Yay! I’m new to propagating in perlite - how often do you add water to the prop jar?

#### bryan replied on 2024-06-03

tbh i forget to put water in it sometimes, but if i were to say i water it at least once a week or so!!

The roots look amazing!! I’ve been wanting to propagate with perlite. Do you have any tips or tricks?

#### bryan replied on 2024-06-03

tbh i found having a really bright grow light helps a lot, rn im propagating fairly easy plants like pothos and philodendrons, the trick is to keep the water below the nodes of your cuttings, the perlite wicks up the water and creates moisture for the nodes to take! i believe these are only 2-3 months old
