The first two pictures are from when I first got this clipping. The second two pictures are the clipping now. I know this needs to sit in water for a little bit longer to get stronger. What are my next steps and what do I look for to pot it? What should I look for when it comes to time to pot it?

Recently chopped my chalksticks down, as getting a bit long and have use the chopped parts to propogate. From what I have read online the chopped parts should continue to grow. I am presuming this will come from a leaf node but do I need to remove the top leaves to promote this or fine to leave as is?

Hello! Can I propagate this by cutting and replanting in cactus and succulent soil? I would like to use a small off shoot on the top.

I was gifted this pothos and she was grown mostly in water. I eventually transferred her to soil and she’s been doing fantastic! I would like to separate this top portion and also plant it into the soil to give the little pot she’s in a bit more volume. I’d like some guidance on how best to do that Do I chop and put it in water? Should I wait for some more growth and just wrap her around the pot?

I wish Planta had a “Fair” option for our plant care. Several Of mine are not in Good but Fair condition… Hopefully to improve their health!!!

How do you propagate string of pearls? I have a string of pearls that is mostly dead with one strip of pretty pearls left. I want to try to propagate this section. I have tried before in just water but it did not work. How have yall propagate these???

UPDATE: roots appear to coming in nicely. I added some basil to propagate and will be potting these all shortly! First time propagating my baby spider plants. Looks like I’m seeing roots forming! Should I wait another week or so to add to soil? Any tips are appreciated!

Hi! This is the first time my spider plant has put out these baby plants. When’s a good time to remove and propagate them?

I’m so excited my fiddle fig propagation has taken root. Do you all think I should ADD the new plant to the pot with the parent or give it its own pot??

While moving my Peperomia obtusifolia ‘marble’ yesterday, a leaf fell off, and while I know it’s a long shot for growth, I decided why not try to propagate? I got a super old seedling tray my mom had lying around and poked holes in it, poked a couple holes in the top of the lid for air flow, filled it with some succulent soil I had laying around, and planted the leaf! I’ll make sure to update you all, though this certainly might end with the leaf just dying. I know the soil isn’t the best, but I didn’t have any moss or perlite around and I honestly wasn’t going to buy more for a leaf that might not make it 🥲 Any advice for this little one’s future care would be very appreciated! Sorry for the super long post
