Hi guys! I recently propagated some different cuttings of my golden pothos plant in water. I got some roots growing on it (decently long) then moved it to soil. It’s been in soil for about 2 weeks now and all the leaves are turning yellow. Any idea as to why? Is there something I should have done when moving from water to soil? (Photo is from before it started to turn yellow)

I’m so exciting! This is my first time to propagate anything at all. Actually I’m new to being able to actually have plants thrive at all due to this app. Thank you app! I’ve always had a black thumb but thanks to this app and studying the heck out each plant my babies are finally thriving. I have a monstera that I have propagated. I couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t root in the water and Take Root after several weeks so I started researching. Found out it needed some root drops so I got those. She’s finally started (huge) rooting! I’m so excited! There’s even a leaf starting! Yay! My first propagation!

I got this amaryllis bulb and was going to plant it but It looks like it has another baby bulb growing out the side? Or are they roots? Do I still plant it upwards in the position shown in the pic? Should I do anything special to the side bulb? Any advice is welcome! Thank you!

Hi everyone I tried to propagate my monstera 2 weeks ago and today I noticed these tiny roots on the aerial roots but there are none on the stems or node. Is it normal? Its is good? Because all the videos I have seen they have roots on stems or nodes.

First time propagating Copper spoons. Have had this in soil for over a month. It feels pretty sturdy in the soil but no baby coming through yet. Can anyone enlighten me please? How often to water etc. I am not very patient 😌

As you can see my variegated Haworthia is getting a little overcrowded (which I know they don’t mind), but she has a lot of pups coming off I’m interested in selling. Give me all your advice!

I cut these off my rubber tree about 36 hours ago. Do I put them in water or soil? What type of soil if so?

Hi! I have been propagating this spider plant in water. Is it ready to be moved to soil? Any tips? This is my first time doing it.

First time poster here! I think it’s about time for me to propagate this lovely friend. Any tips or suggestions on where to cut, how much to cut if I am trying to create a fuller plant? Will be getting a bigger pot for this one to plant them all in once they root! :) Thanks in advance for the help!

On to a new adventure. How do I propagate alocasia corms

I was able to propagate 6, that’s right 6, Albo Variegated propagations off of an extremely healthy 7 leaf momma plant.. Luckily it was grown on a wood pole and the aerial roots were rooted in the soil as well, which leads to higher success when propagating. These have a great chance of surviving and thriving also because of the little variegation the plant will be able to take in more chlorophyll for plant development👍🏼

I have a Nerve Plant (Fittonia) that I really would like to propagate. I have never made any attempt to do so, if anyone has any advice for me I would be over the moon with appreciation.

Does anyone know how to propagate a Douglas fir?

Trying to grow the corms off my alocasias and the sphagnum moss keeps growing fuzzy white mold. I wring out the moss very well before I put it in and I have a few air holes at the top for circulation but it keeps coming back even after cleaning it all with alcohol and using new moss. At a loss here. They’re rooting just fine but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

Hello everyone, I have a rubber plant that suffered extreme neglect in the past years and now that I am back on track with my plants, I am wondering if I should cut the pale and sick looking branches and try to propagate them. The newer leaves are looking healthy but the overall plant makes me sad. See some pictures and let me know. Plus, how do we propagate those?

Progress update on my string of turtles propagations that I started end of July. They are definitely ready to repot. Any recommendations would be great. I think they are pale due to lack of nutrients, so once I get them potted up I'm going to start gently fertilizing them as well.
