I’ve had success propagating snake plants in water in the past, but this time around I’m not getting any roots at all. I did let them callus for 2 days before putting them in water but they seemed to just rot still. I cut off an inch and am letting them callus again as I’m going to try in soil. Any suggestions are appreciated. I don’t want these babies going to waste!

Not having much luck propagating a scindapsus cutting in water. The leaves are curling and have some spots. Any suggestions?

My teacher has put me in charge of her plants for the rest of the year because she said I seem to know more about it than her! And I’m wondering how to propagate an aloe Vera?

I recently (Saturday) propagated my monstera and the cutting is all droopy. Is this normal?

I think my indoor coleus seed sowing was a success...

hi everyone!!
so i have had a satin pothos cutting in water trying to propagate it for over a month now & it’s still not growing any roots. am i doing something wrong or is this normal? i was expecting it to take 2-4 weeks, but its probably been 6 & there’s not even a peek of a root popping out yet!
edit: i used filtered water & i do not have rooting powder so didnt use any of that. i’m thinking maybe i need to cut it closer to the node?

Hey everyone,
Quick question, this is a bamboo plant that ended up rotting at the stems. I cut it off and propagated the remaining piece which has grown extremely long roots (about 2 inches). I know these plants are often left in water but should I switch it to soil already?

When should I separate these guys and move them into their own little pots? I don't want to disturb them too soon!

Help! My string of pearls is fighting against root rot and fungas gnats. How do I save them? I'm not sure how to propagate these guys.

Is there a way to mark a plant as a prop on the app? I’d love to see propagation-specific care instructions while my babies are growing.

I may have gotten carried away this evening with chopping to prop 😬

Ok, I'm ashamed to say I've never propagated anything, but I needed to help my dieffenbachia reflector. It was growing outwards and needed a trim. I trimmed it down to the bottom of the stems, then took the tops of those pieces and made a whole new plant. The other pieces I layed flat on some dirt. Is this the way?

Hi does anyone know if this fuzziness is mold or normal rooting??
plantgeek
Is she salvageable? No before pics, but her base looked like it was rotting and I trimmed the mushy parts, as well as pruned back rotting roots. I had her in soil before, but I'm moving her to water.
Valentine Aglaonema if that helps

I went on a mass murduring session and chopped up some of my plants! Muahaha

Hi!! I have a beautiful sansevieria named Shoeshine and wanted to propagate him so there's more around the house 😃 I've watched quite a few YouTube videos about the best way to do this once cut - water vs soil. What do y'all think? Right now these pieces have been sitting for about a day. I heard you should let the wound dry for a couple of days, so I'll want to put them in something today. I'm thinking of trying both ways - put some in water and some in soil, then see which does better. Some people have said water props grow roots faster though 🤔 I'm just not sure. Any thoughts are helpful! Thanks! 🐢

Hi there! New plant girly and even newer propagation parent here! I accidentally killed my watermelon peperomia by overwatering her (I leaned my lesson) and decided to try to propagate her in water to see if I could bring her back. The cuttings have been in water for just shy of 3 weeks (suctioned on my window - white background put in just for the photos so you can easily see the roots) and here is where we’re at with each one! I’ve done some research on my questions below but there’s so much conflicting information I figured I’d go ahead and just ask.
Here are my questions:
• are they ready to transition to soil yet, or do they need to stay in the water longer? If so, how much longer/how do I know when they’re ready?
• I see a few baby leaves popping up in the water - do these get planted in the soil too along with the roots, or do I wait until they’re bigger and do something else with them??
• when I do plant, I know I have to keep the soil pretty wet for awhile do get them acclimated to being out of water and in soil - do you recommended using regular potting soil for this, or do I immediately put them in specialized soil as I would when repotting a store bought plant? Just nervous here with over/underwaterjng when transferred.
Any advice/help/good vibes are appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Never had this happen with philodendron, this plant arrived healthy and immediately declined. Leaves feel thin and flimsy and he wilted within hours. Any advice? Don’t want to lose this guy

I received a peace Lilly for my birthday, it has one bloom now. The roots are showing at the bottom of the pot, when should I repot it?
