Been propagating this variegated baby Sun rose for about a month now on a full sun windowsill. She hasn’t grown much, but developed some roots, and then today I woke up to find she bloomed a flower! 🌺 I just want to make sure it’s not due to stress and it’s purely because she’s happy :) I’ve never had a flowering propagation before!

Wondering if anyone has any tips for planting propogated string of hearts vines and having them actually take - I find that 50% of the ones I plant just shrivel up even though they have good roots on them

My current propagations ❤️ 2 different kinds of pothos, golden child ivy, and Tradescantia! I’ve never done ivy before though, does anyone have tips? Does it prop like other plants? They have these tiny tiny root looking things on one of the stems!

My watermelon dischidia is growing very well this summer! I want to propagate some of it so I can have her in other parts of the house as well. I’ve never propagated a plant before, so I don’t want to mess it up. Any help would be amazing and greatly appreciated!!!

Help! I accidentally let my croton sunny star dry out so the bottom leaves fell off. How do I make it less leggy?

Was reading up on pruning my new lemon tree. I purchased one that apparently has this “sucker” at the base that should be trimmed off. Can I prop it? And, if so, water or soil?

Hi there, I rescued this money tree for three dollars and three leaves on him at the end of the season a year ago. His name is Negan. I repotted him and watered sparingly he’s in a chunky soil but now you can see he’s very full and he’s about 3 feet tall and thriving. Any ideas on how I can propagate him and how to braid his branches would be greatly appreciated 🥰🥰

Recently propagated my pothos for the first time. The cuttings have been in water for 2 weeks now. How long should I wait for the roots to get before potting in soil? Do I have too many cuttings in the glasses (15-20)? Thanks.

I gave my scindapsus a much needed haircut and am going to try and propagate. Did I bundle the node pieces correctly and do I just drop them in water and let them root?

Hey y’all! About a month ago I asked for some help with propagating this guy and I wanted to share an update and thank you all! I wasn’t able to get as many cuttings as I wanted but the ones I did take are doing super well (I think but correct me if they look wonky)! I’ve got a couple of 2 inch roots on some and some new shoots starting to form on all of them! When do you think it’s appropriate to plant them? I don’t want to rush it but also I’m getting eager because I’ve never had this success in propagations before :)

Hey there! After a month of waiting I finally got my first slips. I’m wondering if I should transfer it to a pot so more slips can grow?? Any advice would be appreciated! 🌹

Bought this Heart Leaf explicitly to see how many cuttings I can get out of it. What's your guess?

Good morning all! I propagate in water and am looking for any suggestions for a water-soluble root hormone. I would love to transition to a FoxFarm fertilizer in general, but if anyone prefers a different brand I would really like to try it. Currently I use the Bonide Rooting Powder (the plants do well with it) but for a cleaner look, I thought I should look into switching to a liquid solution. Thanks in advance!

Do you guys think this is enough roots to put in soil or should I leave him in water for longer? Thank you!!! (Common ivy)
