Propagating all my Scindapsus in 5 Different Substrates! Propagation Tips and Tricks for Success

#propagation #plantcare #scindapsus
This video is Part 2 of my Scindapsus Series where I propagate each one of my Scindapsus plants and use 5 different substrates to root them! Stay tuned for part 3 in some time after all these root and grow. I will be recording updates on them. If you want to know more about my scindapsus plants I will leave my collection video below.

    Water and moss both do great for me. I've never used fluvel! The only thing with water you really have to keep them moist when you pot them up because those roots are so use to being in water. I have some scindapsus growing in water that I left in to long to pot! They look really cute so I'm just going to keep them like that, I add a little fertilizer to the water and their growing great.

It took me 2 days to get up the courage to chop up my scindapsus exotica and my monstera peru. this is my first time doing this. it was scary for me. the thought of destroying my beloved plant is heartbreaking especially after caring for it for a year. i know im being dramatic 😆. but I did it. now the wait to see if I did it right. I used the perlite method for the leafs and spaghuman moss for the emty wet sticks. wish me luck.
