Experiment 7: Pothos Water & Heartleaf Philodendron

Hello there, #GregGang πŸ‘‹πŸ½

@PlantEsteem made an amazing post and started a tag #ShowOffSaturday for #ScienceWithGreg posts! I think this is an amazing tag for Saturday and already looking forward to it! If you’d like read their post, read more here: https://greg.app/question/geunv/do-you-want-to-show-off-your-sciencewithgreg-how-bout-we-start-showoffsaturday-and-show-off-that

πŸ”¬I have a new experiment for #ScienceWithGreg! propagating #HeartleafPhilodendron in #GoldenPothos #PothosWater πŸ”¬ #Philodendron are known to be slow rooters so I figure I’d try it out with my magical ✨Pothos Water✨ *Water that holds my Pothos cuttings 🌱

πŸ“ΈI put these cuttings in water July 15, 2022. I have not changed the water as it is not β€œdirty”. Look at those roots on the cuttings that have been rooted in #PothosWater!! You can most definitely tell that root growth has been accelerated thanks to the amazing ✨Pothos Water✨⚑️🌿 I’ll let the pics do the talking 😌

Holy smokes!!!!! What a difference! I think you’re onto something!! 🧠πŸͺ΄
WOW 🀩
OH. MY. GOODNESS!!!!!! No wonder my heart leaves don’t have roots!! I’ve been doing it wrong. I am going to put them in #PothosWater right now!! This is CRAZYCOOL. @kscape you are the BOMB!!!
This is magnificent!!🀩🀩 Thanks for the plug @kscape πŸ₯° #sciencewithgreg is so inspiring!!!πŸ’–πŸ’š
Yes @kscape is sooo right!! #PothosWater is magic for all water prop! This has worked so well for me so many times. I even use it to water other plants every now and then, especially once I’ve transferred cuttings into soil for the first time.
Pothos cuttings are amazing to prop others cuttings with. My ZZ cutting, ZZ Zenzi cutting, my Monstera cuttings are doing amazing πŸ₯°πŸ€© #sciencewithgreg
@kscape wow looking good! πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ’―πŸ’―
Found some more roots, I put a cutting from my Jade campfire in with a pothos cutting one week ago and roots showing. GP root at the top, and Little Jade roots on the right πŸ₯Έ pothos truly is magic ✨
I'm late to the party because of work but here are my cuttings!
These are in 50/50 distilled and pothos water and the growth has really taken off. No doubt that pothos water is AMAZING!
Roots started growing on roots once I added the tradescantia.. this #sciencewithgreg journey is so much fun
Woahhhhhhhhhhh
Ok question: how are we defining pothos water? Is it water that a plant fully rooted in? Is it water that had rooting pothos and wasn’t done yet but was swapped out? How far along are we categorizing this as pothos water?
@AlliesTerrarium I’ll explain in detail in a bit exactly what it is!
@AlliesTerrarium Im going to make a full post tomorrow but here’s what I wrote for now
