Hey! Do you guys think my pothos propagations look ready to plant in soil, or should I let it continue growing in water for a while longer? One of the cuttings has really good roots and a fair amount of secondary roots, but I am aware the other one is still a little shrimpy. The one I’m holding in the second picture is the larger one to get a better angle to show the secondary roots.
I’ve been kind of hoping on planting the two together, but what do you guys think? Do they both look okay to plant, just the big one, or let both of them propagate longer?

Hi hi! I'm still a beginner at plants so sorry if my post isn't clear. Right now, I'm trying to propagate a few echeverias. I'm trying to see if I'm doing it right. Do I need to mist them more often? I know roots are a good sign but will it take longer for the pups to form? The pic with the pups grown haven't really grown much, but I read online that it could take a while before they actually grow more. Any additional tips? Thanks for the help ahead of time! 💚

Hey … So Ive had this Chinese momey tree for soem time now. I have done 3 propagation from it. However, I cant seperate these two big ones. I wanted opinions on if i should just transfer it whole to a bigger pot or should i cit off the top stem ( mother ) and place it water and leave all the babies growing as is .. let me know yall thought or suggestions

I'm taking a propagation class starting in January. Reply with your burning propagation questions and I'll ask the professor.

Anyone in the Massillon Ohio area have cuttings/props you want to purge?

So my Peperomia Ginny decided to go completely wild and put out a dozen flower spikes all at once. I've never pollinated a Peperomia and couldn't resist.
If anyone else has successfully grown Peperomia from seed or has any tips on how long to wait before checking for seed development, I would love to hear what I should look for next.
I tried a little bit of everything over the last week. I started out with the classic fine paintbrush method over a sheet of black paper to actually see if I was catching any dust, and then I ended up just gently rubbing the adjacent spikes together since so many of them grew right next to each other in pairs.
Honestly, I have no idea if any of these are going to take or if I will actually get viable seeds out of it, but it has been such a fun experiment to watch.

Have a philodendron cutting from a friend - had great roots but it’s been planted for 6 weeks or so and hasn’t done anything! Any recommendations? Should I repot it?

These Maranta lemon lime cuttings are almost ready. By far the speediest water cuttings I’ve ever taken. These have only been in here 2 weeks! I used Southside root drops. My main plant is looking good, but baldheaded with only 2 branches, so I’m going to plant a couple of these back in to fill it out.
Did I just get lucky or do Maranta’s really pop out roots quick?

Ok yall, I’ve officially gone crazy. This is a sassafras propagation I just started. I haven’t ever seen anyone propagating it and when I looked it up there were very limited resources so I’m kinda just winging it right now. It seems to be doing ok enough though the nodes are starting to branch out. I’m concerned about the health of its leaves though. This is a wild propagation so it was exposed to bugs and animals before I got it

Assistant Gardner is a 4 yo and we had an accident - monstera leaf came off right at where it joins the stem.
Any way to salvage this or is it a lost cause?

Got this gorgeous monstera adansonii and noticed what I think is root growth on one of the nodes? Should I chop n prop or should I leave it be what would yall do

Got this beautiful pothos cutting from a friend a few months ago , how long should I wait to cut some off to propagate more to make it bushy!

Uh oh! I think my echeveria prop might be rotting. Can anyone confirm or is this normal how it looks? I’ve still not gotten a rosette and it’s been about 7 months old. The cracks slowly started developing as did its curve so I’m not sure what I did wrong. It has roots and is well rooted just not little bulb to say it’s going to start sprouting.

4 new propagations from Terracotto plants in Chicago! Really excited for these.

Propagations are all ready for fall!🍂 Hoping to have some beautiful matured plants ready in the spring (or before)!

I had a rather bulky snake plant w/lots of pups I needed to separate. Ive never had success with propagation (soil or water). Any suggestions? In Ohio Zone 6 (they are inside).

Question about transitioning to soil for you all! The first photo is of my ready-to-plant philodendron basil cuttings. I wanted to gift this to my mom. I ended up having to cut more off my mother plant because I had one vine that had gotten so long it was sitting on my kitchen counter. The other two photos are where the roots are currently for the second set of cuttings. All in all I have 17 cuttings to pot up for her in the hopes of giving her a full established plant. I am visiting her on 11/2 so I’d like to have it potted up by then. So I’ve got 9 days left!
Do you all think there is enough time for more roots to grow in on the second set? If she kept it moist would they continue to root in soil? She’s been caring for plants her whole life so she is able to continue care just fine.
Weekly water changes, root drops added, and living under grow lights
Side note, if I don’t take this to her on my upcoming trip, it’ll have to wait until Christmas. Which is fine but I really want to give it to her now.

How do I prepare a Canna Lilly for winter?
Buckolena
Trying to start some new propagations.
Do I need to give all of these Christmas cactus starts more room or will they at least start like this then I can give them more room when I see which ones will even live?
