Recently the algorithm has put some videos in my feed about potting cuttings or plants recovering from root rot in perlite. Has anyone tried this and had success? Did you use only perlite or did you add a little bit of soil? Thanks!!

I've done both a mix of perlite and moss and only perlite and both work great! I do it in a prop box for wet sticks primarily

How did you water? And how did you know when to water? Thank you!

For prop boxes, I moisten it initially and just keep it sealed. For perlite alone, I like to keep water in it pretty consistently and then For a moss/perlite combo, I misted it regularly so it's damp not soggy

I’ve been looking into doing this too, so this is very helpful
