Good Water Fertilizer?

I’ve been doing more research on doing water propagations and it’s recommended to add nutrients. So what’s the best water fertilizer for an elephant ear or string of hearts #PropagationStation #NewPlantMom #PlantLove #waterpropagation
0ft to light, direct
2” pot with drainage
Last watered 3 years ago
I'm a big fan of liquid seaweed concentrate. Often in combination with a pothos cutting added to the propagation vessel.

Check out the posts at #pothoswater for info about the growth hormones in pothos and people's experiences propagating with pothos cuttings or water. 🌷
@CorvidFan she’s a colocasia !
I believe alocasia/colocasia propagate via corms only not cuttings.

From the photo it looks like just a cut leaf, yes? If so, there's no nutrient or rooting hormone that will get that guy to root. I'm so sorry!

Perhaps whoever gave you the cutting can give you a corm the next time they repot the fella.
@CorvidFan lmfao omfg thank you! I really believed it would cause the stem has been drinking the water I gave it πŸ’€ I Thought it was doing something
No doubt he still appreciated the love and attention...he just had one foot in the compost pile.

I'd still recommend checking out the pothos tag. If I have one available, I pretty much pop in a single leaf pothos cutting into whatever else I'm propagating.
