# Does anyone know what this like translucent bubble is coming off of…

Does anyone know what this like translucent bubble is coming off of my propagations? 😭It’s only on some of them. I dipped them in rooting hormone before I stuck them in a while ago so maybe that’s it??

Side note: some of my propagations are finally growing roots so thank you to everybody who gave me some tips last time!!

Sap?

i think it might be bacteria of sorts, ive had this in my bamboo prop- rinse it off, and spray with hydrogen peroxide. try to avoid getting anything that might be germy in the water :)
