Please HELP! I bought 5 Angel Wings of different variegations from someone on FaceBook Marketplace. She said they were indoor plants but when I got there they were outside next to her sliding glass door in the shade. She said they could still be brought indoors. Now, 3 of them are having issues (pics below). Please tell me IF any can be saved and/or EXACTLY how to propagate these in water AND soil (I like to try both, if I have enough to work with). Thank you soo much! These were my new favorite plants because I love bright colors!

Can this ginger root be propagated in any way? If so, please explain how. I would love to grow my own ginger!

Am I able to prop snake plants like this, or would it be better to chop them a bit? I’ve never propagated snake plants before.

Second time my string of pearls has started wilting from the root :( caught it a little earlier this time and have approached life saving methods in a different way. Propping I’m water from scratch and the two viable strings with roots repotted into a smaller pot When I was emptying the pot I noticed the soil was quite damp still, i can’t tell though if it’s ill health is due to overwatering, lack of sunlight or too much…. Any ideas welcome Top of strings after drying out near the soil, was growing so happily and rapidly until it wasn’t

My string of pearls has grown a variegated strand. If I cut this strand off and put it flat down in a new pot of soil will it continue to grow out as variegated?

My propagation selection is making me very happy right now! What exciting things do you have on the grow? I just doused the pearls and gollums. So, please don’t mind them gasping for air. 🤣

Are my snake plant cuttings moldy? Cut and propped about a week ago. And, are those white dots on my banyan Roy cutting, that keep getting larger and had appeared quite fast, roots or some kind of problem? Thanks!

I have these two cuties that have grown so beautifully! A sweet lady that works with my husband gave me my first plants so I’d like to return her sweet favor by gifting her some of these two…but because I’m still such a beginner I need some help with what to do to ensure I give her healthy cuttings💚 Open to ALL advice and suggestions!💚💚

I love love love this plant but it's getting a little unruly. If I snip off the bottoms can I propagate them and how?

3 new stems coming in on my Banyan Roy, however, one has turned brownish black and I’m unsure if it stopped growing be because it was hidden and I didn’t notice it until today. Will it grow or should l carefully slice it off and see if it will re grow healthily. Any tips help thanks!

How and exactly where do I cut to prop this croton? I have cut under a node and plopped into H2O but the normally very stiff (like a Manila folder) leaf immediately goes limp and no roots ever form. I’ve tried twice. I want to prop this beauty so bad! Same question about my other croton, too, please?

Hey y’all! I’ve had this plant for a while and it’s doing amazing and gives off new flowers. I was wondering if I can prop from just this or if I have to buy new plants to add to it. Thanks in advance! :)

What is the best brand of fertilizer pellets to drop into water props and how many pellets would you drop into a small vial of water like the ones shown in my hanging water vial prop below in the pic? I just ordered Garden Safe Take Root from Amazon as it had many good reviews but I’d rather learn from this community. Thx!

Hi! I bought this Banyan Roy from Home Depot like this because I was attracted to the tree like look (with leaves only at top). However, after viewing other pictures of much leafier Banyans, I want branch/leaves to come out the bottom nodes, which are aplenty. 2+ weeks ago I notched every node and applied Keiki paste (white sap came out after notching). So far, nada. Any tips for me? Also wondering, if I cut off the top, 1-2 leaves down, will it grow back out as two branches where I cut or just one? Thx!
