I Tried Water Propagation of House Plants

in HiveGarden20 days ago

It's normal practice to grow new houseplants from cuttings. I usually cut off a healthy section of a stem, then put it in a growing medium, like a growth hormone, to encourage the growth of roots and plant it straight in the ground or pot.

I had trouble propagating some of my indoor plants the usual or traditional way, so I tried water propagation!

I experimented on two Chinese Money Plant and three whatchamacallit plants.

I had them growing for four weeks or so.

I would change the water every week, and watch the roots grow. They were positioned in the dining table where there is relatively bright, but away from direct sunlight.

And when it was time (and I could attend to it), I put them in soil!

I thought to myself... "WOW! That was easy! Why don't I try other plants."

So, I picked plants I had difficulty propagating, which were practically all my indoor plants.

I could do five plants at a time, which was good,
because I hardy have time for anything!

That was two weeks ago.

Look at the plants today!

Water propagation is easy!

First, I took plant cuttings and submerged them in water. Then I waited for the roots to form before transferring them into pots. It can be satisfying and educational to observe the roots as they grow using water propagation. I found it simple to maintain the cutting's moisture content, which is advantageous for delicate cuttings.

Plants that require drier soil may not be well suited for water propagation, and some plants may be vulnerable to root rot if submerged in water for extended periods of time.

I know most of you know about water propagation and probably utilize it already. But I am new to it, and I'm pretty excited about it!

Nope, we kill pretty much every plant under our care. It's a mystery of the universe.

I've done this before and it does work really well. I expect your new babies will do very well as they all look like they've got a good root system going for them. Thanks for sharing sis! Much !LUV to you!🤗😘😍🌻💜 !LADY !INDEED !PIMP

I am new at this. It is unbelievable just how much I don't know. And I've been surrounded by plants all my life. That's what happens when my entire focus after college was my job and my first home.
Things that happened to me the last seven years, most importantly lately... I need to take it slow and easy, sleep early...

Thank You for enjoying Silver as much as I do Young Lady! @silversaver888

thats so cool and you say its easy but I think perhaps you have more of a green thumb or talent for gardening than some of us, My father was an avid and great gardener, I did pick up some traits from him but gardening was not one of them LOL

Thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk :)
Have a great day :)

You did not pick up gardening, but you are excellent in photography, @tattoodjay !
Green thumb... people say that, but I am a regular gal. Can you imagine, I just earned this water propagation lately!
I am really happy that you had the time to come here today, @tattoodjay!

Such activities are my favorite too, it has many benefits, it also makes the house beautiful and breathing is easy.

Plants are wonderful, @djbravo !
!LADY

I didn't know about this...

Actually thought being submerged under water would suffocate the roots...

Yes! And it works!!!
!LADY

It's nice to hear that all. My mother also love plants and she always just cutting the maple leaves and setting their position from 1 place to other.
I also have a indoor plant in crystal bottle it's a tiny plant commonly called money plant in my country

Plants are a joy to have, @emmyrosum !
There seem to be several plants named "money plant".
Thank you for visiting!
