Hi all, I wondered, so I googled to learn if adding a micro amount of liquid fertilizer to propagating water would be helpful and found conflicting responses. What are your thoughts? Thank you in advance 🪴

Has anyone successfully propagated a dieffenbachia before? Are there any tricks?

Im in the process of rooting this Florida Green cutting & the leaf has changed colors . Am I weird that I like this lol ? I know it’s not a good thing well at least not for the leaf . I’ve finally started getting roots though . The pic is a bit yellower than it actually is it’s more orange.

I’ve got some pothos props growing in water. They’ll be ready to transplant soon. What size pot is best if I have 4 props? Is there a general rule of thumb for pot size based on number of new plants?

When can I repot my jade/Crassula propagations? I propagated a ton of sunset jade leaves and they’re starting to sprout so I’m super excited! I want to put them all in their own little pots to share with friends, but I’m worried about disturbing the roots before they’re ready. Does anyone know when a good time to repot them would be? Should I wait til the original leaf is fully shriveled up? Do I bury the leaf in the new soil?

Can someone please give advice on how to propagate corms from my Polly plant? She was root bound when I got her so after a week or more I repotted her and she was able to divide giving me two plants and about 10 corms. ❤️ Right now I have them in direct full sunlight in a container of perlite and it’s covered with clear wrap to create a greenhouse effect, and keeps it moist. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Can anyone help me with my Norwegian Spruce seedlings? They’ve stopped growing and I’m not sure if it’s something I’ve done/not done or if they go dormant?

Hello! I have a raspberry plant who’s been sprouting little baby raspberry plants. How do I transplant them without damaging their roots or their mama’s? I tried transplanting one but it’s not very happy.

i’m new to the plant world and not sure on what i should be looking for on my plants. my sensitive plant has had these white spots on its leaves since i brought it home about a week ag. they don’t have mealy bugs or anything but i’m just wondering if it’s something else. should i just clean the leaves? or is it a mildew or something like that? thank you!

Hi guys 👋 This is my Rhipsalis Cassitha (I believe). The 3 dangling at the front have grown from 10cm cuttings over about 3 months. Then I got the 2 shorter bits at the back a week or so ago. They all arrived in a mystery cuttings box from a wonderful seller on Etsy. Anyway, I’m wondering how to help it fill out? It’s grown like crazy in length but looked somewhat pitiful as 3 little strands. Will it grow new ‘strands’ from the roots or should I chop the longer sections? If so, how is it best to do that? Thanks in advance 🌿🤗🌿

Hey babies! Does anybody have any tips on pothos propagation? I’ve been propping in water for 4 weeks now and I have no signs of root growth. Update: thank yall for all of your advice! I have tried a few different prop options & now we shall wait 🥲 Update again! We have roots! Baby on the left was propped in water and baby on the right was propped in bag with paper towel and some water stuck to my window!

Hi all, I've been growing this avocado from seed since 2nd March and its grown a lot, it's like my child. It's about 25cm tall and I was unsure whether i should prune it? Any advice is appreciated thanks! If so, how much should i prune and can the cutting be propagated? (I did the wet paper towel method and planted directly in soil when roots developed)
