What’s the trick for moving a plant from propagating in water to soil? I seem to have mixed results.

    I like the “roots had roots” take. Great measurement! I wait for the roots to get to an inch to two inches long and then transplant. I water immediately and keep it a little wetter than I normally would for the first week or two. Good luck!

    Some people worry about soil not having enough air circulation after water rooting since water roots are so delicate. I recommend a soil heavily mixed with perlite. Or I have a friend who plants the roots into perlite, let’s them dry so they stick a bit and then into soil. She swears it helps with the roots not suffocating.

      Oh wow, the planting into perlite is a great idea

    Transfer to well aerated soil. So a mix of regular indoor soil, some perlite (not a lot as it retains water), and some peat moss which helps with moisture control.

    I’ve planted them into soil and then just made sure the soil is always wet. Or gradually added soil to the water, and letting the water evaporate over time

    i use perlite or another semi hydroponic medium to get them used to the decreased oxygen levels and then i transfer to a well draining soil mix
