If you want healthy roots you should dip your cuttings in a clone x rooting hormone gel That'll fix your ugly root problem If it doesn't, it's because your water is too hot for the roots or too cold. But lean on the cold side so there is more oxygen present in the water. :) I only plugged the brand because they've got a gel that really doesn't wash off in the cloner and I think their is some level of nutrients in it as well but the salts in it don't burn the plant because salt is just the name for the shape of the molecule and if you use a plant based nutrient the molecules are broken down literally 1, 000X smaller than from raw resources. This provides the cutting with everything the plant needs while reducing stress on the plant especially if the cutting is from a mother plant because even though its just a small piece of plant, it's genetically matured as an adult.

If I understand correctly it is key to not wait to long before transplanting. However, I have some heartleaf philodendron that I've been growing in water for many months now and most have huge root systems. Some vines are over a meter long with good growth at the tips, but recently it has started discarding many of the older leaves leaving long but barren vines. I think it is a lack of nutrients so I'm considering planting them in soil but I'm worried it might go wrong due to large amount of time that they have grown in water, do you have any tips in this scenario? Or should I cut the plant in smaller cuttings, let those root and transplant them instead?

Would you recommend watering cuttings that have rooted from the bottom or the top? I have my cuttings growing in an 8oz clear cups. I am currently watering them from the bottom and only let about the first two bottom inches of the dirt in the cup get saturated. So far they are doing pretty well but I am wondering if this is the best way to water or if i am not watering them enough. Once i notice that the soil is about to dry out I repeat the process.

Thanks for a very helpful video. I do wonder. I have a bunch of coleus cuttings in water that I want to transplant outside. What is the best way to do that transition? Would you need to put them in a pot inside first to grow roots, or could they go straight outside from the water medium as long as you keep watering them while they grow?

thank you for the tips! I had a very healthy root system of my monster deliciosa from water prop, but after transporting it to soil (potting mix + perlite, soaking it and adding humidity, it became root rot. It was devastating, do you have any tips on how to prevent this? not packing the soil too much or anything? TY

How long are the newly potted plants in their shock period? Also how long do the newly potted plants need to be by a humidifier? I have coleus that are ready to be potted and looking to move them outside when spring weather rolls around--I'm in Houston. Once I move them outside, will they survive the warm weather?

This is so helpful! Thank you: ) question - I recently transplanted some cuttings and was less than graceful about placing the roots. E. g, didn't back fill, it was more of a cramming situation. Would you recommend I take them out and reposition? It's been about a week since I put them in soil.

How long should it take for the root system to get established? And how can you tell when it's time to turn the humidity down/take the zip lock bag off and start caring for the plant normally? Assuming not every plant is going to establish itself at the same rate.

High levels of dissolved oxygen promote healthy root growth. . When there's less oxygen in the water than there is in the plant, this reduces the permeability of roots to water, therefore reducing (even reversing) the absorption of nutrients.

If I don't have a humidifier and I leave in a dry place with radiators and not that bright, could I place the newly-potted ones in my bathroom - which is small and gathers A LOT of steam during showers- for the first, say, two weeks?

Someone might have already commented this, but one of those is not like the others! Scindapsus sneaking into the pothos crowd, as per usual. Love them, though! Such a beautiful leaf. And they grow about the same.

Can anyone answer this? :
01 When you develop a cutting in Pumice only: Does it send down soil roots or water roots?
02 When you put water roots in soil: Do they adapt or do they rot while new soil roots develop?

Is this the same for succulents, tomatoes, and potatoes rooted in water? I've been having issues with my sweet potatoes slips and I'm wondering if I have been letting their roots develop too long in water.

Thank you so much for this video. I am great at getting cuttings to grow in water but not so great at transplanting them into soil. Hopefully, if I follow your instructions, my success rate will improve
