I have more than what is shown, a friend passed and I have all of these now, I've never had more than one kind of plant in a pot at once, what would you guys do? Repot them all? I live in west ga. Freezing cold right now also so I have to wait and they're starting to droop 😭

Hello everyone, when do you all add propagated plants to your Planta records? I propagated some succulent leaves that are now growing plantlets but I don’t know if I should log them yet or if I should’ve added them some time ago. Some of these guys have the leaf they grew off of still attached, others have already dropped it. Some have one plantlet, most have two, and one has no plantlet yet although it has rooted. At what stage would you add a new little guy to your plant log? I was thinking once a plantlet appears but sometimes a second plantlet will appear later, although I’m not sure that really matters to the app. I was also thinking that once the original leaf/cutting roots it would be ok to add but that might be too early since no new plant would be present, and the original leaf is not going to stay anyway. I’m not sure which of my little guys I should log, if any. The 1st pot on the left is the only one with roots but no plantlet. All other pots have plantlets, although some have their original leaf attached while others don’t. Most pots have two leafs propagating but others are solo. If anyone would be able to provide feedback or advice I would greatly appreciate it!

I have this cutting… any advice if there’s anywhere else I can cut to trim it down? And any recommendations for water prop or straight into soil? TIAšŸ™

Nova’s leaves are still firm and she seems happy! If it’s been a week and a few days in her new home can I assume my Jade cutting has formed some roots!!?

A string fell off my string of hearts so I’m trying to propagate it. Will this work? It’s under a grow light.

Hi! I was just wanting to get others thoughts on this string of turtles to see if I need to upgrade pot size and propagate some of it? I’m afraid it’s getting too crowded in this small pot, they seem to be layering up but I also know they have small roots.

One of my very first propagations!! She’s been in smaller jars so I moved her to this bigger jar cuz her roots are growing so big and so strong!! I’m thinking I’ll keep her a water šŸ’§ plant!! I just hope she does as well in this jar as she did the smaller one!! I combined them from the two smaller containers and put them together!! I think they look so beautiful 🤩!!

Hello friends! This is my first ever post so please be patient. One of the people in my friend group trimmed her Pothos, and she is giving away some of the vines for propagation. This will be my first ever Pothos, and I know they’re not hard but I want to do this right. What would be the best way to propagate this? Thank you in advance!

So I told yall my spider plant let out a vine. I know you guys have said it’s gonna give me spider babies. However, it gave me these lil white flowers and also the baby spider plants. I got up today and the white flowers are gone. I’m not sure if they’ll closed or what because there’s no dropping on my floor so where could they have gone šŸ¤”šŸ¤”šŸ¤”

So quick update on my propagation with my Pilea I started last week. I see roots ( I believe) growing on this one. I did change out the water once.

Such a whirlwind of emotions when propagating and you have to sacrifice some great leafs for the benefit of the plantšŸ™ƒ

I just got a Red King Kong aeonium cluster and it’s been a minute since I got one with minimal rooting. I have her in a ceramic pot with cactus soil. How often should I water to get those roots really popping?

Every time I try to propagate a plant, whether in soil or water, it somehow fails. The cuttings just shrivel up and die. The only exception was my pink variegated micans, and even that plant was barely hanging on at the time. The last time I trimmed my plants, I didn’t even bother trying to propagate them properly. I just tossed the cuttings into a zip-lock bag with some sphagnum moss and left the bag in a corner. I completely forgot about them. When I finally looked again, they were growing roots. What really surprised me was that even the extra cuttings in the bag without any moss had started rooting too. The only moisture they had was whatever was left from when I rinsed them after cutting. At this point I’m convinced my plants either dislike me personally or they only thrive when I leave them alone. šŸŒæšŸ˜…
