My Alocasia stingray farm!!! The corms are rooting well in water and sprouting leaves. Maybe time to plant in sphagnum to transition to soil? My other props in this pic are also doing great 😊

Just picked up this monstera. First time with these plants not yet in soil. Was rooting in moss. Planning to move it into mix of pearlite/moss/fluval aquarium stratum. How do I know how often to mist/water? Also concerned with black spot on side of stem but it is not squishy nor are any of the roots. All tips/comments welcome. Thanks!

I’m new to plants in general and I’ve only successfully propagated 1 jade plant leaf before this. I had no idea what i was doing but now that I have this app I would love to get some tips and help when it comes to jade plants specifically. I got this bunch 2-4 days ago have been letting them sit but a few are turning dark purple/black at the tip. Is there something im doing wrong or anything i could do to improve the process?

Takeout prop box! My silver dragon alocasia corms are JUST starting to put out their first leaves and I’m so excited! The succulent leaves were found on the ground of Walmart, I know one is an aloe vera but I’m looking forward to seeing what they grow into.

Been trying to propagate this scindapsus; is this root rot? I did cut it from the mother plant that later died of root rot. Should I just toss or try to save?

My Alocasia maharani hadn’t pushed out anything new since its last bloom stalk, and I was starting to get worried. A week or two ago I noticed a little corm growing out of the soil. Should I leave it attached to the mother plant, or remove it to let the main plant have more energy for itself? The one leaf the plant still has started yellowing a few weeks ago (as you can see), which I assume is because it’s trying to grow everything. Thank you for any advice!!

To propagate or not to propagate! That is the question? First timer here! I guess my question is would you guys prop in water or prop in soil? And do I let the bottom of the leaf dry before I propagate? Any help is greatly appreciated! And ignore the puper bum in the photo, her names Nova and she decided she didnt want to move!

My projects at my boyfriend’s apartment are doing so well 🥹 Sadly, my avo plant at his apartment looks better than the one at mine 😭😅

How do I handle potting this lucky bamboo? Roots are spouted at each segment. Do I cut this at each section? Do I just pot and bury all of the roots?

Timeline of my pink splash caladium. I am so in love with her and she’s the first plant I’ve grown from a bulb. Not exactly propagating but I’m so proud. 🥹🩷✨

Does anyone have pothos propagating tips? my cuttings keep dying instead of rooting. I have two going right now and both the stems are turning brown and mushy.

Just a thought: can you propagate peace lilies?? I really want to give some to my sisters.

I’ve always loved how fiddle leaf figs look, but because of their reputation as being hard to keep alive I’m a bit hesitant to buy one just for it to die as soon as I get it home…😂 anyone got any tips as I’m a beginner plant parent! Thanks
