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.

My first time regretting a chop and prop 🥲 I’m sure it’ll grow and I’ll have two beautiful plants, but I didn’t realize how much I loved this guy being tall and majestic. I feel like I got a dramatic haircut that I don’t like 😭😂 My plant clippers had been missing for almost three weeks and I finally found them. I went over and immediately started the chops I’d been planning without thinking enough 😅

Not technically propagating, but maybe I should be! My jade plant is making aerial roots?! Is this normal?

I’ve been working on these heart leaf babies for a couple weeks. I got them to root in water so I transferred them to soil 2 weeks ago. The leaves are doing good except in is starting to turn yellow. Should I cut it off or let it keep yellowing?

I propagated my Philodendron a few weeks ago and wondering if I will grow back soon. I know it should but it’s been super leggy.

The picture on the right is my mama haworthia. Right next to the mama on the left, you can see a few leaves. Yup, that is (or was) her pup. When examining the pup, I accidentally broke it but it just happened to snap in the perfect spot! I got some succulent soil, added some rooting horomone, and voila! I hope she’ll grow to be big and strong just like her mama! The broken pup will hopefully grow back so I can propagate her again :) Wish these sweet babies luck and hope that they have a long happy life!

Some of the leaves that fell off my jellybean cactus during shipping have produced offsprings after 2.5 weeks! I feel like a proud grandmother!😍🍼 One leaf was pulled to an upright position by its roots and there was a twin underneath! So cool. Plants are smart!🤣

Plastic bottles make such handy drainage pots on the fly so I like to keep them around just incase also cue tip and hair cream tubs are handy for different shapes pots or when your prop gets a little bigger.

There’s little white bits coming from this node that lost its leaves does anyone know if it’ll grow new leaves or strings? Or if it would be worth pressing into the soil so that it roots?

My Callisia Repens variegated put out roots in 2 to 3 days in water and is easy to propagate in soil, as well. 💧🌱🌱🌱

I’ve been trying to propagate some aloe Vera for a while now and I followed steps cutting the leaf leaving it to callus for a week before potting in soil but it’s been in soil for some time now and there’s no signs of anything happening. Has anyone propagated aloe from single leaf cutting before ? Does anyone have any tips?
