Instead of buying one of those expensive cloning machines for your plant propagation, try these designs out! These types of diy propagation stations are simple and inexpensive to build.
In this video, we’ll talk about a design that uses air stones only, as well as a design with a submersible water pump with a 360° sprinkler head to get the job done.
I like both of these styles better than building an intricate PVC network and attaching sprayers to it, because they basically perform the same without the need for all of the extra parts.
SPONSOR
Today’s video is sponsored by CZ Garden Supply, the manufacturers of some of the products you see used in this video. The heavy-duty net pots and air stone in particular are much better than the standard ones I’ve used in the past, and I’ll be using them in all future builds.

I could show you how to do this for $40 it would be better quality and hold 9-12 plants and net pods are trash for transplanting
And you can put some little fishes in the air stone bucket
How often does the water pump or stone need to be on . Or its constantly on for 2-3 weeks
Made a bubble cloner after watching your video I think thos is gp8ng to be great
Great video
do you think it is useful for the propagation of aroid like philodendron and monstera
From what I’ve heard you want the stem of the plant in the water. Is this not true?
Air pump should be above water level .
I almost spend 200$ now just 20 $ you a lifesaver
That is a great alternative for propagation station.
Am I the only person who's thinking thta the spray version is not only less efficient, but also a bit erm aggressive on tender roots…??
I love you're diy set up videos.. I've been following you for at least a year now for just my house plants stuff, as i nearly doubled my houseplant capacity during down time at work / initial quarantine times… but now, i'm giving cannabis a go, and the cuttings are definitely a bit touchier to root than your average pathos ( aka fool proof propagating houseplant..)
.. Would you PLEASE do s video on care or/ propagation of Monstera Adansonii….?? aka "actual" swiss cheese plant/ vine….. I have one and i adore the nature of it, but I just cant' seem to keep this one plant happy despite doing so well now with 90% of all my other house plants… Ironically, a struggle plants for me also is the supposedly "easy" spider plant…. I am now suspicious if the two might be similarly watering sensitive..( soil type/ makeup depending of course….??" I get ends of old AND new foliage turning brown and dying.. seems to happen no matter how i attempt ot shift the watering… ugh I am so frustrated.
What’s the GPM of the pump?
cut the bottom of the net pots off so u can transplant them to another setup an roots dont get entangled in the net pots. No growing media is needed also . This can also be made with a airpump with a water level right below the stems like a oxycloner
Will this method for roses?
What size drill bit do I need to make the net pot holes. Are those 3 inch net pots? I can use 2 Inch and do more right
Do I use nutrient water in this?
I wish I had a clone much that has a keyboard so it can make clones a soft things and plastic things.
My name is Kevin
PSA: Never leave an air pump below the level of the water line.
Ha!
How this video only has 45k views in two years is beyond me. Probably it's just a bit too engineered for most gardener personality types, and they wouldn't consider the need to have a few clones on hand at a given time.
thanks
This man is f**king genius.
I 3d print my own net cups but i leave the bottoms completely open so the roots are easy to remove and not down inside the small holes in the bottom of the net cup. Great video!
New to your channel & very informative…..immediately subscribed!!! That's the way to explain for newbies like me :->>>>
I am so amazed at all of your VERY helpful videos!!!
Many thanks, Kevin!!!
