Hey, just remembered I had this propagating. I took this cutting off my mums plant and I think I done something wrong. I watched a tutorial on how to cut and I’ve cut right above a node. Do I need to put more water? Do I need to cut some of the leaves? Did I fail and have to do it again? Please tell me a way I can save this

Should I pot up these 3 Basil babies alone or together? They’ve been happily rooting together in a glass but I don’t want to overcrowd them in a pot.

[ BURGUNDY FICUS ELASTICA ] I cut my ficus in the end of June. My goal was to make it grow bushier instead of taller. I cut the top part right under 2 different nodes, let both cuttings callous for 24h and then put them in water until they made roots. Once the roots were about 2" long and started branching out, I stuck the cuttings back in the same pot as the mother plant. New leaves are growing everywhere so it's definitely bushier and the branches from the cuttings got a to y bit longer as well. My questions are : - The new leaves have been growing very slowly compared to when other leaves grew before cutting it and they are smaller as well. - Should I repot all 3 stems (mother + 2 new ones) into a bigger pot ? - What type of light have your ficus elasticas been thriving in ? Because I'm confused from everything I've been reading on the internet and on the app. All your tips to help me achieve my goal are welcome.

First attempt at propagating, waited a month to check and couldn’t wait any longer. On the right is a Persian Lime cutting from a new plant I got at the store and the left is a cutting from a neighbor’s peach tree branch that broke off during a storm.

I’ve propagated a few leaves from my sick Pothos and this is 11 days of root growth. How much longer should I keep them in here?

So this little plant is confusing me. I cleaned the roots and stem because the roots are brown, and yet they’re growing little white roots on the sides? I’ve had this plantling since July 2nd (my birthday) and it hasn’t grown another leaf yet. I think it keeps TRYING to grow another leaf but it keeps rotting at the top and trying again. I’m just not sure, I’ve never propagated before.

I’ve had some begonia nodes in moss for about 6 weeks, finally sprouting but no sign of roots. How much longer should I wait before putting them in soil?

Does anyone have any tips on making your own root growth hormone? I’ve seen a lot of different tips online, but I’d love to hear what has and hasn’t worked for you all. Specifically, I’m working on propagating my jade plant from stem cuttings. Feel free to turn this into a thread sharing your favorite propagation tips too. TIA!
