Occasionally I've had some plants with bad attitudes that are happy rooting in the water but after planting in the soil they get all shocky and die. Finally I grew a brain and gradually add dirt to the plant's water before I made the leap into sticking it in the dirt. Made the transition like magic! Man I hate being foiled by a plant that I waited so long for or that I only have one cutting of!
A lot! For this particular method, tomatoes, chinese noodle beans, mulberry trees, figs, mint, purslane, etc all work well.
