Is there any saving the little last root of my peace lily? It got root rot and I cut it all off and put hydrogen peroxide on it. I had it in soil and changed it to water.

Anyone know what this is? I used a plant app called “seek” that’s usually really good at identifying but the one it’s coming up with doesn’t seem right.

So I recently got a bunch of cuttings and need to root them. I decided to make a prop box with sphagnum moss and perlite for most of them but kept the pictum and a piece of the baltic blue pothos in water. I need all the tips for prop boxes and propagation! I also coated the roots in a rooting hormone for the ones I put in the box. I’m just so nervous that they won’t root for some reason since I’ve always rooted in water lol! p.s. the prop box is on my patio (not in direct sun) bc it is very warm and humid outside right now

I got this beautiful monstera leaf from my local buy nothing group but not sure if it’s propagatable (not a word) - I’m not familiar with leaves this big…is there a node on this? Am I able to do it? Appreciate any advice.

My black velvet gave me some corms/bulbs and I want to know how I can get them to grow effectively. I have sphagnum moss peat and perlite, I don’t have access to just sphagnum moss at the moment, any idea of what I can do?

So we have a couple of different kinds of begonias growing in our backyard - one I knew we had (it’s huge and everywhere) and some strawberry begonias that I just noticed this summer. Is there a way I could cut a few and propagate them? I’ve never owned begonias so I’m clueless lol Thanks in advance for any advice or tips! 🪴

Advice on speeding up the propagation process?

Moved my nanouks into soil, for the most part, after mooonths of trying to water prop and having most of the stems rot. I have hope for the remaining water one, but… not a lot

Hi! This is my first time seeing these little sprouts! What should I do about them? Can they be under the water like I have the roots? 🤔 Thanks in advance for any advice about my pineapple prop!

💚🥬🌱🫑🤎💚🥬🌱🫑🤎💚🥬🌱🫑🤎💚 Nothing is better than waking up on your day off and planting seeds! I used all burpee supplies and the seed brands I used are Pennington, Ferry~Morse, Burpee and Seeds of Change. My seed soil mix is 1/3 Peat Moss (for nutrient balance), 1/3 Coconut Coir (for drainage), and 1/3 Vermiculite (for moisture retention). Got this recipe from Jiffy. Very excited to see them sprout. Right now they are in my greenhouse I bought from Amazon for $65. I will update you guys when something sprouts! I’m going to water daily using a spray bottle or squeeze bottle. I planted Kale, rosemary ,chamomile, basil, sweet peppers, cilantro, micro greens, lemon balm, butterfly milkweed, echinacea, snapdragons, cosmos, peas, lettuce, peppermint, and beans. (P.s. highly recommend listening to these songs while seeding: “Back to the Earth” by Jason Mraz, “Fallingwater” by Maggie Rogers, “Plants” by Crumb, and “Hidden in the Sand” by Tally Hall.) 💚🥬🌱🫑🤎💚🥬🌱🫑🤎💚🥬🌱🫑🤎💚

I’m going to try to propagate my Peperomia but am VERY new to plants. This Peperomia doesn’t really have “nodes”, so I’m not sure if I can do it in water like I did with my Pothos. What suggestions do you have for propagating this? Should I be pruning the mother plant more as I collect cuttings?

Grew these sunflowers from seed this year (direct sow). I didn’t have any luck with them last year but they are HUGE this time!

My money plant is sprouting up babies and I’m so excited! I don’t have experience propagating these, do you just carefully pull them from the soil and repot them?

Very weird but my zebra plant is growing a new plant from its flower stem… does anyone know if/how I can propagate from this?

Hey peeps! Attempting to regrow a rubber plant, someone suggested I should just put it in soil (after drying for an hour), water it, and cover it with suran rap. Is this correct? Thanks!

Any advice on propping this Hoya imbricata cutting I just got? The stem looks dead. The inner part does seem to have some baby roots. I was going to use Fluval. Do I just stuff the Fluval in the leaf and slightly dampen it? Do I bury the whole leaf in Fluval? Do I just stick the stem itself in Fluval?

Can anyone tell me what these two white spots are on my pothos prop? I’ve had these cutting in water for about two weeks and just noticed these white spots on multiple of the cuttings. Is it anything I should worry about?
