Do you think this bromeliad pup is big enough to separate? I’m creating a terrarium and plan on mounting it on some cork bark.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to encourage root growth for snake plants?

I’m struggling!! My husband got me some starter plants for Christmas and I’m propagating them in water. Using Prop Drops and switching out water every 3-4 days with new Prop Drops. Out of the 7 plants, only 1 is rooting!!!! Some are under grow light- others aren’t (but by a window that gets part sun and no direct sunlight). They also have a humidifier. I’m adding photos and asking for so much guidance!

this is the first time i've successfully gotten a succulent prop to root... what do i do now? i've continued to mist it every few days but otherwise leave it alone, but i'm not sure when it's supposed to go into soil? (as in burying the roots)

I just bought this Melanochrysum and it hadn’t been staked properly leading to smaller leaves and leggy growth. I’ll attach pictures. I was gonna do a little chop n prop but I’m not sure where to start the cuttings from? Anyone with experience with this plant or just propagating in general please help! I want her to live up to her full potential, as right now she just isn’t. Still a stunning plant tho :)

Hi! I’m propagating some pothos in water and I need some advice on how to. My other ones died and I have no clue why. Thanks!

I was going to try propagating my pothos that is doing extremely well in my kitchen. Every vine has new growth on the tips. But when I looked it up, it seems like most places say not to propagate Pothos in the winter. I live in SouthEast Wisconsin. Should I try propagating or wait until spring?

Will baby Jade plants successfully grow in Perlite for a while, or is succulent soil right off better?

I’m attempting propagating basil from the grocery store. Is this a lost cause? If not, what should I change? Could I try this with other herbs?

I had lots of succulents that were dropping leaves and I wasn't sure that they would recover so I decided to try and propagate from the dropped leaves as some of them were already rooting, I only had standard potting soil so I planted about 15 in small seedling trays back in September time, these are the remaining ones that haven't rotted away, do I do something with them or just leave them be for longer *parent plant for photo tax

My tiny mung bean finally broke through the soil last night! I am so excited. Used a little clear cup so I can see when the roots need some more space ❤️

Hey y’all! I’ve been propagating this monstera and about to pot. But the roots are only growing out of one side. Anyone have any thoughts on if I should go ahead and pot or should I cut it and split it into two and try and propagate the side with no roots growing? Thanks in advance!

Cross posting: My sister gave me her Fiddle Leaf Fig to rehab. Should I try to propogate this? If so, how do you successfully propogate these? Thanks!

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?
