14 hours ago, Northerner said:Pipe could be running down the center through a hole, fish pump delivering the air payload.
It was very successful for me... except the medium was in the center suspended and the the water was on the outside. Kinda inverse.
Awesome idea! I love it. Oxygenated water would rapidly speed the whole rooting process. The inverse idea is brilliant especially if you live in a hot environment and/or are away from you plants for days at a time. I think I'm going to give this a go Northerner. Do you have a photo of your tek that you can post. I'm interested in the airline / airstone setup and how you suspended the central pot?

On 2/5/2018 at 10:41 PM, Smiling said:Wow! What a cool little tek. Is this how you make all your cuttings? I'm going to give this a go.
Hi Smiling - yes this is how I do it now. It works so effectively and I can replant them in roughly half the time. Please give it a go and let us know your results. Experiment!

Love your work SayN!
Citrus flavored chili - how cool - I'd be very interested in some seeds for the veggie patch.

The very first time you fill the reservoir I would recommend also lightly watering the Perlite to help the whole wicking process along.
After that you'll find the reservoir does all the work for you.
Also feel free to experiment with variations in the medium. I found coarse sand to work really well for woody cuttings.
The addition of a humidity dome and filtered light makes everything go gangbusters. I hope that helps.
I'd be really interested to see your setup once you're done. If anyone has any suggestions for improvements or upgrades, please share them.

Nothing worse than a generous povo bastard
Interesting plant. I would like to put my hand up for this one.

Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

The water disperses fairly evenly in Perlite.
The roots won't stick to the central pot but you'll certainly notice more developed roots on the side closest to the water reservoir.

WHAT IS AN INFINITY POT
An Infinity Pot is a unique indoor botanical tek that is an alternative to the classic Forsythe Pot. The primary purpose of the Infinity Pot is to increase the success rate of cuttings and seedlings. An Infinity Pot is made up of a large 27cm Terracotta pot filled with Perlite. Sitting level inside is a smaller 11cm Terracotta pot with it's drainage hole sealed. The smaller pot is filled with fresh water which gentle seeps through the porous Terracotta at a slow controlled rate directly into the root zone wall of where the cuttings or seedlings are sitting. Plants that are somewhat difficult to root will have a better chance and losing your precious cuttings due to rot will now be a thing of the past. The major benefit of an Infinity Pot is that the plant is often able to make the transition to the garden much quicker and with an advanced root system in A+ condition.
HOW TO MAKE AN INFINITY POT
Below is a full 8-step instructional guide on how to make an Infinity Pot.
BEFORE YOU START
This is an indoors only tek. For best results, be sure to start this project with fresh Perlite and new Terracotta pots. Reused items can be a source of contamination and disease.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
- 1 x Large 27cm Terracotta Pot
- 1 x Small 11cm Terracotta Pot
- 1 x Bag of Perlite
- Silicone Glue
- Caulking Gun
- Tape
- Scissors
STEP 1
Tape up the drainage holes.
STEP 2
Use silicone glue to plug the drainage hole on the smaller 11cm Terracotta Pot. Allow up to 24hrs drying time to create a water-tight seal.
STEP 3
Half-fill the larger Terracotta pot with Perlite.
For Cuttings: Skip to STEP 6
STEP 4
If using seedlings in Jiffy-7 Peat Pellets, first check their height in the pot. Add more Perlite or remove some to achieve optimal height.
STEP 5
Continue planting out all the seedlings in Jiffy-7 Peat Pellets paying close attention to optimal spacing.
STEP 6
Fill the remainder of the Infinity Pot with Perlite.
For Cuttings: Use rooting hormone and gently push the cuttings directly into the Perlite.
STEP 7
Fill the smaller 11cm Terracotta Pot with fresh water.
STEP 8
Your project is now complete. Be sure to check on the Infinity Pot every 3-4 days and refill the water reservoir when necessary. Best of luck!

Hi Siggor,
Nice work. This is what its all about.
Shortly I'll be rolling out my xeriscaped cacti garden and these would make a lovely addition. Also I promise not to on-sell them if I am the lucky recipient.
Here is the link to my own seed giveaway: http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?/topic/45106-free-seed-giveaway-toothache-plant-acmella-oleracea/
You should enter!

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED. THANK YOU.
Welcome!
I greet you in the Love and in the Light.
I recently had a lot of success growing some fairly potent Toothache plants and managed to collect some seeds pods.
If you haven't heard of this plant, I strongly urge you to do some research and add it to your own garden.
In the spirit of giving and to cast this plant's seed far and wide, I'm offering up 8x freshly dried seeds pods of the Toothache Plant (Acmella Oleracea) to 8x people.
Yes, that's right. For FREE. I'll even cover the postage.
The first 8x people to post on here will be the lucky recipients.
I'll send you a PM requesting postage info and send them away before the long weekend via regular post.
Australian residents only. Thanks for your understanding.
Have a great week. Until next time my friends.

Don't everyone put your hands up all at once now...you'll crash the server!
I'm keen Sharxx101. I have some seeds and young plants to trade / swap / give away. Happy to bring them along.

Sorry for the delayed reply. No sure how I missed these.
Yes, you can go under an 18/6 light schedule and perpetually harvest the leaves. If you want those button you'd need to try a flowering schedule like 12/12
Once past juvenile stage they can handle full blown sun but I find they do best / look best / are most potent when they only get morning sun and a good constant dosing of nutrient water.

Hey BigRed, what's happening with the next Brisbane meet. Seems everyone is keen for a catch up.
