Hi all, I wondered, so I googled to learn if adding a micro amount of liquid fertilizer to propagating water would be helpful and found conflicting responses. What are your thoughts? Thank you in advance 🪴

    I just did this last night to a cebu pothos I’ve had propagating for about 7 months. He has had the beginning of a leaf forever & so many roots already, so I decided to give him a little snack. Also did this to a spider plant that has been propagating for about 2 weeks now, I guess we’ll see what happens! 🧪 ⚗️🔬🥼

    I literally just used the tiniest amount of my aero garden fertilizer, which is meant for that technically. So I’m not too worried tbh

    I do add just a smidge of liquid tropical fertilizer to my prolongations when I change the water, and I’ve noticed that it can encourage root growth! I haven’t noticed any adverse effects thus far!

    I haven’t tried it but I find just regular water works fine, but it might vary depending on the plant you’re trying to propagate.

      Just found myself suddenly wondering after so many decades of using water alone. Thanks 🪴

    I add superthrive foilage pro - just 1/2ml to 33oz of water. Tiny amount. I use it on all my semi-hydro, alternating with plain water. New props or old plants I treat them all the same.
