Almost lost my PPP so I decided to chop and prop. Now i have 4 PPP and these two wet sticks rooting. We are so good at what we do 🤩

Do I cut the black tips off or no? I’ve read online to cut them off and then soak in diluted hydrogen peroxide solution for 10 minutes. But then I’ve also read it is normal. It is golden pothos cuttings.

This entire string came from one strand of three leaves propagated in water. This is my 3rd attempt at this plant and I’ve finally got it! She even put out a flower 🄲

Day one of propagating. This is my first time propagating so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Pet friendly plants of course especially as my cat loves to ā€œhelpā€

It’s almost time to start transplanting my 100+ plants. Today I started mixing my own soils to save money. The big trash can is filled with my all purpose potting mix and the bin below it is a tropical blend. Can’t wait to transplant all my babies and see how they flourish!

I have a pink fittonia which I got recently that I’m nursing back to health as it was from a Walmart. I want to propagate it soon and I don’t know when or how I should do that. Any advice is appreciated!

I got this propagated little guy at a plant sale a while back…neglected for quite a while. Had in a tiny pot, repotted…I just can’t tell how it’s doing. I’m wondering if I could successfully take it out of the pot and put it back in just water and see if the root system strengthens, then repot? I am seriously such a newborn about plants. Learning as I go. Thanks!

Are they long enough to put in soil,or should I wait? Also , Any recommendations for soil mix for marantas?

My local grocery store is selling Aloe and Prickly Pear cactus (for cullinary purposes), but in theory could I buy one of each and propagate it?

I was able to get this string of dolphins from my local Home Depot. FYI, I did ask if I could take it. It was laying on the shelf. :)

Just got a golden pothos and want to propagate. Cut two leaves just below the node last week and put them in some water. They’re already starting to look like they’re rotting :( any tips to better propagate?
