5 Tips for Healthy Plant Propagation (in water) Swipe Next To See and Read the details below: 1. Do not place fresh cuttings directly into water. But allow sometime depending on the type of plant, wait to place them in water anywhere from 1 hour (tropical types) to several days (cactus and succulent types) this allows for plants to callous (healing) over after cutting them. This step will help reducing any chances of stem rotting. 2. Change out the propagation water on a regular basis to maintain healthy root growth and continuous supply of nutrients from water. Add fresh water once a week or can replace the water every few days, or simply top off the container with fresh water when it’s looking low as long as there is no murkiness or fungi growing. If the water is murky or turbid, replace it immediately with fresh water for the health of the growing root system. Every time you change water wash the container and also clean the roots. Watch out any fungus growth time to time. You can add little bit of fertiliser with the water once a month. To boost healthy growth. 3. Choose the right vessel. Preferably glass containers work best, as rusting of metal containers on prolonged contact with water can cause a problem for healthy plant propagation. Also darker colored vessels (like wine bottles) help cuttings grow more robust roots also more faster. 4. Make sure your propagations are exposed to sufficient light so they can stay strong while growing those new roots and do better photosynthesis to meet their food requirements. Also keep them away from hot, direct sunlight to avoid burning. In general bright spots of your home work best. 5. once a root system established, and anywhere from two-four inches long, it's best to transfer them into soil without further delay. As the more time they remain in water transition becomes more challenging. Plants like spider plants, pothos, ZZ plant, monstera, Swedish ivy, tradescantia, can be easily propagated at home.
