A storm came through a few nights ago and damaged several plants, so I decided to propagate my damaged coleus. I’m crossing my fingers that they will grow roots. šŸ¤ž

I propagated this sweet potato vine and just planted it outside. Sorry about the soil you may can’t see it but it had no roots I put her in just water and covered with a bag in 2 weeks she sprouted roots. It’s my first ever plant to actually get roots from propagating!

I have a luseana umbrella tree that was becoming leggy and tall, so to encourage side growth, I lopped off the top. Should I keep it like this, or do I need to snap off any branches right below the cut to open up nodes? Thanks! (Yes, I have the top in water!)

Propagating monkey masks! They’ve been in water for about 2 weeks now and are starting to grow. I’m questioning my medium as I know the roots will be very weak when I put it in soil. What’s a good medium to use inbetween water and soil? I heard leca is good?

What do y'all do if your pothos water prop starts sprouting roots at two separate nodes? 🫣 Best course of action?? The nodes are a good 3" apart 🫪 For future reference, does this mean that I had too many nodes on my cutting?

Rooted from a corm and now she’s almost 4 inches tall and running out of room — any advice on what I should do next and when? She’s my first corm experiment!! Should I repot her a little lower in this humidifier cup so she has a little more room? Or is it time to get her into a big girl pot? I’m so scared to ruin her!

Hey everyone! I am very new to this plant thing, but I have been loving it! Anyways, a piece of my bigger aloe plant broke off. So I decided to stick it in dirt and see if anything happens. It’s been a month now and I haven’t seen and new growth on it… any kind tips would be appreciated!

I’m trying to propagate a zz plant but it’s dying in the water and there’s barely any roots. Is there a better way to propagate it?

Tiny roots. Big future. šŸ’š These roots are strong, the leaves are thriving, and they’re ready for their next chapter—life in soil. 🌱 Growth doesn’t happen overnight…but when it does, it’s worth every moment of waiting. 😊 #PlantPropagation #RootedInGrowth #PlantWhisperer #HouseplantJourney #NeeCeeLovesPlants

Hi everyone! Recently planted a Philodendron that was first propagated in water. Plant is looking green, but it’s been a few months and little growth. Any tips?

I am trying to grow broccoli from seed. When I moved the seedling to a new pot, it grew out this way. Initially the stalk was quite weak but it’s getting strong. I feel like it’s obviously not a good long term solution to have it hanging over the edge as it will start to get heavy. Do I re-pot and bury the hanging point where it turns?

I'm so very excited. I accidentally broke a leaf off my peperomia frost. So, I clipped the leaf in two, propped them in moss and placed it a sandwhich baggie. I actually forgot about them in my prop area...but "poof", two new little plants.
