I always thought plant time lapse videos are so cool, so I decided to make my first one :)

I cut the top off of a pilea plant and placed it in water. I kept the cutting under two 40W Sansi bulbs. That was an overkill! Only one of these bulbs is sufficient for a full sun loving plant like a fiddle leaf fig or a cactus. And for pilea even one less strong bulb would've been enough.

But, the more light you give a cutting, the faster it will propagate.

How long do you think it took to make this time lapse? How long did it take to grow these roots?

PRODUCT THAT I USE AND LOVE THAT CAN SPEED UP PROPAGATION (affiliate links):
➡️ [ Ссылка ] - Heat mat (place underneath the propagation vessel to warm it up, can cut propagation time in half)
➡️ [ Ссылка ] - an air pump provides a constant inflow of oxygen which speeds up propagation. Oxygen is crucial for healthy root development
➡️ [ Ссылка ] - humidity dome for soil propagation
➡️ [ Ссылка ] - rooting hormone, for plants that are not easy to propagate

FERTILIZER
➡️ [ Ссылка ] - Dyna Gro fertilizer, excellent for tropical plants, contains all 16 minerals houseplants need
➡️ [ Ссылка ] - Espoma succulent and cacti fertilizer

LIGHT METERS
➡️ [ Ссылка ] - Dr. Meter light meter, the only way to know that you're providing your plants with sufficient light
➡️ [ Ссылка ] - Most light meters apps are incorrect, this one has been pre-calibrated for a variety of cell phones

IF YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH NATURAL LIGHT, YOU CAN USE GROW LIGHTS TO SPEED UP PROPAGATION:
➡️ [ Ссылка ] - 60W Sansi grow light (for large plants)

OTHER TOOLS I USE TO MAKE MY TIMELAPSE VIDEOS (affiliate links)
➡️ [ Ссылка ] - tripod, I have 3 of these, they work really well
➡️ [ Ссылка ] - Ring Light
➡️ [ Ссылка ] - a very affordable lighting kit
➡️ [ Ссылка ] - gimbal video stabilizer. I don't use it for timelapse videos, but to make a lot of non-timelapse videos, and it's an amazing tool to provide professional-looking videos at a low price
