Watering

Watered on 2026-09-16.

Watering, fertilized with Hnojík

Watered. Slightly damp at the bottom. Fertilized with Hnojík insect frass.

Watering interval revised for soil stage

wateringIntervalDays changed from 5 to 8, wateringCue updated to the soil-stage cue. The 5-day figure was the water-propagation jar-change cadence, which stopped applying once potted into soil today. No soil-watering gaps are logged yet to measure from, so 8 is a starting estimate from the midpoint of the previously noted 7–10 day range for this plant once in soil – to be revisited once a few real gaps are logged.

Potted into soil after water propagation

Named: Ysyry (Guaraní for “river”).

Mix: same 2:1:1 ratio as Golden Pothos.

  • Pothos mix – 2 parts
  • Pine bark 5-15mm – 1 part
  • Pumice 3-7mm – 1 part

Top-dressed with pine bark. Perlite visible in the mix is from the bagged Pothos mix itself, not added separately.

Done: potted into a 9cm plastic nursery pot, watered thoroughly to settle the soil.

Setup: nursery pot sits inside a green ceramic cachepot (IKEA).

Water changed, willow water added

Water changed in the shared propagation jar, willow water added. 7 days since the last change on Aug 19 – a couple days over the 5-day interval.

Roots long and healthy, nearly ready to pot

Roots now long and well developed, catching up to the pothos. Nearly ready to move to soil.

Water changed, willow water added

Water changed in the propagation jar shared with the golden pothos. 400 ml distilled water with 5 droppers of willow water. 6 days since the last change on Aug 13.

Secondary roots emerging; node 2 still not rooting

Secondary roots emerging on a couple of the main roots – small lateral buds visible partway down their length, no branching out yet. Main roots tan/cream colored, several strands extending well down into the jar.

Node 2 not producing roots – dried node sheath, stem tissue firm, no soft or dark rot.

Klara's read: ready to pot soon.

Water changed, willow water added

Water changed in the propagation jar shared with the golden pothos. Mix: 50/50 boiled-and-cooled water to distilled water, ~400 ml total, with 5 droppers of willow water. 5 days since the last change on Aug 3 – on schedule.

Water changed, willow water added

Water changed in the propagation jar shared with the golden pothos. 3 droppers of willow water into ~0.4 L of fresh water. On schedule – 5 days since the last change on Jul 29.

Roots on the upper node cluster growing long and fast, thin and unbranched so far. Finer than the pothos roots at the same stage. Watch for side branching as they lengthen.

Photo of the shared jar – the long thin roots are the Brasil’s.

Roots progressing; catching up to the pothos

Rooting from the submerged node, roots shorter and finer than the pothos but clearly extending. Stem firm, no soft spots at the cut end. Still behind the pothos in root mass but on track.

Roots emerging

Thin, white roots visibly popping out. Good sign – progressing well. Sharing propagation jar with golden pothos.

Water changed every 5 days with willow water added. Move to soil once roots are more developed.

Water changed, willow water added

Water changed in the propagation jar (shared with the golden pothos). Added willow water as a rooting supplement to help strengthen root growth.

Acquired as stem cutting, water propagation started

Stem cutting acquired same day as original Diego (Mammillaria). Placed in water to propagate.
