I’m propagating my pothos. I put one cutting in soil and one in water. I watered the soil with rooting hormone and put rooting hormone in the water. The last time I propagated a pothos in water the end just turned brown and mushy and no roots grew, any advice VERY MUCH APPRECIATED, thanks for helping a bumbling plant lover!!!!

Hey guys, can anyone tell me why my roots are growing super long but with no secondary roots? They’ve been propping for months, I change out the water every week or two, and started adding a bit of fertilizer after the roots grew. The left bulb is philodendron micans, the other ones are satin “pothos” (scindapsus but idk which kind). The ones in the pink jar have many nodes with roots coming out but they’re all singular, no secondaries. Also this window they’re in is east facing and gets morning sun, idk if that matters (and yes I repositioned the leaves so they’re not in water and not blocking the others, I had just set this down when I took the pic). Any thoughts?

Quick question yall! I’m new to trying to propagate plants and the only thing I have been successful with is pothos. I am trying to propagate my rose bushes and I have had zero luck. I have added pictures of the parent rose bushes I am attempting to do it with. The methods I have used is putting a cutting in water, putting a cutting in soil with root hormone powder, and scoring a branch while still on the bush + root hormone powder on the scored area and wrapping it in soil/saran wrap and left for a couple of weeks. None worked. What am I doing wrong?

Not sure if this is the place to post it, but I’m propagating Frangipanis. I have three pots just like this with four cuttings each. What should my next step be? My current thought process/idea is act as if I’m repotting them and take the ones out with good roots and give them their own pot instead of sharing with other cuttings Any and all advice appreciated!

Will this root? The spiderette has several other leaves to it too but they were weak so they kind of just fell off. It was being propagated in water.

Hello! I’m fairly new to having plants and these have fallen off of the jade plant I have in my salon. The larger one with the brown base, is it rotting? Calloused? Since they fell off on their own can I still replant them?

Hey plant friends! I’ve already cut some vines from the philodendron, but I’m not totally sure where to divide them for proper propagation — or which method works best to get healthy roots. Where exactly should I cut each vine to make individual cuttings? (Is one node enough? Leaf required?) Best rooting method for each — water, moss, perlite, LECA? Tips for faster rooting or things to avoid?

My plant has a baby plant! I am trying to separate it so their roots do not become too entangled. Should I cut the root it’s connected to and place in water? Or cut and place in soil. Or something else 😊 Thanks for your help!

I’m trying to grow a spruce and I’m worried that the little sprout is dying, but I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I have him growing next to a window facing north, with a grow light. I’ve been misting him when I water. He’s in an Airpot. I can give more details if requested.

Hello! I repotted my FLF about a month ago and she’s been growing like crazy. I’d really like her to branch, though. I’m having a hard time figuring out where to chop since the leaves are quite bunched together at the top. Any advice?

Hi! I have a philendron ring of fire and it’s growing well. I noticed this happening on one area (pic 2) and I’m wondering if this section needs to be propagated or if I should just leave it alone?

Hi all! I attempted to propagate our red robin hedges a few months ago and they didn’t end up going so well. I just took a few cuttings of the newer growth and put them in water under a grow light. I have absolutely no idea if you can even propagate them this way but I thought I’d give it a go. They lasted for about 8 weeks looking super healthy (I changed the water weekly and fertilised every few weeks) and then they got droopy and died. Does anyone have any tips on propagating these, or any sort of hedges or fruit trees as we would like to have a few more on our property and I thought it would be fun to propagate them instead of buying them. Thanks!!

Do these roots like right? Been growing this pothos for almost a month and these are the roots. I’m not sure if they are healthy, and I’m unsure exactly how far the roots should be before planting. Any advice? ☺️
