  1. Thanks brother. How powerful was your airpump for the aquarium? Could also be it didn't have enough dissolved oxygen in the aquarium water for its liking maybe, DO is key for hydro and is obviously not an issue with aero.

     

    Could also maybe be because hydro nutes usually have PH buffers in them that balance the ph, and plants are way more sensitive to ph changes in hydro because soil acts as a buffer as well. So if you didn't add nutes or ph'd the water mahbe that's why it didn't enjoy the aquarium? dunno

  2. I'm sure aero or even hydro is amazing for established plants, but I guess it's not sterile enough for rooting leaves, a leaf on its own must have a weak immune system I guess.

    Are your colorata cuttings leaves or stem?

     

    Definitely interested in knowing what type of npk ratio you gave your psychotria, I might try to put some in dwc sometime.

  3. Yeah I tried rooting viridis leaves in aero a couple times and they rotted both times so I guess it's the same for colorata.

    Best bet is coco inside a ziploc or mini greenhouse imo. It doesn't contam easily, holds moisture well and still is well aerated. I've had 100% rooting on a dozen or so leaves this way.

  4. Thanks a lot zed240, it was growing in Eastern Europe, Bulgaria to be precise, I don't think they get much sun over there. The piece is quite skinny even for a bridge.

    Here are some pics of other pieces from the same plant:

    I will report back same time next year for a more thorough ID


  5. Sorry man but it probably isn't gonna take if you removed the cling wrap after 2 days...

    Not only does this cause it to dry out too soon but by removing the wrap you unavoidably messed with the scion at the most critical stage.

     

    Fingers crossed for you though
