Help! I received these two pothos cuttings from a kind stranger. I read to keep them submerged for about 10 days until roots grow then plant. It’s been over 2 weeks and I don’t see any action. I’ve been changing water every few days and trying to keep them in the brightest spot in my house, although I don’t get a lot of direct sun in the winter. Any tips on what to do?
How do I know when to plant? This is my first time propagating and I just can’t tell when it’s ready!
I know it’s wrong but it makes me so happy to take pieces of outdoor plants I see I like in public and try to propagate it and learn about it for fun. I find it very de-stressing to take walks and pick a piece of something and then do this. I know it’s wrong but i look forward to my daily walk (I live in Florida so plants are everywhere all the time outside). I don’t dig up peoples plants or take huge pieces from peoples houseplants or sneak around their backyard but if I am walking past a neighbors or public place on the sidewalk and they have a giant rose bush I will pinch off maybe 2-3 inches of a stem? I only do this on really big outdoor plants. Really how horrible is this? It’s bad… 😫
I took these off of a small succulent i got from home depot. Im not sure what the plant is, but can anyone give me a heads up on propigating it? I plan on watering it regularly (letting the soil dry between waterings) and i use a spray bottle to water them. Im only worried about the lighting for them though because i read a comment on a post here and someone said they wont do well with too much light, but i feel like i dont have enough light because they are in my room and my room is rather dark.
Is this bird of paradise gonna grow roots?
I got this cute little propagation station from target for $3🫶🏻
Propagating my African Violet!! ..wish me luck!
Started propagating last month and they’re doing great so far 🤩🤩
Recently got this burle marxi philodendron in water… any tips on when I should move it to a pot and what pot size to use?
Just planted this dude i've been propagating since 12/2/23
how does this setup look yall, the water line is under the node and the node isn’t sitting on wet perlite, i added a cup to act as a green house, it has little holes on the top for some airflow, any suggestions for improvement??
Hello, I’m not to familiar with propagating and am wonder if this lil guy my spider plant sprouted could be cut and made into a baby spider plant? If so what’s be the right way to do so?
The girl in front of me at the plant store today wasn’t paying attention and let the door close on the plant she had just purchased and kept walking. As I’m walking out I find this. What is the best way of propagating this piece? I’m guessing because it has aerial roots it should be able to grow, I just want to get it into the correct medium to encourage that growth.
Hi all, I’m trying to save my money tree (whole trunk was soft with root rot) and I took a cutting, but the piece I’m propagating is weak & bent in one place. Should I cut it above this spot now?
I know it doesn’t look like much, but I’m excited about my Alocasia corms propagation station! Here I have a Polly, Verigated Frydek, and Quilted Dream growing from corms. Zoom in for a closer look. So exciting!!!!
My first propagating efforts! I put the spiderettes in water until the roots sprouted. And was able to plant today! Complete joy! 🪴💛
I might need some advice with these bachelor button seeds. I wanted to get ahead of the game by germinating the seeds via the “paper towel method” but a week has passed with zero chance in the seeds. Any recommendations? Or should I just put them straight in a pot with soil?
I snipped these to make room and spent a few days deliberating whether to toss them, follow up with a flakey Facebook buyer, or build an Empire of Glauchids. The last one is the default and requires very little work as long as I keep my fingers clean. $10 well-spent on this trashy, awesome science project.
Propagating Iresine This is a cutting and clearly it isn’t happy. It doesn’t seem to be dead and the other Iresine I have is dramatic, so I’m hopeful it’ll come around soon. I read that you can prop these in water or soil. I did water with the first one and it did die and this one I’m trying soil. Any tips / suggestions for propagating these cuties? They’re one of my favourite plants! Thanks!
HELP! Hi there! I found this little guy I’ve named Wes in terrible condition and I’m trying to rehydrate and nurse it back to health. Planta experts noted I could try to propagate the top portion. (Please note, I am a beginner in all things plants/cacti) I have never tried to propagate anything before, could anyone shed light on how I should proceed? Thank you for taking the time to read/share advice!
