I still have red leaves in April but what do you all think? Should I cut the tall branch and try to propagate? If so, in water?????

Not even 2 months ago this number was 123 and this number isn’t accurate because I just got 13 pups off of my sapphire tower. Yikes….i have a lot of plants!

Hello! I need some help with my baby dracaena, I literally just slid it out of its pot, and it only had one tiny root that broke off immediately when I tried to see how stable it was, I put it in water to grow more roots, is that the best thing to do? Ps my other one I tried to pull it out but it wouldn’t come out so I’m gonna just leave that one alone. (It’s the one in the dirt. My hand for size reference)

Hi Planty friends! So my kitten got to my sweetheart philodendron 🥺 this vine was at least 2 feet long if not more. But I don’t want it to go to waste. How can I prop it? I tried before putting it in water and they didnt take and I’ve had a lot of luck propping in water. Thanks for your help!

Attempting my first snake plant propagation in soil, I may have left them too long - I let the ends heal for a week then promptly forgot them for another week so I’m hoping that won’t cause any issues😅 I think 3/5 of them are strong candidates for a positive outcome anyway. Fingers crossed for positive results in a month or twos time 🌱.

Can you propagate a bonsai via cuttings? When I next prune my bonsai, I want to know if some of the little tree limbs or branches can be salvaged and repurposed as a prop.

Hi everyone I’m new here and new to the propagating world. I just cut a few bits of my golden pothos and I don’t know if I need to let it scab over or if I can put it straight into water. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!

So I have this Pilea, my pride and joy and like we all know they produce pups like no tomorrow lol. I’m not sure what to do with mine, do I prop or leave alone? I already have 4 that I’ve potted and I don’t have much space for anymore. Nor do I have tonnes of friends who want one 🤣 any tips welcome!

HELP These Hoya Bella’s have been rooted in my fish tank and they have really taken off!! They are from my grandmas original Hoya Bella, and I want to have them as my centrepiece at my wedding!! How do I move these to soil without them dieing? I also have leca ( which I haven’t had much success with yet) if that would work better before moving to soil?

Hey guys! I’m new to planting/flowers! Has anyone ever propagated spearmint before? I have a TON of it planted in a small garden from the prior residents and I want to move it, not throw it out!

Hear ye, here ye… Is this prop going to make it or not? For those of you in the know (and I am not not one of those!), I can’t figure out if this cutting from a Chinese Evergreen should go to heaven or not. The.
