Do my propagations have root rot? I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but they don’t seem to be growing roots anymore 😭

Show me the Greens!Are they squishy? If they are, then yes most likely a bit of rot. Give them a good rinse… they look ok

Not too squishy. I rinsed them and put them in some fresh water so I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

MikeNeedsMorePlantsYou can plant a prop when the roots reach around 2 inches long, so that first little guy of yours is ready for soil! Propagation is a waiting game, but if your guy is pushing out at least one root (appears so for your monstera?) then in my experience that's a great sign. Highly recommend rooting hormone powder as well to speed up the process.

Oh awesome, I’ll get him planted today then and hopefully he’ll be okay. I’ll look into rooting hormone powder as well. Thank you for the advice!

To moniter root growth in soil, I like to give my propagations a little "tug" (kinda like you're pulling a weed but be gentle) and feel if there's any resistance. If your plant doesn't wanna come out, it's grown and established a root system that keeps it in the soil (yay!). Probs wait a week before you pull test to give it enough time to get used to its new environment 😉

If I do the tug test and it does want to come out, should I put it back in water?

Good question, and nope! That just means its roots haven't spread into the surrounding soil. Just let it do its thing. It's more a "peace of mind" kinda thing :)

SunnyStart fertilizing them with 50% diluted when roots appear. I add SuperThrive plant vitamins as well.
