I’ve been propagating several plants in water, and for the most part they’ve been doing fine, but recently several have started rotting at the root tips. Why is this happening? I change out water fairly often.

Update on poddy! Ok so wasn’t sure what was going to happen with this one but it has roots! Leaves are healthy however I’m not sure what will happen past that as it’s showing no signs of leaf growth.

I collected all the Asian poison bulb babies and put them in an empty container just so dog wouldn’t eat them and they finally sprouted! I gave up hope. I am guessing I just plant them now?

This is my first time growing Stefania Erecta. It looks and feels like a flattened round potato. Instructions state to soak the bottom in warm water for 24 hours to get the roots going. I fear soaking the wrong end. The bottom is supposed to be flat with a round circular node. There is no clearly flat end like the ones pictured online. I found a round white circle. Is that the bottom or is the small circular bump at the opposite end the bottom? I’m sending the seller an email to get help. Thought I would ask here.

Well, it’s been 24 days since I nervously topped my Dracaena and low and behold! It has two new branches starting! I almost cant believe it. I added some fertilizer today and I’m excited to see what will come of all this. Feeling like a mad scientist! :)

Hello! I’ve had this monstera planted in water for just over a year now and noticed it’s trying to sprout a new leaf! Now I’m tempted to put it in soil but I’m not sure if I should because it’s been in water for so long. Any suggestions?

I have this Chinese Money Plant propagation, but I can’t tell if these are little roots that are growing or something else.. I have this propagation sitting in water, not soil. I change the water at least once a week & I have it about a foot away from the window so it’s getting sunlight but not direct sunlight because I’m scared it’ll scorch. Any ideas?

Houseplants, for the most part, I don’t have a problem propagating. Herbs, on the other hand, I’ve had success in the past but my current cuttings are struggling. Or maybe I’m impatient. It’s been nearly a month. I prop in water (same as last time), and they’re thriving, but I’m not seeing roots. I’ve got sage and rosemary going. I’ve done rosemary before but sage is new to me. Has anyone else done these and had success? Did I just get lucky the first time?

I was going to donate these nail polish holders but i got the idea to use them for my propagations! i like the idea of each prop having its own individual grow area :)

My moon cactus is very very sad. Somehow she has not all the way died but she’s on her way. Does anyone know how I could revive/propagate her?

I’m propagating Golden Pothos cuttings in water. Several are ready to be transferred into soil, but then when I went to do that today, I noticed this weird white stuff on the underwater nodes of several of them. Anyone know what this is? (Cross posted from Pothos group, apologies if you’re seeing it twice!)

Should I propagate this polka dot begonia? It just produced a bloom. It’s is very leggy. Should I repot? It is on my porch and is LOVING it! Lots of new leaves! Leave it alone?? Help!
