Is this enough for me to put in soil? Or should I wait a little longer?

Propagation station is set up! 🤗 Hopefully these marble queen nodes will do well. 🌱 Any tips?

Hi. It’s me again. I just posted about Hoya cuttings, but I wanted to make a separate post for alocasia corms. I have four corms at various stages of development: one variegated frydeck which has rooted, and three quilted dreams which have all sprouted. One of the quilted dreams corms is doing really well, so I want to know what next steps are for it. As you can see they are in mini cup greenhouses and I have not watered them since I put them in there several weeks ago. The base is stratum and perlite. When do I go onto the next steps for these and what are those steps please?

I have some Hoya cuttings that I placed in stratum and water and they have now rooted. What are my next steps? I have been keeping them in a greenhouse that has been around 82% humidity. My ambient house humidity is around 55%. I also kept them pretty full with moisture so I don’t know if they’re considered more hydroponic than semi hydroponic. Here are my questions: 1) Can I go straight to soil and take them out of the greenhouse or should I try just having less water in the stratum for a while, and if so, for how long? 2) If I go to soil, is my regular tropical soil mix OK, or should I maybe add some peat or sphagnum moss or something to it for a while? 3) is there a magic number of roots to wait for before I change them or should I wait until they start putting out new growth? Thank you for any help you can give me.

How should I propagate this? It’s building a roof system in a weird spot, I’m afraid of cutting it wrong and killing the plant

3 weeks ago I chopped my ficus tineke and burgundy to encourage them both to branch out. 🌿 Today I was able to pot up the cutting that had lovely roots! Now to find them new homes with some of my favorite people ☺️

After some tips for planting up my monstera cuttings. My original plant gave up due to overwatering (I think) a couple of months ago. I managed to rescue these nodes and propagate in water but no clue what to do next….help appreciated!

I have numerous annuals in a shade bed in my front yard that I have decided to try and propagate from cuttings. In the spring I will harden them and replace this year’s (now dead) plants with the propagations. So far I have Coleus, Angel Wings and Creeping Jenny that I’m working with to return to the garden. Since I am new to this I am wondering if I should be adding plant food to the water? I have an aero garden that I have used for herbs and still have plant food so am wondering if it would be beneficial?

These three recycled containers have cuttings that are slightly damaged or broken stems. The Dragon’s Tail was overgrown. It got a sunburn and was chewed by a caterpillar. 🐛 The fourth cutting is a Hoya Deykeae in sphagnum moss that I bought in February on Etsy. It finally put out new leaves! I realized the sphagnum moss was covering the leaf node. The cutting was putting out new growth, but, they rotted in the wet moss before I could see them. So, I cleared the moss, kept the stem/node area dry and placed it on a sunny northeast window. A new leaf fully formed and it’s beautiful! 😍

Does anyone know how to regrow roots on a dragon tree?

Zz plant leave propagating I have no clue. I have it in moss but I feel it’s not doing as well as it could. Is solid a better option for propagation?

I just notched my Thai constellation last night and I was wondering what I should do while the notch heals? After I initially notched it, I added a little hydrogen peroxide to the wound, then maybe 7 hours later before I went to bed, and a little more this morning. I figured that was probably a good thing... I’m adding a very small amount to the wound, like a drop, so I don’t harm it. I worry I won’t heal the notch correctly and end up rotting it or have to end up chopping it and start over. Lmk! *This pic is about 15 hours later*

HELP😩 My begonia cracklin Rosie broke and I’ve never propagated a begonia before, is this savable?? Can I mend her broken stem?? There are tons of growth points on the broken part but I don’t know where to propagate!

My last round of props did so well I had to try it again. Last round was the maranta and the monstera Thai constellation, this round is a lot of pothos’ and a top cutting from my pink princess philodendron. All cuttings dipped in rooting powder and then set for 2 hours before putting in water 🌱💧

I’ve been having this guy propagating for about 9 months now… and I just noticed it is growing these little babies.. any idea on what I should do? I’m so scared to pot it and kill it and have no idea how to handle the baby situation!

I found all of these little guys in my parlor palm…. Do you use these to propagate? I’ve never owned one before. Some of them have roots growing from them. If so, how do you propagate them?

Anyone know what this is? It’s a random bulb I found in my cabinet. I’ve had it in water and the yellow leaves turned green and I’m about to put it up cause the bulb is getting squishy but I have no clue what it could be!
