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:)🪴🧡🌿

Are any of these pups ready to be separated and potted? Seperate pictures in the comments

What’s the best option for these? Just put them in water, a wet paper towel or soil? Let let sit for a bit? Just cut them today

Any pro monstera propagators on here? My main stem has the leaf going off on its own, it has 2 nodes. The other single leafs don’t appear to have any nodes at all. I’m not sure if I should take the wandering stem/leaf with nodes along with the one leaf attached to it with a node and propagate it. (It IS the main stem of plant) I’m not sure why the other leaves are all bunched together like that. I would like a full looking monstera without renegade leaves. It sits on a high shelf with west and north facing windows within 12” of either direction. Zone 6b, Ohio. I water when almost dry, clean leaves monthly, fertilize with GT foliage with each watering. Chunky soil. Roots seem super healthy. 2 more pics in comments
