Hi, I have a very tall Dracaena Lemon Surprise that is very healthy on the top but his lower leaves are dying. Is it possible to cut his top off and propagate it to save him? Thank you!

I almost never cut my plants, but my raindrop peperomia was getting really leggy and could only ever seem to keep 3 leaves at a time, so I lopped it in half about a month ago and both plants are now flourishing!

I am kind of new to plants and am very scared of pruning 😅 I watched a LOT of videos before deciding to prune my baby rubber plant (Claire is her name). It was growing a long thin stem and I wanted it to be bushier and heavier so hopefully the pruning and propagating will help. I hope I did this right, I cut right above a leaf and I now have 2 stems and 2 leaves in water and the main plant has 3 leaves left.

Got this prop from a friend when I wanted a “baby” monstera & I love it! Already going to have to start training growth upwards

Did I do this right? I had more propagation cutting of this v.SOH but it all rotted in water so I put what I had left in this small 2” terracotta pot. I had it wet and put it inside the jar. Today I checked on it and even more was rotted. Just repotted it all with new dry soil, got the pot wet with a damp paper towel, then I let droplets of water off my fingertips water it. I didn’t mist any water inside the jar, but all what I said I did. I then just put it back inside the jar. It’s underneath my grow light that’s only about 6-8” away from the pot.

I need to cold stratify some seeds but I'm worried because last time I tried, the seeds got moldy. Any tips?

I am currently propagating several plants. Something I have never done before. I have a piece of Rubber Plant that I have in water and I was told to leave it there for a while, changing the water weekly. A Nanouk that is doing very well with very little effort. I have another Snake plant so I am treating the baby the same way - I accidentally dropped this one and broke one stem and another curled up. Finally, I have a Philodendron that I am crossing my fingers and hoping it survives.

I just detached some aloe pups from their parents and would like to know whether I should propogate in water first until I see roots or put directly in soil after they callus?

Where do I cut my chunky Philodendron Birkin to propogate?

I propagated my pepperomia rosso from leaf cuttings a few months back, and recently noticed 3 variegated leafs, with a 4th on the way. I know plants can revert from variegated to non variegated, but how is it possible the other way around. 🤔 Mother plant in 1st pic

Best way to propagate African violet leaves. I just dropped mine and broke a bunch of leaves off so sad.

Are baby rubber plants easy to propagate? I want to make this one bushier so thinking of cutting the top two leaves with the nodes and prop in water.

Hi all! This guy is a prop I put into soil a few months back. It's been doing great - lots of lovely new leaves. Recently it's started turning yellow from the bottom up and I lost the lowest two leaves already. I'm not sure what happened/changed - no new fertilizer, nothing. Any ideas?

Hi, me again! Haha. I have 3 inch plant cuttings who all have roots now and I want to put them in this pot. Do I make 3 separate holes or do I put them all in 1 center hole?

Can I cut from this stem and add it to my main pot for a secondary branch?

Hi everyone! I'm gonna need a bit of advice here, to make sure this jade plant cutting i took home today stays happy and healthy:) I have two parts of a stem: one long stick with roots but no leaves (one lil pup at the base, too), and a rootless portion of a stem with a bunch of large leaves on it. What would be the best way to propagate it? I was thinking of trying all four ways, (1) planting the already rooted part of the stem into soil, (2) cutting the upper portion up and planting the nodes in the ground too. (3) Also planting the rootless part, and (4) also plucking off individual leaves and propping those too. Let me know what method works best! And thank you so much:)🪴🧡🌿
