# Some of my plant was cut down during the spa I gave them this…

_Posted by Elin on 2023-01-24_

Some of my plant was cut down during the spa I gave them this weekend. The Propagation box is set up and I hope they all will root successfully.  
In this box you have a mix of aroids and one type of Hoya ☺️  
If the propagation box is set up correctly it’ll speed up the rooting process. And it’s so easy!

All you need is:  
\- clear box of plastic or glass (for single plants a ziplock bag works as well 👏)  
\- Inert substrate such as small sized LECA or perlite. Damp sphagnum moss can also be used.  
\- a spot for your propagation that is both warm and bright. ☀️🔥  
\- and a bunch of cuttings 🌿

Place the cuttings on top of the substrate, mist them well and close the lid. Check up on them now and then. Additional misting might be needed. Or ventilating excess moisture.

Amazing! And IKEA to the rescue 😍 🛟

Yep, the big old SAMLA is the perfect propagation box 🤩 Do you use any IKEA items for your plants?

#### Ida replied on 2023-01-26

Yes! Several items but HYLLIS is my favorite: plant shelf! And if the shelves are turned up side down and get some sealing in the corners = tray, and you can place your plants directly on them 😍🙌

If you make holes in the lid you don’t need to ventilate the box.
