Moved into my sorority house today and on the drive my mini monstera got some cold damage :( any chance at all that the damaged leaves could recover? The tall one unfurled like 2 days ago, I’m so sad

If I have little plants like this with roots, do I need to keep the whole leaf attached, or can I trim some off?

Just a little encouragement for anyone mulling over chopping and propagating their fiddle leaf fig. I’m so glad I did it! It’s been three months and here is the progress. It looks like it’s going to branch off in 2-3 new directions and has about 6 new leaves with two more ready to pop soon. The prop in the photo I planted last week. The second cutting is still rooting in water. I don’t know if I would root a flf in water again. It got rot twice and I had to restart the woodier cut. After the fact I heard good things about using perlite or air layering, both were suggested a few times.

I propagated this hoya this summer. It had only 2 leaves and I put it directly into soil and now it has 5 leaves and doing great. I got the start from a friend who is 80 and the mother plant is over 40 years old. I'm so glad to get a great start going and hope I do as well as she has with her plant

I don’t know if I’m in the right group but I have a fiddle fig tree and I’ve had her since February 2024 and she has grown 6 leaves which I’m very grateful for but I’ve noticed that she is just a stick. I love how fiddle figs look when they branch out. Is there a way I could make that happen?

I just got this pink princess and I'm not sure if I should keep it in water or plant her. Also what is the best soil for her. As you can see she has a great root. Thanks for any helpr

Could I propagate my Croton? The first picture is when I first got it (March 2024) and the second picture is it recently (January 2025). As you can see, it lost all is foliage over time, no matter how I’ve cared for it. When I repotted it, it had separate bulbs and I replanted 3 of them. 2 died, hence the one remaining. I don’t think it’ll grow its leaves to the way it was, so I’m hoping to propagate. If it’s possible, how would I do it? I’ve never done a propagation. I don’t wanna have to start over and buy a new plant!

Hi, I began to sow cactus seeds but 2 days later, they all grew mold 😭 Anyone know what I did wrong? I had them under a grow light, moistened soil, and covered the top with cling wrap. I also had them on a heated mat

Ok, I bought these cute vases OVER two years ago to use for propagating. These are the first cuttings I put in there!!! They rooted immediately and haven’t grown since. I know the roots are long enough to plant, but I thought I would start seeing new leaf growth. They are just staying their cute little size. Are they just waiting for their new home?

My daughter gifted some clippings for me last year. Who says you have to plant them? Maybe I just need a bigger vase?
