To prop or not to prop? My albo syngonium is probably my favorite plant and has been growing like crazy ever since I got it. Wondering if I should prop this stem? And I can always add it back in the pot. Thoughts?

Hi, new plant parent here, I adopted this Monstera from Target a month or so ago & shes doing well 🙂 I was wondering if i can water propagate this stem, as I see a node or aerial root (correct me on which one please) popping out, or would it not be wise to propagate just yet? (Also, I took that velcro on top off)

First time propagating. These cuttings had some roots before I put them in water and now they look dark. Did I do something wrong?

Hey does anyone know much about propagating a string of hearts plant? Also does anyone know how to make a string of heart plant more full? I have two really long strands and would love my plant to look more full around the pot.

Has anyone propagated a monstera cutting without a node?

These Tradescantia have been nothing but trouble. Originally got them in a too-small plastic pot with drainage, and repotted due to the roots coming out the bottom holes. Put into a slightly larger terra-cotta pot with drainage, but they quickly developed root rot. Removed them and the effected roots, repotted with more drainage, same thing. Had to take cuttings and root them in water, but same thing keeps happening, no matter the soil type, pot, or drainage. Trying LECA w/ Liquid dirt as a last attempt, but I’m not confident on them. Any tips?

My snake plant had babies! I didn’t expect this EDIT: I learned a fun fact, snake babies are actually called “pups” 🐶

I’m water propagating monstera adansonii cuttings & am wondering if I should split this into two cuttings? Not sure if that would be beneficial.

I think my spider plant is trying to escape its pot. It looks happy and healthy and thriving and at first I thought it was just because it needed repotting deeper in a bigger pot and was root bound in its current one but I’ve done that it’s in a bigger pot but it’s roots are growing outward to the sky! Do spider plants climb? are these aerial roots?

Hey! So I have a boat lily that was getting bare in the middle and overgrown. I cut it all the way down and repotted the root ball then dipped all the cuttings in root hormone and potted up into 4 other pots! My question is, when should I water the cuttings and should I wait any certain amount of time before putting them back in pretty direct sunlight? Any experienced help appreciated!

Hey, a couple months ago I planted this propagated plant for a club. Could anybody tell me what type it is and when I need to switch it to a bigger pot. It used to have the flower but it fell of a couple weeks after I potted it.
