The roots have really taken off
More roots on cutting
I am so pleased that they keep creating new roots. The roots continues to branch and the stem creates making new root noodles, too.
Here is one from the vase
WOW I am so impressed. I do not do well rooting in water. Is that just plain water? Time to pot them up.
Impressive roots! Congratulations. I haven't been letting the roots get that long. Once the roots get 1" or 2" long, the cuttings get potted. I'm not sure whether this applies to Brug roots, but usually roots grown in water break off easily and I'm afraid to lose those that have grown.
I got a few long roots at first, but then I added a small (very small) amount of fertilizer (20-20-20 Peters) to the water, and the roots took off. Branching started to happen in big amounts. I suspect the fertilizer had something to do with it.
I have used clear water in a vase which gets changed every 3-4 days. I wash out the vase in 10% clorax bleach solution and flush well with water. I then return the cuttings to the vase with clean water again. After a few weeks the first few roots started, and finally lots and lots of roots. Only after both cuttings had several roots did I add a bit of fertilizer.
those are great.. have some great brugs to..
