Anyone have any tips for propagating polka dot plants? I seemed to have killed my third oneā¦.. Iāve got many nodes under water and placed it I. The same place as the mother plant. Do should I be using a humidity dome or something? They always seem to wilt then dry up really fast. She had about 7-8 leaves on her when I started.
Itās funny because I tried last week and nopeā¦ nothing. They ended up dying.
2 gillningar Iām wondering if maybe this is what they do and all of a sudden roots will appear and I just have to be patient but Iām not so sureā¦. The internet makes it seem so easy!
1 gillaPolkadot plants are another species I have completely given up on. I breathed too hard one time when I was across the room and it died.
4 gillningar Awww sorry about your polka dot. They do seem super hard!!!! This one was doing fine under a grow light, then decided she wanted to be leggy, did that twice. Then decided to start dying so got moved to my SW corner, and perked upā¦. Then started dying again. Now sheās gone leggy and spindly again! I canāt figure her out!!!! ššš but she was my hubs first fave so Iām trying hard to sort her.

Donāt take propagations from a thirsty plant. Thatās what it looks like. Make sure you always do it a day after watering. Some plant that need a lot of humidity and water usually have this issue with propagation you could also try misting the propagation every day.
2 gillningar Ooooooh ok Iāve never checked to see if it was thirsty before. But that makes sense. Usually with this plant the props Iāve gotten were props of opportunity, not ones on purpose. Next time Iāll def check first and good to know I can mist them too!

Woah!!! A month!! Thatās a slow grower!!! She looks super healthy still. Hope you get roots soon!

Iāve never had luck water propagating but if you put it in a container with sphagnum moss itāll start growing roots in no time! They are similar to nerve plants and thrive in a terrarium environment
0 gillningar Oooh!!! Good to know!!! Iāll have to try some spag moss. One leaf is still kiiiinda holding on so Iām not giving up yet.
