What do you prefer to root in water or soil and why? Personally as a very inexperienced Gardener I have only rooted in water. I have read that the plants needs the soil and things of that nature but for me I started rooting devils ivy in fish tanks first then lucky bamboo. That was almost ten years ago. I also did a veggie Garden with the kids when they were younger around 2008/07 that was great with the kids too. So its been quite awhile and I have started again with the flowers! I JUST LOVE TO GET A FLOWER ON A GOOD GROWING FRENZY!. lol I had hundreds and hundreds of petunias this summer. They were BEAUTIFUL! Now I am rooting everything I can get my hands on everything started great got some Persian Shields to root lost few coleus stem then rooted some vines n 2 more coleus all in water. Now im gonna do Some rose stems but I AM DEBATING THE SOIL but maybe Ill do both. Just wanted a few thoughts from a few ladys or gents ... kinda see how others have done...

also do you use rooting compounds or honey or any other things to get better roots or more chance of roots?????
