Is this propagation ready to be potted?

Hello plant friends who know way more about propagating house plants than I do. I've had most of these in RO (reverse osmosis) water for almost a month, the first pic has been in water for about 7 weeks. How am I getting little to no roots? I'm so confused. I prop catnip, rosemary, Cuban oregano, and sage this way often with no problems. In a little bit I'm going to put one stem of each into sphagnum moss because I've reached the "why not experiment" stage of frustration. Please throw all your advice at me. Thank you!

Ok so here is my question. This monstera is not that big and I wasn’t ready to propagate yet so my idea was to just get a bigger pot and place the soil up higher to cover this little node. Will that be ok or is it best at this point to cut and propagate? Also can I just stick it in soil or should it be in water first and when more roots soil? Please give all the thoughts! This is my first monstera and I want him to do well!

Got permission to take a cutting off the monstera in my office today! Brought this baby home on the train. Tips for propagating monstera?? Also - did a “vines and vibes” team event and it was a hit! BUT, we did monkey mask and pothos which are not pet safe. Any suggestions for pet safe, easy to propagate and care for plants for novice plants parents?

hello all! i am trying to propagate this section of my Monstera that broke off. it has this very long arial root and a couple small stubs. i’ve heard of people putting the arial root in water and it turns into a ground root but im afraid this is one is too long or established but im simply just a little uneducated in this area. any advice is useful, thank you!

Hi everyone! I’m new to propagating and decided to start with a lace leaf plant. I believe I did the proper trimming technique from the original plant through my own research and the plant has now been in water for just under a month (with its water being changed every few days). This is what it looks like now (see image), with new roots (?) and even a new little leaf. At what point would it make sense to transition it into soil? To my understanding lace leafs can be moved over in any season, but i just don’t want to do it too early. Thank you!

All of these corms are from my alocasia African mask! Excited to see these babies grow

I was gifted this randomly. Planta says it’s a jade plant. Confused how to plant or keep this in water. Doesn’t really have roots and it makes a “U” shape. Should I hang it off the side of a glass or try to plant it like this? Then the leaves on the end will likely die?

I started pinning my pthos vines nodes back to the soil so it can get fuller and more vines … This is how it is after pinning some of the vines .. Lets see how the progress goes 😬😬😳

Hi friends! I don’t see an option on Planta for care schedule with seeds (vs plant). I researched that the water/sun/humidity needs are different when they’re just seeds. I planted some Thai basil seeds in a fabric planter yesterday. Wet the soil and put a clear plastic plant tray on the top to hold in water (and create humidity?). I also put a grow light over it, about 4 feet distance with 8 hours of light. I’m not sure if this is correct and would welcome any suggestions:)

I had this ZZ branch that I accidentally broke off my plant while I was repotting a few months ago. My ZZ is one of my oldest plants that my mom and sister got me when they were forcing me to recover from serial plant murdering. 😆 My ZZ was overwatered and the soil grew bad fungus and the plant started to die. I dug him up, got rid of the dead roots, threw out two stalks that had given up the ghost, and repotted the rest of the plant with new soil. I also bought another younger plant to fill in the pot. The plant is thriving now. I stuck this stalk in water because I heard it will grow roots. I didn't know I was supposed to let it sit out and callous over first. So at first the tip began to rot. When I read about callousing, I then took it out, cut it, let it callous for two days, and then changed the water in the vase and put him in again. That was all about 2 months ago. Today I saw tiny roots. Thought it was just that funky gel forming again, but no! Roots. I changed the water (it was very cloudy and a dead gnat was belly up in it), and put the stalk back to continue rooting.

Can I put an albo cutting in the same jar of water as my other monstera species?

Hi my bamboo only has this one stem, if I cut and prop do you think it will work? The one side has been cut for a year and has had no regrowth but I want to try to get some smaller branches as it is getting very tall
Liv
Hi! I have some string plant propagations that I need some help figuring out. Should I clip them to make multiple water props so they are fuller, or let them root?? Thanks for the help any other tips are welcomed

I believe this is the only space I can be myself and share my enthusiasm for new soil. Please welcome, Purple Cow (and soil blocking).

Hello plant friends. I'm having a propagation issue and I'm hoping someone (or multiple someones) can help. About 5 weeks ago I received these two Maranta cuttings. They spent a week in leca but, not knowing anything about leca and seeing a lot of people suggest water, I moved them to water. I have lowered the water level slightly from the picture. The stem with one leaf developed the start of one root almost 2 weeks ago and it hasn't changed much, it looks like it may be starting another root on the other side. The one with two leaves isn't rooting at all and almost seems to be starting to rot. They are in reverse osmosis water and they had a bit of Super Thrive one water change ago. Today I read they like humidity to propagate and I do have this teeny greenhouse that I could put it into. Currently, there's a heat mat under the greenhouse because I'm starting moringa seeds. I still have that leca available and I have sphagnum as well. Which would be the best changes for me to make to get this leafy friend rooting? Thank you so much for reading this eternal paragraph, my phone is only treating the return/enter button as enter. And thank you in advance for your help.

Does anyone have advice on propagating avocado seeds? I’d appreciate any tips!

Just got some grow lights for my propagations. I am new, any tips help! I’m using Brianna T5 grow lights

First Christmas cactus prop ever! I’m surprised it’s made it this far(:
