Aesthetic growing racks to propagate plants from cuttings.
There are a huge amount of plants you can take cuttings from. The best tend to be trailing vines and hanging plants. Species such as scindapsus, epipremnum, tradescantia are all good options. Snip just above where some of the new leaves are emerging, so you get some leaf and some stem.
Try and get a good amount of stem on your cutting, so your leaf can sit nice and high outside of the bulb neck.
If there are any existing small areial roots on the piece you are cutting, even better!
You'll need to do this once you've assembled your Grow Rack. Simply fill the glass bulbs with water, and insert your plant cutting with the stem/root side down. Ensure they're nicely submerged in the water to promote the root growth.
Once your cuttings are in - it's time to watch them grow! You'll find roots will start emerging from a few days to a few weeks after you've put them in your Grow Rack. Sometimes the cuttings will product one long water root, and sometimes they'll produce many smaller roots.
Once fully rooted, you can either keep your cutting in your Grow Rack, or you can transplant into a soil based mix, and start propagating another.
How do I assemble my Grow Rack?
Assembly instructions are included in your Grow Rack box. However to view these online, please click here for the Double rack, and click here for the Triple rack.
What if the bulb holes are bigger than the washer?
The purpose of the washer is to ensure that the bulb does not slide along pole. It doesn't matter if the washer is smaller than the hole, when the bulb is filled with water, the washer will sit against the upper most edge of the hole, ensuring it doesn't slide along the pole.
Why are the legs on my triple rack sliding open?
If the legs on your triple rack are sliding open, simply tighten the nuts on each side of the screw. This will ensure the legs are held securely in place, to stop them from sliding apart.
How long will it take for the cuttings to grow?
Once in the water, you should normally start to see your cuttings start to root out within the first couple of weeks.
How long should I leave my cuttings in the Grow Rack?
This is entirely up to you! You can leave the cuttings in the Grow Rack for as long as you feel like they look appealing. Once a large root system forms, you can take them out and transplant them into soil, or you can leave them to grow in the bulb.
