I really want to grow a giant elephant ear, from the bulb, and I was wondering if you guys had any tips before I buy the bulbs!!

Any tips on propagating a Hoya linearis?? I’m one who loves water propping so I was thinking going that route— but I’ve seen people have success with just chopping & putting it back in the soil.

Proplifted a bunch of cuttings from my friend’s plants (with permission of course 😉) and let them callous and now in water! This is my first go at water propping so any advice is welcome and appreciated! Most of them are Hoyas (the left has a monsters peru and a dragon tail rhaphidaphora that I have had in water for awhile now). I’m relatively new to collecting and love Hoyas so I would really like to see these guys root! Oh, I also heard that putting a cutting of pothos in can help, so each bunch has a pothos cutting.

For propagating succulents, does the parent leaf fall off by itself or are you supposed to pluck it off at some point? Thanks!

Plantie friends! I need some advice, I just got this cutting last night. I believe it’s a Shell Ginger. Should I place it in water or perlite to grow roots? 🪴🫶🏽

I wanna propagate these bear’s paw leaves, I know youre supposed to let it callous over, but should I be doing anything after they do? and how long do they usually take to grow another sprout/roots?

Has anyone successfully propagated an arrowhead plant ?

Ok so I chopped up my Swiss cheese philo and put it in water. Will the old nodes/aerial roots start growing again? Or do I need to put my baby in soil?

Hi. My husband had a very tall and leggy jade plant which hadn't been getting enough light. These are all bits I cut from the tops a few days ago; can I pop them straight in soil now or should I wait for tiny shoots?

Hello, does anyone have any advice on how to propagate this Monstera Deliciosa? I have put it in water already, but are there any other steps I can take to prevent any problems like rotting?

Thomas Martinez

Is there any way I can safely handle and propigate a gooseberry plant? My son won’t stop eating them and the original plant is dying.

Is there any saving the little last root of my peace lily? It got root rot and I cut it all off and put hydrogen peroxide on it. I had it in soil and changed it to water.

Anyone know what this is? I used a plant app called “seek” that’s usually really good at identifying but the one it’s coming up with doesn’t seem right.

So I recently got a bunch of cuttings and need to root them. I decided to make a prop box with sphagnum moss and perlite for most of them but kept the pictum and a piece of the baltic blue pothos in water. I need all the tips for prop boxes and propagation! I also coated the roots in a rooting hormone for the ones I put in the box. I’m just so nervous that they won’t root for some reason since I’ve always rooted in water lol! p.s. the prop box is on my patio (not in direct sun) bc it is very warm and humid outside right now
