So, someone gave me some Christmas cactus and Thanksgiving cactus cuttings. Since they had been growing outside for the summer (and probably had aphids), I figured I'd zap them before rooting them, as a precaution against disease (and to further my knowledge about how plants, as opposed to just seeds, respond to being zapped).
I zapped them while they were submerged under water. Afterward, I gave them some probiotics (to make sure they had some good things there to compete with anything else that might want to colonize them), and I let them root in water. They both took longer to root than they probably would have had they not been zapped to root, but the Christmas cactus cuttings rooted first, followed by the Thanksgiving cactus cuttings, which took a while.
The probiotics I used were Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis, and acetic acid bacteria. I'm not saying these are recommended kinds of bacteria to inoculate plants with after zapping, but as long as they're not pathogenic, I imagine they might help to keep pathogens away.
I don't remember how many frequencies I used, but I must have used at least 2.5khz. I don't remember how long I zapped them, but it was in the order of minutes.
