Just got a cutting gift of Monstera Mini. Thinking about purchasing chunky perlite and put it into perlite with water at the bottom. I don’t like dust and small particles of perlite everywhere in the house, haha, so I’ve found a big 1-2 cm (half inch) option. Will it also work or too big? Any suggestions for perlite+water propagating?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Just be aware that growing or propagating in perlite+water will grow algae quickly. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it might bother some people. Otherwise, I think perlite is a great medium to propagate in before transferring to soil!
