My flowering mystery plant. I found a bulb when clearing a friend's garden in the autumn and planted it to see what would happen. I thought for a while that it looked like a hyacinth but now I'm not sure. My plant identifier app suggests Spanish Bluebell
Day 1 of trying to propigate a pineapple from a top cutting and a mango from seed. 😁
Hello! I read somewhere that you can put leftover scallion cuttings in water and they’ll grow. It’s worked so far—this is only two days of growth! I’m wondering if/when I should plant them in soil. They started with pretty developed roots. Thank you so much 🤍
I’ve been putting off propagating my monstera because it’s my favorite plant and I’m terrified of wasting perfectly good leaves and cuttings only to fail!!! Looking for all the tips and tricks! Potentially relevant information: -I live in Nebraska (weather was -20° overnight last week and will hit up to 55° this upcoming week, but the house is always warm, at anywhere between 70-78°) and sunlight isn’t hard to come by around here but we do have a lot of gloomy winter days -The monstera in question is pictured, overall in great condition, with one or two leaves with mild browning. I would assume I should use the stronger leaves to propagate. Main questions are how to take proper cuttings, how long to let it sit before putting it in water, how long it takes to show some root growth, and can i realistically do this without rooting powder Thanks in advance!!
Hello! I have a monstera albo cutting on the way and I have always water propagated. However, i want to give my Al o the strongest roots possible and keep it the most healthy, as well as the node while it grows. Would it be best to start in water, and as a root begins to form, transfer it to sphagnum moss? Or should i be brave and just start w straight sphagnum? Any tips and tricks would be wonderful.
Does anyone know if it’s possible to propagate aloe Vera with just a regular cutting?
Hello! 🥑 I need some help with my little avocado pit! I put it in a damp paper towel & plastic bag for a few weeks, and it developped lovely roots and a little sprout, however the roots bend in a way where they go up and in the opposite direction! Meaning if I now want to put it in water, this is the only way to do it so the sprout doesn’t touch water, but then the bottom of the pit isn’t in water… does that matter? Thanks for the help! 💕
hi! i potted this propagation that was given to me a few weeks ago after it looked ready, can i save it? it’s just the one leaf.
I accidentally broke these off my plant and wondering if they can be saved?🙏🏽
I'm giving orchid propagation a whirl. I just started these a couple days ago. If anyone has any tips I'd love to hear them. The plants are phalaenopsis orchids.
I have tried to propagate my string of turtles from leaves but they keep going brown and mushy. They are in slightly damp soil with high humidity. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I removed all the brown mushy ones before but now the top left one is starting to do the same.
Is this arrowhead ready to be planted. I just got it for $1. So excited. If it is ready what size pot and type of soil do you recommend
Hello! I finally got my albo cutting in the mail. I’m scared to mess it up so looking for tips to successfully root it please🙏🏽

Hey anyone know how to propagate a pitcher plant I have one
Very new to propagating. Picked up this Swiss Cheese propagation from a local plant store. The leaves are looking so bad - is this its way of telling me to put it in some soil?
Bought these propagation starters about a week ago. (String of hearts, string of turtles, and streptocarpus) I’ve never propagated plants in anything but water. I’ve been misting the covered ones daily and the uncovered a few times a day to keep soil moist. Any other tips??? Should I aim to keep these constantly moist, very wet, or let dry in between watering?
Moved into my sorority house today and on the drive my mini monstera got some cold damage :( any chance at all that the damaged leaves could recover? The tall one unfurled like 2 days ago, I’m so sad
Should I repot her? I want her to keep growing. How can I propagate?
hello planty friends! looking for guidance for snake plant propagation - i’ve had this whale tail rooting in water and we’re finally seeing good progress! she really is doing her best 🤗 at what point does it get transplanted into soil? has anyone had success growing snake plants in semihydro? TIA for sharing your knowledge and tips!
