It finally happened! I have roots on my snake plant cuttings! 😍 For this second go around I added a splash of hydrogen peroxide to the water and I’m gonna say that it definitely helped!

I’ve never heard of putting hydrogen peroxide in water while propagating, can you tell me more???

Hey! I’m sorry for the late reply! I’ve been told that it encourages more oxygen to the roots and helps prevent rot. You want to be a bit careful and not add too much tho, because it can destroy helpful bacteria :) I haven’t had a problem so far, adding a teaspoon to 2 cups of water.
