Trying to see if I can develop some propagations from my mother’s spider plant. The original plant was overrun with baby props so we’ll see how many will survive and become my new little spiders. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤩

🌵🐰 Propagating these bunny cactus pads without sacrificing my fingers to the spike gods 😂🌵 Any tips for the best way to handle and propagate them without getting covered in tiny spikes? And I need your advice… once they’ve callused over, would you plant them straight into soil, or is it better to start them in water first? 🌱💧 What’s worked best for you? I’d love to hear your tips! 👇✨

can i get some advice please 🙏 it's my first real venture into propagating (i've successfully propped a pilea so far) and i'm trying to prop my rubber plant and my string of hearts for my rubber plant, ive seen no progress whatsoever in over 2 weeks and there are these white spots (are they roots? it is an infection? i have 0 idea) for my string of hearts, do they develop secondary roots or is this how they grow? i've been propping this one for about a month now and this is the progress any advice would be very much appreciated as i'm new to this and not sure if it doing it all right 😅 both are under grow lights and in an ikea cabinet

Hi plant friends! Did I do this prop correctly in LECA? I know I’ve been told this plant can take a long time to prop, but I feel like months is too long. And the bottom nodes sometimes rot in water prop so I thought I’d switch it up for a chance to save this. I was thinking the nodes sit within the LECA, but the water is under the nodes to not saturate the nodes but more for humidity to promote rooting..? TIA for any help out guidance 🤗

This marble pothos has been a twig in water for 2 months now with no change. I was literally walking over to throw him away when I saw this green!! I can’t believe it! Also, is anyone else using thrifted shot glasses for water propagation? 😅

🌱🌱 Look at these little babies! 😍💚 Should I pop them in water or soil to propagate first, or do you think it’s still too early to separate them? I’d love to hear what you’d do! 🪴

This mama plant has been busy! 🌱💕 She’s produced so many babies, and I’ve already repotted 11 of them! I’m wondering what everyone recommends — should I leave some of the babies attached to mama, or is it better to separate and repot them once they’re established? Any tips are welcome! 🪴

So I have this Aolcasia nobillis. She started out with this gorgeous pink variegation & currently has only two (still gorgeous) green and white leaves. Any ideas on what happened?

Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree I first purchased my Fiddle Fig plant at Lowe’s on clearance for $3. As you see my Fiddle Fig leaf tree has thrived and now has gotten very tall. I do believe it’s time for me to propagate, but I’m scared. I know it will be so good for her, but I’m just afraid to do what needs to be done 🫣 Can anyone off me some advice on getting out of my own way and just give my girl the hair cut she needs.

I’ve propagated a handful of plants but I’ve never seen leaves growing under water. Is this normal? I’m wondering how I’ll pot it if the roots are higher than the leaves.

So about a week and a half ago I propagated my monstera plant. I now have two plants with established roots. I’m not sure what to do next to make sure I have a large plant with fenestrations leaves, any recommendations?
