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??
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?
Where do I cut to propagate?
Is this propagation ready to be potted?
Hello plant friends who know way more about propagating house plants than I do. I've had most of these in RO (reverse osmosis) water for almost a month, the first pic has been in water for about 7 weeks. How am I getting little to no roots? I'm so confused. I prop catnip, rosemary, Cuban oregano, and sage this way often with no problems. In a little bit I'm going to put one stem of each into sphagnum moss because I've reached the "why not experiment" stage of frustration. Please throw all your advice at me. Thank you!
Ok so here is my question. This monstera is not that big and I wasn’t ready to propagate yet so my idea was to just get a bigger pot and place the soil up higher to cover this little node. Will that be ok or is it best at this point to cut and propagate? Also can I just stick it in soil or should it be in water first and when more roots soil? Please give all the thoughts! This is my first monstera and I want him to do well!
Got permission to take a cutting off the monstera in my office today! Brought this baby home on the train. Tips for propagating monstera?? Also - did a “vines and vibes” team event and it was a hit! BUT, we did monkey mask and pothos which are not pet safe. Any suggestions for pet safe, easy to propagate and care for plants for novice plants parents?
hello all! i am trying to propagate this section of my Monstera that broke off. it has this very long arial root and a couple small stubs. i’ve heard of people putting the arial root in water and it turns into a ground root but im afraid this is one is too long or established but im simply just a little uneducated in this area. any advice is useful, thank you!
Hi everyone! I’m new to propagating and decided to start with a lace leaf plant. I believe I did the proper trimming technique from the original plant through my own research and the plant has now been in water for just under a month (with its water being changed every few days). This is what it looks like now (see image), with new roots (?) and even a new little leaf. At what point would it make sense to transition it into soil? To my understanding lace leafs can be moved over in any season, but i just don’t want to do it too early. Thank you!
