I made a prop box using perlite after your first two videos recommending it. Although I normally use water for rooting, the prop box successfully got some of my hoya and tradescantia cuttings to root! It's a fun alternative rooting method to water, especially when I plan to pop the rooted cuttings in with the mother plant. Thanks for continuing to update your community on how your own prop box is doing. 👍

Question: have you ever put a small humidifier meter in the box to see what it’s actually sitting at out of curiosity? Great video too thanks. I have a 1020 container and vented lid with wet sticks in them and was told to keep it at 70%. The only time I get condensation is when it sits at 90% plus and I started getting a little rot on one cutting. Even while opening every day to let more air in (even though there’s vents). So now I leave the box partially open to sit at 70ish always. So I was just really curious to see what your sealed containers sit at without causing rot. Looks like it would be 100% plus?? Thanks 😊
