Have you ever heard of rooting in diatomaceous earth granules? Did you know there are other granular products with known plant benefits? Will cuttings root in them?
I rooted some cuttings in 100% granular diatomaceous earth, FloorDry brand. I had really good results. Also, I've had good results using 100% pumice as well.
Looking forward to part 4 of this experiment. Can I also suggest you continue the experiment by tracking how well the plants transition to potting soil once you are ready to up pot the plants.... My prediction is going to be Akadama soil will have the most root development in this stage, but I am not sure how well the roots to adapt to potting soil.
Yep, I will do my best with that. I have another experiment coming out in a couple of weeks where I will have to up pot a few quite carefully if they are successful along with these. So we’ll see how everything progresses. My initial feeling was that the Akadama soil would have the best roots as well.

I love pumice! It’s a definite favorite. I’ve not rooted in 100% of it yet though. Definitely an idea to try!

My money's on the Zeolite... great experiment. You have sample size of 4 and 4 treatments?
For this particular one, yes.
