This is my boyfriends moms amaryllis (I think that’s how you spell it) and it blossomed once or twice before and we’re wondering if this is a seed that we can propagate or what it is.

Hello lovelies! I have this plant, one of my faves… an “Alternanthera ficoidea ‘Partytime’”. I’ve propagated them before and this one growth is particularly leggy. I’m wondering if I could cut her and root her, do you think a stem with no leaves would give out new leaves? Or would it be the death of that stem? Pic of original plant and plant as is right now. Curious about cutting the long stalky stem on the left of second pic. If you did, where would you cut it? She’s very dramatic but roots quite easily…

Birkin is growing roots from “inside” instead of bottom. Is this normal or a bad sign?

Three week Maranta prop update 👨🏾‍🌾 Half of the cuttings have decent roots now. Those are going back in with parent plant. The other half isn’t quite ready yet, but I do see some new growth points activating. Will give those another couple weeks in the prop station.

We shall see if this works for me this time. I'm sowing cat grass (some unlabeled type of oat grass)oregano, basil, and parsley all to go in a three tiered planter on one tier. I'm still kinda wondering what to do for the other top one. I figured, cat grass all on the bottom, basil, oregano, and parsley can take up the second and I may even do marigolds or some petunias or something on top. Once they sprout and get a little bigger with a suitable root ball, I'll move them to their permanent home if these peat containers hold up

Any advice on how to plant this and it thrive? I’m new to planting props so I don’t know the best way to go about this. Usually I take it out of water and put it right in soil but everything I did that to died 🙃 Is it even ready to go in soil?

Bought this plant (pothos I believe?) exactly like this and haven’t known what to do with it. If I keep it in water, how do I keep it healthy? I don’t know how to describe much about the plant haha, I’m very very new to plants. I’ll attach more pictures, please let me know anything you notice or any advice you have!!

Sooo I managed to kill my beautiful Tornado Dracaena (didn’t water it for a while then gave it too much water). These leaves are the only ones that survived. Are they propogateable? (Is that even a word? 🤔)
