Excited to see how these propagations root up! I have a Pilea Peperomioides, Cissus Discolor, Philodendron Hederaceum, and my Fiscus that I just chopped spontaneously yesterday. Wish me luck!!

This whole beautiful stem on my polka dot begonia just broke off 😭 How can I save or propagate it?!

Is my spider plant clipping ready to be transferred to soil? It’s my first time and I’m not sure. Any advice is appreciated!❤️

So I wasn’t actually sure this could happen until I saw it with my own eyes. Somehow managed to save and successfully “start” one single leaf from a now-dead (one over-watering gone horribly wrong, lesson learned) echeveria. What now? I’m new to keeping succulents (alive, at least) and I have NEVER propagated anything in my life! I am thrilled by this little thing, though, and I want to keep it alive! Any and all advice is appreciated.

I'm so proud of my butterfly bush props! I had no idea butterfly bush could even propagate. 🤯 Back in February, a huge pile of snow fell off the roof and chopped my butterfly bush up. I simply took a couple of the broken branches and stuck them in the ground. To my surprise, they were still green months later. So i potted them and now they're in full bloom!

I have a very tall aloe plant that I’m wondering if I should repot into a bigger pot or can I cut the stem, let it callous and then repot? I am worried that the more he grows he will get top heavy and break.

What is the best way to propagate a jade plant from a leaf cutting?

Any tips for moving water props to soil? I have been up and down with my Monstera Dubia but putting the plant in water saved it. It now has long strong roots and new leaves. I want to move it into my Lizard’s vivarium but am afraid of killing it from shock. I’ve heard adding soil slowly to the water can make for a smoother transition- anyone had luck with this? Thanks!!

Is this ready to be potted or should I wait? If I wait, for how long?

So yesterday morning I went outside to let the dogs out and noticed a bright orange glow from my anthurium fredrichstalli(sp?). Little did I know it had an inflo AND it was pregnant. Needless to say, My morning was filled with seed cleaning and planting. Now we wait!

I'm looking to propagate golden pothos to make it fuller at the base. I was told by an employee at a local florist/house plant store that I can just cut one of the stems between two leaves and stick into the soil. Is this correct? Or is it better to propagate it in water first, then plant it into the soil? Thank you!

I was about to pot this pink princess that I propagated a bit ago, but the top of the roots have this weird white stuff on it. I’m assuming it’s some type of fungus but I am unsure of what I should do about it before potting it into soil. Would a good rinse of the roots be fine enough? Or do I need to do more? The plant looks otherwise healthy and even has a new leaf coming in

Love my new multi planted pot! Can you guess all the different plants???

What are the pros/cons to water prop vs soil prop? Idk what to use more often, but I've been using water propagation and it works out well most of the time. Any tips?

Trying to propagate some english laurel, as cut off large stem. Never done this before and know i am definitely doing it wrong. Is it even possible? Any advice appreciated

Hello leafy friends! My avocado plant is not growing anymore. Any tips?

Hello! This is my first time buying a cutting vs a rooted plant so I'm struggling to know if I'm doing anything right. I got this a few weeks ago. The seller cut this while I was there (after I admired the plant) and advised me to plant it directly into soil. She did say I could water prop if I wanted but that she would personally just pot it. So I put it in a mix of potting soil and perlite. It was in an old to go cup as I didn't have any small pots at the time, but I did cut drainage holes on the bottom. I posted some pics of it planted to see if it looked ok and someone said it looked fine. I kept the soil moist but not soggy (at least I think I did). But I noticed the topmost aerial root had kind of died off so I uncovered a bit of the next root down and the bottom half was mushy. So I pulled it out, which maybe I shouldn't have done, but I was concerned it was rotting. One of the longer roots was totally mushy on the bottom so I trimmed that portion off. One of the roots seems a little mushy in the middle but the bottom seemed ok so I left it. And the last root seems firm enough. The cut end of the stem was yellow, so I cut that off as well. Now I have it sitting in a glass like shown in the pictures, with just the end of the longer roots in the water (if I try to put the shorter root in the water, I can't keep the cut stem out of the water and I wasn't sure if that was a problem). I really want to do this right. Am I just overreacting and I should repot it in soil again? Should I continue keeping it in water until it grows more roots? What can I do to increase my chances of success here?
