Anyone ever grow eucalyptus from seed? I have seeds for a dwarf variety that's said to make a good houseplant but I have no idea what they want and I haven't been able to find much good info. Variety is Moon Lagoon and germination was pretty good: 75%.

The children, they are alive!! I nearly jumped when I saw the green buds coming out of the wet stick cuttings of a jade I stuck into some soil:D 🌿

Help. Got this cutting when I got another plant. When is this spider plant ready for soil and how/where do I plant it?

Another very tall and leaning monstera here. Where would be best to cut to propagate? TIA! 🪴

Should/can this monstera be propagated and if so, where would be best to cut? I love them! But they always start to lean outward and take up so much space 😑 TIA!

This monstera is a complicated mess 🙈 can anyone help me determine where I can cut to propagate and how many? About 5 or 6 long, overgrown, roots too. Not sure if I should cut these or try to stick them all in the soil? TIA! 🌱

I got a black velvet elephant start from a friend. It had been in water with a good root system. I put it in dirt last night and by morning the leaves were curled and dying. Is this plant hopelessly a goner????

Finally got around to digging up and propagating my Colocasia (elephant ear). It’s my first time trying to propagate using the method, and it’s been very cold recently, but I’m hoping for the best. If anyone has any advice, I’d be happy to hear it. Should I sterilize the cuts in any way? Charcoal?

Should I try to separate the babies? Should I wait for them to be bigger? Just want them all to survive 👍 Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

How do I trim my foxtail fern and my gardenia?

My first attempt at propagation and the echeveria and burro’s tail leaves are finally starting to sprout. Do I leave them on the soil like this - or do something to help them root and grow? TIA

Can this plant be propagated? I’ve tried to propagate, but the cutting just withered. I don’t want to keep cutting if it won’t do anything. Any suggestions on the best way for this plant?

I didn't pay close enough attention in the past few days, but my prop water grew algae and it is all over the roots (I was going to pot up this weekend). I moved them to clean water, but how do I remove the algae before potting? Thanks!

My string of turtles started doing poorly and in an effort to repot, a lot of it fell apart. I ended up put the strands on a tray inside a plastic bag and some in a small pot with a dome lid. Both seem to be thriving in the greenhouse set up. Any tips on how to move them into a set up where they can hang and not be trapped in a ziploc??

I recently bought Haworthia seeds on Etsy. I did get some that were from variegated parents but I have a sprout that I need help identifying. Is this albino, is this variegated? What’s up with this lil guy? Thanks

My mom cut me a few bits off her Christmas cactus she got after my grandmother passed. I’m new to keeping plants alive, I’ll be devastated if I can’t keep at least one of the cuttings alive. Can anyone help me?

Im trying to revive my poor little rootless pothos in just water and it has this odd slimy film on it. Is that good or should I rinse it off?
