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?

Anybody have any suggestions for propagating this rubber plant? I’m not sure if these guys need any special treatment, lemme know if you have any ideas!
Thanks Friend!

Tips for propagating this rubber plant? Not sure if popping it in water will do anything so if any of you experts know, please tell me!! Thanks so much, hopefully this guy’ll receive adequate care.

I’ve seen a bunch of different information so when propagating golden pothos what is this clear jelly over the root and do I need to be concerned with it ?

Can I plant these Trad Lav leaves 1/3rd into soil and will they grow a new plant? If so, are any of the sad leaves below candidates? The discoloration/crumpling is from getting wet.

New to propagating. For a Monstera and Pothos how long did it take for roots to start growing?

My Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma lost its bottom leaves when I brought it home. I’ve been considering propagating it to make a new plant entirely. However, I love the height and the way it climbs. Thoughts?

Thanks so much!

I repotted a very old spearhead the other day and lost a ton of leaves. I let them callous over for about three days. I sprayed this soil so it was just moist. I dipped the ends in rooting powder and stuck them in there. Should I put the cover on or not? TIA

This cutting is from late April and I cannot get it to root! I’ve tried darker spots brighter spots, I change the water every 3-5 days and it’s doing nothing! It’s a rhaphidophora not a monstera. What am I doing wrong!! It’s not growing and it’s not dying…

I just repotted my Trans Lavender from the small white pot (front left) to the two bigger pots because she wasn’t making new pups or growing taller. Does this make sense or are the new pots too big? Wondering if the two leaves shown in pic (front right) could be propagated by simply pushing 1/3rd into soil? If so, should I let callous first and for how long?

New plant propagator here — I got this philodendron (?) cutting from an earth day event and stuck it in some water. I'm not sure when to transfer to soil, and not sure why parts of the root are much darker than the new part at the end. Any tips appreciated!!
