I decided to propagate my beloved monstera plant, was looking for any advice for a somewhat beginner. Previous cuttings from the same plant are still doing well. Slothough I felt bad for the mother (who I chopped up) so I reported it and have left it in hopes it'll grow again, am I being silly repotting a cut up mother plant or is it possible to grow from this kinda trauma? I also have a cutting from a dumb cane ?? (I'm not too sure on the id there but) I'm hoping that'll grow too as the orginal plant didn't grow too healthily. Any advice is helpful! Thanks x

🥳🥳🥳🥳 Fiiiiiiiinally a successful rooting of my polka dot plant!!! All 3 cuttings have started rooting! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Does anyone know what this like translucent bubble is coming off of my propagations? 😭It’s only on some of them. I dipped them in rooting hormone before I stuck them in a while ago so maybe that’s it?? Side note: some of my propagations are finally growing roots so thank you to everybody who gave me some tips last time!!

Petals n pothos

I'm attempting to propagate a few really big sections of a golden pothos to eventually plant outside near the base of a giant silver oak in my front yard. I'm in South Florida and huge golden pothos are everywhere here. Does anyone have any idea how long it will take one this size to start to develop roots while propagating in water? With the smaller ones I've taken from outdoors it seems to be about 3-4 weeks to get solid root growth, so I'm just wondering if it works the same with leaves/nodes this big. Should I add fertilizer or root hormone?

Does anyone have an idea of what type of seed this is? They handed them out to the kids at the renaissance festival.

I am planning to propagate my big monstera. It just popped out a new leaf a few days ago. How long should I wait before chopping it? Thanks!

Took this beauty of a cutting from my friends philodendron as mine sadly returned to compost recently, was feeling a little to impatient to let her callus over so instead put the middle part of the stem into water - there’s also this little sprouting but where I cut that I believe is a new vine/leaf starting out as opposed to a Ariel root so was hoping it would grow but not sure if water can be pulled through a plant both ways (lots of nodes and a few small areal roots under the water level)

Lucky bamboo propagation? My plants tall now and debating getting another one or two from Ikea to add to her but I’m wondering how easily I could prop her..

I feel slightly dumb. I have had 4 pothos bunches in water for years now, with no growth. I even had them in my fish tank for a while to see if that helps. Can they not grow big and beautiful in water? Do I have to move them to soil?

Had a very stringy pothos jade and decided to chop it up and put it in moss. Also decided to chop the top off my rubber tree.

I've had this jade prop rooting in water for ever.. is she ready to plant yet? What else can I do to get more roots?

Has anyone ever hand pollinated an Aloe before? I’ve hand pollinated a thanksgiving cactus previously but I bet it’s a little different. Just looking for some advice :)

These are 5 separate monstera cuttings, ready to pot. I plan on using a mix of 2/3 cactus soil and 1/3 standard potting soil. Can I plant all 5 cuttings in a single pot? And if so, what size pot is ideal? Any tips on potting techniques or soil composition is welcome. Thanks yall!!! 🌱🪴🌞

I have a bunch of cuttings (species listed below) that are fully rooted and ready to be transferred to soil. How should i transfer them to soil?? I saw something saying to add soil to the water they are in right now, is that true? Please drop some good methods in comments!! (two jade pothos, one snow queen pothos with a lot of roots, and two pilea mollis) (Roots are at least 5 inches each)

What happened here? 😅 the left photo is the mother plant tradescantia nanouk, who wasn’t doing too good so I propagated her, and on the right is the baby plant. How and why are they almost looking like completely different plants? 😂 the baby’s leaves are much larger and do not have the variegation, even if both plants are getting the same amount of light. What is the science behind this?

I’ve heard a lot about putting pasta water in propagation containers for nutrients for the plants. I’ve been struggling to get my propagations to root. I have them in clear containers and the nodes are covered with water, the leaves are out of water and they are on an East facing window. I let the cuttings callus and then put some rooting hormone on them. They haven’t rotted or anything, but they also haven’t grown roots and it’s been a couple weeks. Any tips? Should I try the pasta water? My cuttings are mostly pothos if that helps anything

I have a dilemma my Chinese money plant 🌱 is growing only at the top. I am tempted to cut off the top and propagate it but I’m not sure if the mother plant will be ok without leaves? It went through a phase of dropping all bottom leaves.
