Hi, I'm Ella and I'm the plants meow and today I'm going to be talking about Ethereum STEM propagation and specifically how to propagate in theorems in per light. So when you propagate in a theorem through STEM cuttings you have to make sure you have at least two nodes on your in theorem. Specifically here my cuttings are probably a bit longer than some people do them just because I want to be sure that I'm not cutting through any nodes by accident. So I have a little bit of wiggle room to spare but really as long as you have about an inch cutting you should be good just be aware of where those nodes are and if in doubt it's always better to be safe than sorry. So cut a bigger section if you don't feel as confident in doing this. So here I've turned one queen in theorem into four pieces so I'll have four plants out of these. So specifically when I propagate in per light the first thing I do is I get a net pot. Then I'm going to fill that net pot with a good amount of per light and I use per light specifically because it provides a lot of air to our in theorems and also it has the ability to wake up moisture because of all the little holes on the sides of per light that you can't really see. So it's perfect for that moisture retention and giving them a great amount of air which is awesome for in theorems. So as soon as I get the amount of per light that I want I just kind of shove them in there probably about halfway down in the STEM cutting and usually in a six inch net pot I put about two of my STEM cuttings. Smaller net pots I'll just put one STEM cutting but I like to kind of conserve space and do as many propagations as I can. So the more the merrier. So the next thing I do is take a deep saucer. If you have a regular saucer that I work fine too just make sure you fill it a good amount for the regular sized one because you want to make sure that a good amount of your net pot is sitting in that water. And also I add just a drop of super thread which helps with the transplant shock. Later when I go to water using theorems in my per light what I usually do is I use a liquid rooting hormone that's diluted but at this point I just use a super thrive. So ideally you'll have about a third of your net pot sitting in water. So the next thing I do after that is I get a pretty big zip lock bag and I just place the whole thing inside of it. And that way they get lots of humidity in there. So I do reuse these zip lock bags but at the end of the video I'm going to be showing you an alternative method I do use if you don't want to use zip lock bags but also not a lot of people are going to go out and get the thing that I actually do use. So if you want to just quick easy propagation is the block bag is a great idea. What you also want to do is make sure you blow some air into the zip lock bag just because you want to make sure that there's some breathability in the bag. And as you can see the bottom of the net pot does have water and the per light is currently wicking it up. So again I'm just going to show you one of my time. This is the amount of water I have in my deep saucer. Then I'm just going to stick my net pot into it. And this saucer itself isn't too big so the net pot does sit elevated above it. So even though I had a ton of water in there it's not sitting completely in that water. If you choose to use a wider saucer I would definitely recommend putting less water in here because you don't want like half of your net pot sitting in water. You really want just to be about a third. And there's our populations. So that's quick and easy, very painless. So the next thing you're really going to do is just kind of put it somewhere and forget about it. So what I usually do is I just put it in one of my greenhouses. You don't have to. I do it because I know there's good lighting in there. So just put it in a place where they can get some light and they'll be totally cool. The humidity they are getting comes from the bag so it's not necessary to put them in a greenhouse. I just do it because I don't want them sitting around my house. I really quickly am just going to show you one of my propagation that I have from before. Sitting in a bag of water, not a saucer because I just didn't have a saucer at the time to use. And if you see there's already a new leaf on one of them and there's a growth point on the other one. So it's been pretty successful. The green stuff that's sitting on the purlight is just algae. Nothing bad for the plant. It's perfectly fine. And this is my purlight propagation from my previous purlight video where I talk about theory and propagation in purlight. And you can see she's doing very well, transitioning to soil. So I'm pretty happy with that. So now I'm just going to go ahead and show you my propagations in this terrarium. So I just have the net pot sitting in our saucers inside the terrarium instead of a bunch of the block bags. That way there in a contained space where the humidity does stay relatively high right now because they're in the greenhouse, the humidity is good. But if it wasn't, I would definitely have something above them like some kind of humidifier or maybe even considering closing and sealing the top of it where there's holes and just sticking a fan inside with them. But overall, I love this propagation method. I think it's absolutely excellent. It works perfectly for my infarions. And it's definitely worth a try if you've never tried propagating theorems. Or you just want to go ahead and propagate a bunch of the ones you have now. It's really an excellent method. It's by far my favorite. They just seem to absolutely love this medium. I'm even considering growing a few of my infarions semi-hydropronically in perlite. So I will definitely do an update video if I do decide to do that. I'm very curious to see how successful that would be because I'm really just loving this perlite method. And I want to see like really where I can take it. Thank you so much for watching this video. I really appreciate it. Let me know what you think about this propagation method in the comments below. Maybe a little propagation right now will help you stay more sane during this quarantine. Thank you so much for watching.
