Pothos are great for that!!! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/c01UnvoUh6w7v8GA2MJBR-iibA0WHmzsrTG7RlZBLPw/4SSXJB_HR3q3Lgg6VAPNyA.webp?size=large) #### Pamela님이 2024-05-30에 답변했습니다. Omg, lol, I misread that!! Disregard my post 😂🤪 #### Bre님이 2024-06-01에 답변했습니다. How did you get your pothos roots to grow so thick? I have some propagating now for about 2 months and they’re thin and long as heck #### Pamela님이 2024-06-01에 답변했습니다. Dunno, I always make sure there are 3-4 nodes and at least 3 leaves. I put them in glass or jar with water and they grow like crazy. ### Gigglzngreenz님이 2024-05-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. I think if you just don’t keep topping them off everyday and let them run out of water that you should be fine. They’re usually pretty in the plants even if there’s no water in them. If you put a bamboo skewer in your plants (I have them in all my plants) you can pull it out to see how damp the soil is. You just don’t want your soil to stay soaked for most plants. Most Ferns and calatheas like to be kept quite moist so those would definitely be safe to use them in without too much worry of overwatering. And they’re nice because the top of the soil can stay dry and keep fungus gnat eggs from hatching. ### Kelly님이 2024-05-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. hey. As a person who likes to torture her plants by keeping them in the same glass (swamp) for 2+ years. Here are the pro tips for propagation . Not from Google, not from some person on YouTube. Just me and you friend 😂😂🪴🪴 first things first, when you make your cut…Don’t put it in water immediately because then it’s going to rot and you’ll lose the cut. Let it dry for a bit. next, if you want to be really extra, put some rooting hormone on the area where the roots should grow. Finally, as your propagation grows, get some slow release fertilizer pellets . They changed my life. Plants that stopped growing in those silly glasses for a year started growing immediately once I popped those in. 🪴🪴🪴😊🪴 #### Kelly님이 2024-05-30에 답변했습니다. sorry, if you can use those watering globes as propagation vessels, which I suggest #### Cait2k3님이 2024-05-30에 답변했습니다. Brand name of pellets?? #### Kelly님이 2024-05-30에 답변했습니다. osmocote ### Sophie님이 2024-05-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. I just bought two of these and honestly I don’t think they work ( or I might not using it right?) the one I put in my fern is not releasing water at all; the one I put in my hydrangea pot released its water in a few hours and I feel that too fast. Conclusion for me is that they look pretty but dose not work easily for the designed purpose ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/i11_1S6vGk2xxFoLjr9h8VVCqJRiL0xRlBEMEBdfLJk/9vDUn_2mT7KQTZWz9_jg2w.webp?size=large) ### Krista님이 2024-05-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. I actually have one I am using for my moss poles. They seem to work pretty well for keeping those moist #### DanishGramma님이 2024-05-30에 답변했습니다. Great idea! 💡 Thanks 🙏 ### Ji11님이 2024-05-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. I’d use them on your plants that tend to dry out faster. This all depends on the type of plant, soil medium, pot size, ect. But I’m sure you’ve noticed yourself what plants need more frequent watering, so I’d add them to those. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
