Bought some rotting peaches a month ago. Deshelled them and stuck em in the fridge. Finally saw some roots yesterday, so into the solo cups they go! It’s my first time growing fruits, I’m v excited!

I’ve tried several times to grow herbs from seed, but every time I water the pressure from the water knocks them over like this. I poked holes in a plastic water bottle top to make it a weaker stream, but still this is how they end up every time. Any suggestions??

What do y'all think I should do with this monstera? I bought it from someone on Facebook and when I got it home repotted it because the pot was way too big and surprise surprise, root rot. Should I leave it as is and try to propagate it or should I need to accept defeat and cut up the plant to just nodes and start this cutting over? It has no roots, the stems are pretty weak (I suspect they chopped it up into smaller plants and left it with low light) I've had it in moist perlite for about 1.5 weeks and I know it takes a while for root to grow but already chopped this plant up from another weak steam growth. This is my first time propagating so trying to do it right and save this monstera What are the yellow looking nodes? I didn't notice those when I first got it and inspected the plant

Does anyone know of any good organic potting soil brands? Is the Planta brand one good? I have to repot one of my plants, but I’m really worried about fungal gnats or purchasing rotted soil.

Will the Planta app correctly schedule water changes/nutrients etc for water propagation? I’ve only done soil but I want to try water, so I don’t know what I’m doing/should be looking for other than the insane spread of information online.

Hi, new here. OK so, I have a LOT of little pieces from various succulents. I read to just lay them in soil and mist them every couple of days, but I just don’t think anything is happening. Any suggestions?

I have these two plants I was hoping to propagate. One is a haworthia and the other is a snake plant. Any recommendations if water or soil would be better? Any recommendations are very much appreciated :) I’m still really new at this

When I looked up how to propagate this guy it said to cut and put in water but it’s looking a little weird…is this normal? Should I keep waiting or transfer to soil? It’s been about a week and the water was completely new when I put them in this jar. They went in at the same time but the middle cutting seems to be collecting way more water.

Made a new set up with some left over macrame yarn for my seeds! I think it’s a cute way to keep them up, in the sunlight, and out of the way! 🥰 (it’s very shady rn cause it’s about to storm, I promise they get TONS of sunlight normally!)

Just pulled my snake plant propagation out to check on it—there are tiny roots!! I’ve tried both water and soil prop, so far soil is working. I started this around the beginning of April. 🤩

Hello! I have this spider plant I’ve had for almost two years , and I noticed now it’s got like 4 plants in one pot. Should I separate them?! I’m not sure if I should now since it has two new shoots coming in I’m assuming are for flowers or pups. What should I do? Leave it alone?
