I got so lucky today and the kind dude at my local nursery gave me a cutting of this Philodendron ‘Pink Princess’ after he heard me gushing over it and comparing prices. I’m completely new to propagating and my other water propagations have rotted so I’m trying straight into soil. Is this ok or should I really be trying to get roots from putting it in water? It had two little arial roots attached before I put it into dirt. I’m about to go away for a week and didn’t anticipate finding this or getting a cutting, is there anything I should tell my roommate to be aware of? I have it on my patio, close to the back wall where there’s no direct sunlight but the handrail still gets some rays so it’s bright imo. I have it in a mix of soil and perlite. She has some slight crisping in Any advice is extremely appreciated!

i am generally able to identify different plant variations myself, especially philodendrons, but the more i look at my ring of fire as it matures, i’m wondering if it’s actually a caramel marble, or one of the stems is (the back one, farthest from the window, particularly. the stems are not attached to each other, and have never been since i purchased it)… it’s in a west facing window (and has been for 2+ years), so i don’t know how it would be so sun stressed, especially in the back. anyone have a strong opinion on it? regardless, im obsessed w her and her blooms 🥹

Ten days since the chop 🪓 Still awaiting roots, otherwise still perky and vibrant as ever.

I got this philo persimmon on Thursday. It was in a box for maybe 3 - 4 days. AI has suggested that I replant it in water propagation or perlite. I’m not sure what do any suggestions?

What is your favorite kind of philodendron, and best names you thought of for them?

My pink princess doesn’t have any roots. I thought this was one but its a lost cause. It had two little leaves and idk how they havent died. I put it water to start over but nothing had happened (08/28). Ive been told that what I have submerged in water wont ever grow roots, I have to cut underneath where the leaves are growing and put that in water. What do you guys think?

Hoping to convince this variegated leaf too push new growth. It hasn't before.

Propagated a Pluto I allowed to grow all summer 😂 now I understand how it works I think, so giving it a fresh shot meanwhile get to keep developing this one.

This beautiful white princess has new growth but also has these brownish leaves. What could I be doing wrong.
