Prayer plant- how to stop long vines!? This prayer plant just has 2 main stems that keep getting longer and longer. Should I cut them back? Do I then replant the cuttings into the main pot to make it more full? It seems happy enough, it just flowered recently at the end of 1 stem, and has another new flower shoot coming from the pot. But it’s just so loooonnng.

Ok, so is she ready to be potted yet? She looks to me like she has a lot of roots now. Or do we keep growing them? I’m not seeing anymore root growth for weeks now despite using growth drops. Nothing has changed. Thoughts?

My Donkey tail is dropping leaves and in general not doing well. I have others in regular potting soil that are fine. This one is in a more corse, fast draining soil. That's the only difference. Does it need a more dense soil?

My spider plant has seed pods and I was just wondering how to propagate them. Do I wait until they are darker colored and do I have to let them dry out? If so, how do I do this?

A tree next to my apartment is shooting this out near its base. Is that something I can chop and prop? Having bonsai dreams about it…

Is it save to cut this a inch above soil for it to re-grow? This is an older photo and it is no longer yellowed. And can I plan the cut portion and will it grow back?

I attempted to propagate my friendship plant. The plant was totally fine until I added the new stem, and perhaps overwatered it because I’m a noob. Is this plant salvageable? I’m sad, I don’t want to be a plant killa. Any advice is appreciated

I had a big Echeveria that went through a fire. The outside leaves were very damaged so I pulled them off to propagate. The center was repotted and is doing great. I took the leaves I pulled off and put them on soil and have been regularly misting them. Some have developed small roots. Are these ready to be potted? Thanks for your help!

My elephant ear plant has seen better days. It does really well and has a lot of new growth, then all but one or two leaves survive, but it always seems to come back so I keep hanging onto it hoping it’ll look pretty someday. 😂 So… 1. I was wondering if I’m able to bury the base of the plant more when repotting it to cover up the “ugly” where leaves have died off?? 2. What are your tips on helping it thrive?

How would I go about propagating this rubber plant? It’s so tall in such a small pot! Should I prune it and place in water?
