Philodendron White Wizard: Update!

A few weeks ago, I gave you guys an update on some air layering I had just put on our Philodendron White Wizard. After just two to three days, some roots had already started to develop.

I'm always surprised by how quickly some air layering will show growth on nodes. If you missed my last post on how to air layer, you can view it here: https://wetyourplants.wixsite.com/website/post/propagate-with-peace-of-mind

For me, air layering is the way to go. Anything I can propagate with this method will be a guaranteed success in my mind. This Philodendron White Wizard was one that I was nervous about propagating, but with this method, I had no worries at all!

After almost four weeks of being wrapped, this Philodendron White Wizard put out some wicked roots. They were EVERYWHERE.

Each node had started growing very large roots. Even the nodes I hadn't intentionally wrapped were growing roots! I was amazed at the progress it had made so quickly. These roots were by far the strongest ones I had seen from any of my previous propagations.

At this point, I decided it was time to chop this Wizard's head off and start getting him ready to acclimate in some soil and sphagnum moss. Of course, I'm always nervous to start chopping but the fact that the roots are already so strong, puts my mind a little more at ease.

This little baby is currently acclimating to its new pot and after a few more weeks, it should be ready for a new home! Keep an eye out for this three leaf White Wizard in our shop.

If any of you have tried this air layering method, we'd love to see it! Send in your pictures and let us know how the propagating went for you. We'd love to see what you guys can do! Check back soon for our updates on the progress of propagating our Philodendron Pink Princess. We can't wait to see what that gorgeous pink plant will pop out next!
