I just tore up my prayer plant (to water propagate what remains) because it hadn’t been doing well for a long times I found these seeds or maybe corms. Is there anything I can do with them?

I am new to succulents and have never tried propagating them. I had two of my potted plants drop leaves and it appears than one of them has already started to take root. I would love for both of them to propagate if possible but not sure what to do to encourage them. I moved both of them to a small pot with cactus soil but haven’t given them water since moving them. The leaf in the left is a Coppertone or Adolph sedum and the one on the right is a Topsy Turvy echeveria. Do they need any special attention? I just have them in a small plastic pot with drain holes but don’t know how frequent to water them since one has a tiny root and the other is just a leaf.

This is my patio Desert Rose. Her top is getting top heavy and wobbly. Is it normal to prune a Desert Rose by chopping its top, and can I propagate it? She’s pictured below, drinking from the tub right now.

Started my prop wall not too long ago it’s time to change the water but ignore that it’s calendared for tomorrow lol. These are heart plants, what other plant should I add that grows well in only water?

Hi everyone! I’m new to plants and someone is giving me a clipping from a string of hearts. What is the best way to get it rooted? TIA!

I repotted a Hoya Parasitica Splash from sphagnum moss to a home blended mix. The moss had soured with a few rotting roots that gave off a swampy rancid mud smell. It too a little effort with tweezers to remove the rot and all the moss. I don’t precisely measure each ingredient. I aim to get a mix that drains very well. I tend to use smaller size particles for small rooted cuttings. This combination contains coco coir, pumice left over from repotting cacti, worm castings, perlite, and orchid bark chips. I don’t use peat moss.

Hi! I got these cutting a few months ago. Last time I put some propagated pothos in leca balls it ended up dying. Should I put these in soil or leca again? If soil, what kind?

Had some stubborn cuttings that didn’t want to start rooting, so I put a few minnows in there from our neighborhood pond… fish poop for the win! 🐠💩

Hey Planta! Can anyone tell me what those white fuzz rings are? These are golden pothos props and I’ve been super excited to plant them, but this worries me. Please tell me it’s not mold.

In June I got clippings from someone and all have rooted except for the tricolor pictum, paraiso verde, and philo splendid. The pictum was put in water and even started having new leaves, but still no roots so I decided to recut the stem up a node and try again. The paraiso verde was given to me in coco coir, and also has yet to root or put out any sign of new growth. The splendid rooted, I put into soil, and it has completely stopped growing. Any tips? I really really want these plants to root🥲
