I am at a loss and need some ideas. I have propagated plants for years in water. I never used anything but water. And I wasn't the best at changing the water. I could go a week before I changed. Everything did fine. I've kept plants in water for months or more because I liked the look and it was easy. Now, for the last 4-5 months my propagations just rot and the water is a mess within days. I can not figure out what has changed! Help!
Beautiful root that is only just starting to get a couple of sub roots, no stem though :/ im hoping it will grow by spring but im looking for any tips. Tyia
Took a cutting off my parents 7+ year old Elephant Jade plant & this woodpecker wanted to check it out!
My inch plant’s root died at some point so I cut the stem into 3 pieces to try and propagate and save her 😭 I watched a YouTube video but can someone tell me if these are cut correct? I have them in small glass vases or water.
hello plant friends! i was wondering if anyone can tell me how and when to pot these babies up! they’re corms from my alocasia frydek and i’m very new at propagating corms let alone alocasias 😭😭 any help or feedback is appreciated :)
Hey guys, I have this philo brasil that looked so beautiful and full when I bought it. Then I got super stressed and basically ignored my plants for about a month and now she looks like this. I have her on my windowsill (SE facing, not super sunny here. It has a screen, and temps range from 30-50 rn.) she does have growth at the base and at the end of this long vine, but I want her more full. How can I propagate her to help? Where do I cut? After putting them in water can I stick them right back into this pot? TIA
I’m new to the propagating world. These Philodendron Brasil props have been in water for a few months. Are their roots strong enough to go to soil or do they need more? From left to right, the second to left only has one small root so that one will stay in water regardless for now
Propagating Orchid. Please help. Hello there, Please help! Is there any chance this Orchid can be propagated?? It now has only one green leaf remaining😔 Thank you. (It’s important to me, it was given by a friend 4 years ago who has since passed away. It was doing well untill now. I’ve been unwell since too. The caretaker of my plants has not taken care of it, with soil changes as the roots are exposed I’m told. Please help.
Happy Saturday! What kind of Soil is best to plant propogated Philodendron Birkin's in? Any tips is greatly appreciated🙂
Just planted my Thanksgiving cactus clipping. Wish me luck!! 🤞🏼
Can you propagate a Japanese maple branch?
👋 Plant Newbie here! At what point do I plant cuttings? These Coleus cuttings have rooted about 1 inch so far. Also, any recommendations to not shock the plant in soil is appreciated. Thanks!
The first of my Ponytail Palm seedlings to reach stand-alone size!
Can I propagate this, it came from a succulent if I can please tell me how
I found these at home depot. Can I propagate them ?
I have a seed from a Texas Mountain Laurel. I live in South Dakota and was reading up on this and how hot it likes temperatures. South Dakota gets too cold for it to be outside (average lows of 10 F but last winter we hit negatives multiple weeks in a row) as the laurel only can manage to about 10 F minimum, but does anyone have any tips for possibly growing it indoors? Or maybe starting it indoors and putting it outside after it has steady growth? I am pretty new to plant care so any advice would be appreciated 😅
Eeeek, I bought this plant a couple of months ago, from a sale shelf in a supermarket! Look what’s happening! Can I grow these? I’ve never done it before and I’m completely clueless when it comes to propagating and sowing so some help would be gratefully received! Thank you ☺️
I just wanted to share that I have a leaf growing in the water of one of my propagations. I have never seen this before and it made me tear up because water is life it is revival it is resilient.
Any tips for alocasia frydek corms? I was able to have roots and a leaf grow out of three corms. Now I put one in soil and it’s yellowing
