On to a new adventure. How do I propagate alocasia corms

I was able to propagate 6, that’s right 6, Albo Variegated propagations off of an extremely healthy 7 leaf momma plant.. Luckily it was grown on a wood pole and the aerial roots were rooted in the soil as well, which leads to higher success when propagating. These have a great chance of surviving and thriving also because of the little variegation the plant will be able to take in more chlorophyll for plant development👍🏼

I have a Nerve Plant (Fittonia) that I really would like to propagate. I have never made any attempt to do so, if anyone has any advice for me I would be over the moon with appreciation.

Does anyone know how to propagate a Douglas fir?

Trying to grow the corms off my alocasias and the sphagnum moss keeps growing fuzzy white mold. I wring out the moss very well before I put it in and I have a few air holes at the top for circulation but it keeps coming back even after cleaning it all with alcohol and using new moss. At a loss here. They’re rooting just fine but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

Hello everyone, I have a rubber plant that suffered extreme neglect in the past years and now that I am back on track with my plants, I am wondering if I should cut the pale and sick looking branches and try to propagate them. The newer leaves are looking healthy but the overall plant makes me sad. See some pictures and let me know. Plus, how do we propagate those?

Progress update on my string of turtles propagations that I started end of July. They are definitely ready to repot. Any recommendations would be great. I think they are pale due to lack of nutrients, so once I get them potted up I'm going to start gently fertilizing them as well.

First time propagating a pink nerve - fittiona. It was getting very leggy. I assumed a node was needed, but look...is this normal?

Someone gave me this beauty and I have it in water right now. How do I propagate it? Do I leave it in the water and wait for roots to grow or do I put it directly in dirt help please? I don’t want it to die.

Looking for some advice on how you’d prune this Happy Bean (aptly named!). It’s stemmy and I’d prefer a more bushy look but I’m afraid of over pruning. What do you all think? Should I try and make a bushier plant from the cutting I took earlier this week, or cut back the OG plant even more? I don’t want shock & kill the mother plant - she’s done well - but I’m not if this how these plants are actually supposed to grow??

I’ve been rooting a few clippings from a friend’s and I definitely have roots but I need guidance on the next step. Please help because I’ve been very diligent since it’s winter in Virginia and I used grow light to get them to here.

So I got these off my aunts Chinese money plant. I read on the internet that it should grow roots in water. Is this correct? Has anyone done this and did it work?

Should I transfer to soil now? And would it get enough nutrients if I used sphagnum moss, or should I do a mix/just soil?

I have had this start for over two years. It formally had two leaves, and then grew this sprout, and the original leaves died. Am I ever going to get more from this plant? It just keeps getting taller, but it’s not getting more leaves. I’m not even sure this is the type of plant it is.

Help me save a dying BOP! My friend gifted me a repotting of her BOP, but I think it was in too large of a pot and may have had pre-existing root rot. A few weeks after receiving it, despite following a conservative watering schedule, the leaves had totally drooped and yellowed. I read somewhere else (should have checked here first) that I'd be best off trimming the leaves entirely and repotting to a smaller pot better-suited to the roots. So here we are now, repotted (lots of root rot cut) to a much smaller pot and following a plant treatment plan to recover from over watering. My main remaining question is whether I should further trim the stems to treat it as a propagation and/or if it seems past saving at this point? Any other advice greatly appreciated!
