different flowers, shrubs, and house plants. I put some rooting hormone in the water and things don't seem to be rooting very quickly.

What is the name of this plant? I am not familiar with it here in my zone 7 area.

I use regular water always give me results
