Does anyone have any tips for how to get the best results when moving propagations into soil?

So… no matter what, DONT do that thing where ppl slowly pour soil into the water jar. It will just promote mold/algae growth and starve the water of oxygen, killing your prop.

Usually I just transplant the prop straight into soil. I’ll be watering it more frequently during the first month or so, and after that, it should be fine. How frequently depends on what kind of plant you propped.

Do you have photos/an ID for your prop?
