I've always had better luck rooting in water first. Plant in soil when the roots are 1/2 to 1 inch long.

I rooted mine in water, then transplanted. Be sure to transplant with some B vitamin to help with the shock of transplantation.
And YES, I KNOW .... no one agrees with me, but I love Superthrive for that job!![[Big Grin]](im/biggrin.gif)
I've always had luck with it. Sometimes my cuttings will die if I just transplant them with regular water.
BTW, how are you doing your philodenderon cuttings?

Rooting in water first always gives me faster and better results but be sure to transplant into soil when the roots are an inch or so. This is so because plants have different roots to adapt to different mediums. If the roots grow too big in water, they become water roots.

Hi Preciousgreenfingers,
I have a question about the water roots. I have a peace lilly that is growing in the water of my Betta fish bowl. It is really healthy, living there. When my fish decides to move on, am I going to have a problem potting the plant in soil?
Thanks!

I have a gigantic split-leaf philodenderon, and I noticed today that I can pull off an entire leaf-stem. So you think if I put that in water it will root?

I have done these in water as well with great success!

Hello Shirls,
You will probably have problem re-establishing your peace lily in soil. The plant generally goes slack in soil but you surely can try with one small clump before all your fish go.
Best of luck!

why not just keep it in a vase w/ water? it looks nice if you put colored glass marbles in the bottom- dont have to have fish...

My cat likes to try and drag it out of the fishbowl. I don't want it broken and her hurt. You know about cats, they own the place

I was wondering if anyone could advise me with information regarding cuttings from philodendrons. Do I need to take these cuttings and let them root in water first, or just directly apply them to the dirt immediately after cutting?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Karen
