How to Propagate Plants in Water (Create New Plants from Old Ones!)
In this video, Byron demonstrates the technique of propagating plants in water — a simple and effective method for creating “new” plants from “old” ones. The process involves taking cuttings from plants, and then placing in glass tubes filled with water, ensuring the nodes (where leaves attach) are submerged. The water should be refilled regularly due to evaporation and can be changed to prevent algae growth. Roots typically develop within a week or two, and the plants can remain in water for extended periods. Once the root system is well-developed, the plants can be repotted into soil. Fertilizer can be added to the water to promote faster growth, but it may increase algae growth and necessitate more frequent water changes. Byron also discusses the importance of leaving a growing eye on cuttings, especially for plants like Monstera, to ensure new growth. He concludes with examples of successfully rooted plants in water, showcasing the effectiveness of this propagation method.
