#WillowWater????
I was curious to see if any other plants produced natural rooting hormones apart from #Pothos and saw that Willows actually produce rooting hormones?? I didn’t see anything saying #PothosWater (which it should be!) and Pothos are easier to acces but I wanted to know if it was actually true. And I think we need to have a #PlantWaterRace! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #ScienceWithGreg #PothosPack #RootPorn #rootinghormone #willow #PropagationStation #PropagationStation @dreamlettuce

@PlantyPlanter it’s just used to speed up rooting process! Some plants generally root slower because they have less natural rooting hormones, so because we want to accelerate the root growth, we pair it with a cutting i.e Pothos cutting, that has more natural rooting hormone that they put out via water propagation and the slow rooting absorbs it through the water!
@PlantyPlanter that’s very nice to know. But pothos is definitely the best route to go. Thanks to @kscape for finding this out for us.
@jcPlantProper @KikiGoldblatt @RJG We need to have a #PlantWaterRace!! I had a willow but it died but I’ll see what I can do! I have everything but willow 😂 but we need to see which one is the fastest! So @kscape you need to see which Pothos makes plants grow fastest so we can compare!
@PlantyPlanter @RJG @kscape this might be interesting:
Rhizomatous grasses include bamboo, pampas grass, caterpillar grass, and Bermuda grass. Flowering plants include irises, cannas, lily of the valley, and sympodial orchids. Edible plants include asparagus, hops, rhubarb, ginger, turmeric, and lotus. Aspen trees spread via rhizomes. Although the trees of an aspen stand appear distinct, they are all connected underground and may be considered the largest organisms on Earth. Other plants that use rhizomes include poison oak, poison ivy, the Venus flytrap, and ferns.
No poison oak or Ivy for me.

@PlantyPlanter bahahaha I made a post yesterday about which Pothos help root fast 👀

Yes, willows are notorious for growing anywhere. Probably why I managed to kill my 3 Willow bonsai babies! 😭 🤣 To my defense, it was in the middle of the move, they stayed behind and so there was watering issues… I have to say though, I’ve never seen such a fast propagation! 🤗 I’m planning on getting new ones soon and try again, so I’m game to attempt a comparison between pothos water and willow water!… 🤗👍🏻 #ScienceWithGreg #WillowVSPothos
@kscape I saw it! But out of the ones you said which one would you pick to represent the #PothosWater? In the #PlantWaterRace. I wonder if the rooting hormones effect different groups of plants (like succulents, aquatic plants, flowering and non flowering plants) differently? 🤔
@PlantyPlanter golden Pothos would represent all Pothos since they’re all technically golden Pothos 🤭🤭
I have used willow water for years. The growing tips are high in Indolebutyric acid (IBA).
I can say that willow branches themselves root extremely fast!!!
After my #darkvsclear experiment I may have to #willowvspothos

@angelw1975 oh you should have said something earlier! That’s so cool! Do you have a willow right now?
@PlantyPlanter I keep one in a big pot...when he gets too big I give him away and prop one of his stems!
