Is this normal when growing a pineapple top ? I’ve done 3 & they all do this so was wondering if this is just part of the process .

Hey folks! Fully over watered my SOP and now I'm trying to salvage it. It took the last of the healthy strands and I'm trying to propogate them. I have them laying on the substrate right now but I'm not sure what else to do to give them the best chance. Thoughts?

Where do the Pink Quill pups grow from? My Pink Quill recently started turning green after her last bloom, and I’m assuming pups should be growing. How long does it take for them to grow?

For people who are well versed with water props, I have been facing a recurrent issue. Everytime I deal with water propagations I encounter a whiteish fuzz and slimey substance surrounding areas of my plant (specifically around the roots and nodes). Sometimes it leads to rot. What are ways to combat it? Any tips would be helpful.

Idk if I’m doing this right? I had them in egg cartons before they bloomed and when they did I put them in a bigger pot. Any advice?

I am open to any advice some of the leaves are falling off.. I noticed while looking things up it could be from over crowding but I also just bought this gal a few days ago.. should I propagate? repot? As you can tell I put the leaves that fell off into a pot.. I think I’m doing this right?

I just pruned my large rose bush and didn’t realize that it was still alive. Looked dead. Anyway. How do I propagate the living branches for new bushes? Water? Root powder in soil?? Please help me.

Baby African Violet in progress here! I propagated the big leaf in water and then when the roots were about 2 inches replanted in a mixture of multi-purpose and peat to help hold in some moisture/make the transition out of water less shocking. In only a few weeks these baby leaves came up! Any recommendations on when/if to move to a larger pot, watering schedule, etc? I want to make sure I don’t over or under-water and that it has enough room to grow.

Is it me or is that new growth on my hobbit fingers cutting? Really hoping to have resurrected him!

Hard to see but there’s two new shoots on what I’m 98.99% sure is an agleonema stalk that I thought died. I threw it in water with a bunch of pothos cuttings to see if it would come back to life and it has!! There’s one growth point that’s getting closer everyday to making a new leaf and making its own root system. I have no idea when it’ll be ready to move to its own vessel and/or potting up. I think I wanna wait until the other growth points are more mature to see if I’ll be able to have 3 new plants that can survive the shock once transferred.

Hi! I’m new to propagating, and I was looking on Reddit yesterday and saw a comment about blocking the clear portion of the test tube off from the sunlight apparently helping the roots grow quicker. Does anyone know if this is true? I’ll provide an image to show what I mean.

I attempted to propagate these succulent leaves, but haven't had any success. I let the ends callus over for two days before placing them in soil and lightly misting them, but they seem to be deteriorating. I'm also trying to propagate a stem cutting (shown in the first photo). Today, I moved everything to a different pot. The stem on the right is another propagation from the same plant. Do you have any tips for successfully propagating succulent leaves and stems? In the second photo, the stem on the left is the “mother plant.” She had gotten quite leggy (as you can see in the last photo), so I decided to trim her back. Any advice on helping her recover and stay healthy would be appreciated!
