Hi plant friends! The top of my Kathmandu senecio fell off and I’m hoping I can propagate it. The only succulent propagations I have experience with have been from individual leaves on the shorter/thicker succulent types. Propagating from a stem is new to me! I’ve seen a few things online for either placing in soil or trying to root in water first. Any advice is appreciated ¨̮

Hello all! I am propagating a philodendron and, while I’ve been waiting to give the branches to a friend, the roots have gotten a little…. Overgrown. I now am noticing these little white tufts (looks like little cotton balls?) that are lined up on the roots. Is this just more roots growing or is it something to be concerned about? Thank you!

Every time I try to propagate (this is a philodendron Brasil) the ends turn yellow and never root. What am I doing wrong?? Those are aerial roots that had already grown when I cut it

I am attempting to grow these little sprouts that snapped off my porthos, I just have them in water and I put a teeny bit of fertiliser in there too. They are currently in the window that gets all the morning sunlight. Am I doing this right?

Praying these babies take! Had to eventually chop the spiderettes off my big spider plant to help her through the winter and propagated a small amount of them 🥰

Been trying to propagate clippings of my snake plant (since the bottoms of the plants have been blistering with water from the bottom of the leaves) so I chopped the healthy tips off but as they sit in the water(and rooting hormone) they are soaking up water. Any tips? I tried letting them callus for a week as well. Too much water? Should I just try to plant directly in dirt?

Hello! I received this cutting from a friend and am not sure what to do next! Shall I wait until spring to toss her in dirt? What size pot should she go in? Thanks :)

For those of you waiting on the edge of your seats…prayer plant cutting update. A new leaf is emerging and roots are about an inch long! Would y’all put it in soil right about now or keep waiting?
